Autistic Memory and Attention To Detail - Are you a Perfectionist?

Do you find yourself remembering things at the wrong time? Not forgetting entirely, more like remembering too late? Could it be related to autistic memory? I feel like I have a mistimed brain because I tend to remember or notice things at the wrong times. Meanwhile, I still remember and keep an eye on each step of the process because I want to do it perfectly. However, getting things perfect is a physically and mentally exhausting process. Also, it doesn’t help that we get labeled as pedantic, stubborn, rigid, perfectionist, and inflexible. In this video, I'll share the challenges I've experienced and the strategies I use to avoid overwhelming cognitive load. 🎞️Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 0:30 My Mistimed Brain 3:23 Is this perfectionism? 5:03 The Autistic Labels/Stereotypes 7:17 Have a finish line 10:30 The Right Way versus The Perfect Way ----------------------------------------------- 👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!! If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you! I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30. Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know. Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person. Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way. Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too. ➡️️    / @autismfromtheinside   👋Connect with me: ➡️️ Patreon:   / aspergersfromtheinside   ➡️️ Facebook:   / autismfromtheinside.com.au   ➡️️ Twitter:   / aspiefrominside   ➡️️ Written Blog: https://aspergersfromtheinside.com/ ➡️️ Email: [email protected] Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my channel!
