Monotropism - Does It Really Describe Autistic Thinking?

How do you pay attention? What do you pay attention to? Can you direct your attention? Do you sometimes feel like a slave to your attention orientation? Monotropism is a theory around attention that many autistic people including myself resonate with. It describes both out strengths and our weaknesses. Before I read the original paper proposing this theory I felt it made sense of practically everything in terms of the way my attention plays out. However, after reading the full paper and carrying out further research I realised it didn't even touch the sides. This is a video about that.
