Guy called Kurti introduced me to CBT. I like it’s practices, and while I find DBT gets more cleanly to the heart of my issues, both were instrumental in familiarizing myself with biases. Monotropism, dialectics, and all or nothing thinking steer us towards very opposing ideas and we must choose.

That's so great to hear! Although I'm not sure that's a feature I'd pick out as being central to #monotropism...

People don’t really get it because those who can socialise naturally don’t think of it any differently to breathing. Yes the monotropism kicks in. Epic burnout indeed. Been over two years and just coming out of it.

One of the main themes of the Stanford Neurodiversity Summit has been ND-informed approaches to supporting autistic patients, clients, and students. It's been refreshing to see clinicians like Dr. @mengchuanlai.bsky.socialmed.stanford.edu/neurodiversi...

I get that sometimes. Monotropism to blame.

It's just occurred to me that this is the first time some of you may be hearing about monotropism. So here's a really great resource on the subject.
