I totally relate to the part where you said you forget that not everyone else is as deep into the subject of neuro divergence as you are! It can become so absolutely absorbing and totally integral in your life that it’s easy to forget that it’s not like that for everyone.
Integral in your life - that’s it! It’s with me all of the time; that’s hard to grasp for others and doesn’t always make it easy to find ways to invite others in without going in all the way!
I totally agree, you can't really it do it half arsed! I feel like that's part of the reason I don't connect well with a lot of people, it's kind of all or nothing!

I know that neurodivergent folk have an interest-based nervous system, but haven't heard of monotropism - going to look it up now, so thank you!
It’s fascinating! Enjoy diving into it! :)
I especially appreciated how you are challenged with interoception
Glad you found it informative Isaiah and that my examples were helpful!
This was very informative about how to reframe neurodivergent experiences
