I also talked about monotropism; the distinctive depth and narrowness of autistic attention.
The tendency to go very deep, to struggle with switching, to get overwhelmed by competing demands - and to experience the world with such a particular intensity.
Again: not just ‘life is hard’, but a very specific way of processing and experiencing.

Then, as we’re not listened to, society's understanding of autism develops without us.🤷🏽♀️
That flawed understanding is then used to overrule us, again.
Strange little loop. ➰

GABA/glutamate imbalance is a core feature of Autism. A new review describes how reduced GABA signaling may lead to excessive excitation in key brain circuits. 🧠✨🔍

Can anyone recommend any book(s) on #AuDHD? Looking for something that's not just a basic 'what's AuDHD?' but rather more about how #autism and #ADHD / #ADD interact, as well as how to cope. Bonus points if it also takes into account gender differences in presentation of both / either issues.
Articles / research projects also of interest, of course, if you're aware of any. -

🧬 Why do humans think so differently from Neanderthals? The answer might lie in gene switches, not the genes themselves.

Our research is now supported by a 2024 Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) Pilot Award, co-funded by the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation (NLMFF). I am grateful to both SFARI and NLMFF for investing in high-risk, high-reward science to advance understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurodevelopmental disorders.
The project will explore how mutations in chromatin regulators ASH1L and SETBP1 impair their crucial role in guiding the development of GABAergic neurons—key cells maintaining the brain’s balance between excitation and inhibition. Disruptions in this process are strongly linked to ASD, but the molecular pathways remain poorly understood.
By integrating genomic, proteomic, and functional approaches, we aim to reveal how these enzymes regulate gene activity during inhibitory neuron development and how their dysfunction contributes to ASD.
