Different types of not being able to do something
As the title suggests: In this video I explore the different types of not being able to do something that autistic (and ADHD people) face. Brace yourselves, folks; it's a long one! Topics covered in video: executive dysfunction, monotropism, autistic inertia and selective mutism. Please note that you will hear me refer to someone with a classical presentation of autism as: "an autistic individual" or "an autistic person". I am well aware that PDA is a behaviour profile within the autism spectrum, and I am aware that "classical autism" is in and of itself vague and perhaps meaningless because there is a multitude of autism presentations; I simply wished to make distinctions for the sake of simplicity.
