An on-demand training about Interoception and Monotropism from Kieran Rose and Kelly Mahler.

This on-demand training was originally recorded live and the recording includes a Q&A with Kieran and Kelly and downloadable resources.

If you want to learn about the important intersection of monotropism and interoception, this course is a great place to start.

Monotropism, which is a common experience for many Autistics and ADHDers, is a term used to describe a thinking and processing style that utilizes a deep attentional focus on a few things at once that are intrinsically motivating or interesting, as opposed to a polytropic experience of attention that allows a person to focus on a broader range of things, though less deeply.

An on-demand training about Interoception and Masking from Kieran Rose and Kelly Mahler.

This on-demand training was originally recorded live and the recording includes a Q&A with Kieran and Kelly and downloadable resources.

If you want to learn about the important intersection of masking and interoception, this interactive course is a great place to start.

Masking refers to a safety response in which a person is driven to project an acceptable version of who they are in order to survive the world. Once considered to be a conscious, purposeful process of doing things on purpose to ‘fit in’, latest science and lived experience proves that masking is an automatic trauma response to stigma, invalidation and marginalization.

This 50 minute talk introduces the theory of Monotropism to describe the Autistic brain and it's heavy focus on attention, how that connects with what are described as 'special interests'; and how that can present in Autistic spoken communication.

The theory of Monotropism (also known as the Unifying theory of Autism) is used to describe the difference between an interest driven Autistic brain with a deep singular focus on things it’s attention is drawn to (Monotropic), as opposed to a non-Autistic brain which can be multiply focused with more shallow split attention (Polytropic).

In this presentation Kieran;

• Introduces Monotropism
• Explains how that connects with ideas around ‘Special Interests’
• Highlights the connection between Monotropic thought and Autistic spoken communication styles
• Discusses the importance of why those communication styles should be validated

Accompanying this presentation are a number of valuable resources;

• The originally published paper on Monotropism by Dinah Murray and Wenn Lawson
• A wider explanation by Dr Damian Milton
• A research paper on Monotropism and Autistic learning styles in school children, by Dr Rebecca Wood
• An accompanying article by Fergus Murray from ‘The Psychologist’

This presentation is ideal for Professionals, Autistic people and those who support Autistic people, particularly those who are new to the idea of Monotropism.

• The definitions of Meltdowns, Shutdowns and Autistic Burnout, identifying them and the role of Practitioners in supporting those engaging in them.

The must read Autistic Making book from Kieran Rose and Dr Amy Pearson. No 1 Amazon bestseller in 3 categories.

Masking is a form of identity management involving consciously or unconsciously suppressing aspects of identity and action. Often seen in socially marginalised groups, it is found to contribute towards poorer outcomes for autistic people, and is related to higher prevalence of suicidality, exhaustion and burnout, and mental health difficulties. Autistic Masking offers a holistic understanding of the most up-to-date evidence in this field, with the aim of developing solid knowledge and practice in health, education and society.

Written to be accessible to everyday readers with an interest in autism as well as academics and professionals, the book deconstructs the predominant misconception that masking is purely a social strategy to ‘blend in’ with neurotypical (non-autistic) people. The authors consider the social context that facilitates impression management, including an individual’s response to stigma or trauma, and take an intersectional approach to exploring how autistic identity may interact with other aspects of selfhood.
