@Reemt I’ve learned to accept my monotropic and ADHD brain and just know that, yes, the packing will all happen at once and only when I’ve quieted the other things that demand attention in my head. Kind of like skipping tracks until that song the properly matched one’s mood turns up.

CW: PSA - some maybe useful terms for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD folks
We've been reading more into AuDHD burnout recently, but not enough to write a full post on that. However, in doing so, we've learnt some useful terms that we wanted to share.
Monotropism (monotropic)
- You focus more intensely on one task (or a small number of tasks).
- Allows for deep, intense thinking and entering flow states.
- Busy, unadjusted environments with lots of distractions and being interrupted mid-flow cause stress, anger, and exhaustion.
- Common (but not universal) neurodivergent experience.
Polytropism (polytropic)
- You can switch your focus between multiple tasks at once.
- Ability to switch between multiple tasks with a shallow focus.
- More comfortable in busy, changeable environments.
- Common (but not universal) non-neurodivergent experience.
Alexithymia (alexithymic)
- Sometimes called emotional blindness.
- Difficulty in recognising, expressing, feeling, sourcing, and describing your own emotions.
