First time in the wild I've seen someone else reference monotropism- I also feel like it describes me to a t. Thanks for sharing your experience here. Hope you're getting along ok :)
Yeah, I encountered it once in comments here, and then a bit more recently as I was doing research. It’s interesting that it’s not more widely discussed but I suspect it’s just because it’s not well-studied.

Thanks! It certainly helps to have a clearer idea of the differences (or potential differences as I try to remind myself) in how I think compared to how others think. I’m glad you feel confidence in the idea as well! I’ve seen it elsewhere but it’s always nice to have this independently “agreed upon” (since I don’t quite want to call it “confirmed”).
