  1. Understanding Monotropism and “Negative” Thoughts

    There's a belief that "ruts" happen from multiple passes over the same territory, whether they're from repetitive thinking or from tires and the weight of a vehicle, and I'd argue that rather often, that's simply not the case. Simply put, a rut

    Hey, I know a book by an Autistic author which addresses the DSM criteria! 🥳

    It is a BRILLIANT book called 'But You Don't Look Autistic At All' by Bianca Toeps, an Autistic author and I really think it should be talked about more than it is.

    I highly recommend this book!

  6. @ashleyspencer @dquinn03 Also, I think some authors are #ActuallyAutistic and haven’t realised it yet. They write characters that they say are not Autistic, but they model them on what they know, unidentified Autism…

    Eg. Matt Haig realising he’s Autistic, I’m reading his books at the moment and so many Autistic themes and personalities.

    I think Fredrik Backman author of ‘A Man Called Ove’ may be too?

  8. @innervisioner @sheepnik I’ve just finished ‘The Humans’ and started ‘How to stop time’ and the theme of being different, not belonging, an outsider looking in, runs thru the books… Very relatable!

    I started my ‘Matt Haig Odyssey’ after seeing that Instagram post announcing that he is Autistic.

  10. @Fullnihilism @bethan @actuallyautistic @bookstodon Yes, I did read it years ago tbh and I didn't relate at all, but that's just me... I find #AutisticAuthors such as #HannahGadsby #BiancaToeps and ElleMcNicoll to be much more relatable, I can see myself in their writing, I couldn't in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

    Just read ‘A Kind Of Spark’ by Elle McNicoll and everyone at the #BookClub loved it. I had no idea what it was like, I think it’s seriously underrated.

    Someone at the group was going to buy lots of copies to give away to their friends, as a primer on #Autism and how we experience the world, it’s that good!
