Autistic people are often ‘monotropic’. Monotropic minds tend to have their attention pulled more strongly towards a smaller number of interests at any given time, leaving fewer resources for other processes. It seems not only autistic people may experience monotropism and it may be more widly experienced by neurodivergent people, such as ADHDers.
