Autistic traits passed off as being ‘too sensitive’ #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiverent

The language of the Neurodiversity Paradigm is soooo hot right now. But you can’t just pop some neuro-word in place of “autism” and call yourself “Neuro-affirming.” That’s the low-hanging fruit of #neurodiversitylite. #neuroaffirming #neurodiversity #actuallyautistic

FYI... Autistic people tend to think in complexities.

Someone can ask us to do something seemingly straightforward, but our brains will often make it into something extremely complex and nuanced.

We ask questions to untangle our thoughts.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

So, the other day, I stumbled upon a research study that I think could explain why we do this.

The researchers found that autistic brains have 50% more synapses than non autistic brains... in some cases, they even found up to 2/3rds more.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

The explanation they gave for this is that during development in autistic brains, there is a slowdown in the natural pruning process, which is when brains remove synapses that are no longer needed.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

One researcher who has done work in the area of over-connectivity in the brain explained that...

With too many synapses, a "brain region that should be talking only to a select number of other regions is receiving irrelevant information from many others"...

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

So, back to autistic people thinking in complexities and asking questions to untangle our thoughts... this is more than likely why.

By the way, this probably also explains why our brains generate, on average, 42% more information at rest than non autistic brains.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

I don't know about you, but this research explains a LOT to me about the autistic experience. Like, a lot a lot.

How about you?
