It’s sort of funny to realize I’m fairly neutral on the extraversion scale but just absurdly monotropic. So monotropic, I literally forget to socialize

I'm reviving my series on Asperger's to talk about what the symptoms actually feel like from the inside. This covers monotropic attention, why conversations feel like they're happening down a hallway instead of right in front of me, and the dissociation that came with growing up this way.

According to a questionnaire I just took, I am more monotropic than 69% of autistic people, i.e. monotropic as fuck.

I'm happy to talk to ICE agents but the conversation may veer... monotropic.

In this video I break down the specific symptoms I've dealt with my whole life: narrowed perception and monotropic attention, difficulty tracking conversations in real time, feeling disconnected from my own body, meltdowns from being overwhelmed, and an aversion to affection and physical closeness.
