@cynaq @actuallyautistic It explains a great many more autistic traits.
How it can be so hard to focus on both facial/body language and speech. Or groups with multiple dialogs!
How easy it is to miss things when in an attention tunnel, so others' needs may not be considered (seen as "lack of empathy").
Why sensory things can be so overwhelming, because all your focus goes to the thing.
Poor introception because you're always distracted.
And more still...
