An original, on-demand training from Kieran Rose
Monotropism: Interests and Language and Autistic Spoken Communication
Learn about the 'Unfiying Theory of Autism'
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).
This on-demand training introduces the theory of Monotropism to describe the Autistic brain and it's heavy focus on attention. It also explains how attention connects with what are described as 'special interests'; and how that can present in Autistic spoken communication.
What You'll Learn:
- What Monotropism is.
- How Monotropism connects with ideas around 'Special Interests.'
- The connections between monotropic thoughts and Autistic spoken communication styles.
- The importance of why Autistic communication styles should be validated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the most commonly asked questions about my on-demand autism training. If you have anything else you would like to ask please email us at michelle<at>theautisticadvocate.com
How long do I have access for?
For my own on-demand trainings you have lifetime access. This means the lifetime of the training, not your lifetime (or Kieran's lifetime!!). Should we decide to no longer sell the training we will give you plenty of notice so that you have time to watch everything. Where I have co-created trainings with other people the lenght of access may differ and this will be clearly explained on the info page.
Can I ask Kieran questions?
All of my on-demand trainings are pre-recorded and don't have any direct access to me.
I have bought my place but am struggling to access the training inside of Teachable. Can you help?
Please email Michelle and she will help you - michelle<at>theautisticadvocate.com
How do I contact you?
Via email; michelle<at>theautisticadvocate.com
Why do you charge in multiple currencies? What if my currency isn't listed?
We're based in th UK and have students worldwide so we offer $USD, GBP and Euro payments as standard.
Our online school is hosted on the Teachable platform. Payments are processed via Teachable's own checkout system.
If you'd like to pay in your on currency please email michelle<at>
Why am I paying tax?
Students may have to pay tax at their local rate. This is calculated, and dealt with by Teachable (where we host our online school and where payments are taken), as per the tax rules in your country/state.
We do not receive any of your tax.
UK customers are not currently subject to UK VAT.
We do need you to complete the relevant section on the checkout page if you are a business/charity etc so that the sales tax is dealt with correctly.
Does the course come with CEU/CPD credits?
No, but they do all have the option to download a personalised completion certificate/
Do you offer bursaries?
It has always been our aim that Kieran's online trainins are as accessible as possible.
However, if you want to buy the training but paying will make you struggle financially please contact us and we will always try to help you. We can offer full or part bursaries.
Can I buy spaces for family and friends?
Yes, Teachable now offers this feature. You can choose this option at the checkout for all of our trainings. You would need to buy a place for each individual person as each purchase gives one person access.
Do you offer refunds?
No. Due to the immediate access you receive to all of the training and resources we do not offer refunds.
We are willing to be flexible for up to 30 days if you have not accessed any of the training material you purchased. If you accessed any of the material within 30 days we reserve the right not to offer you a refund.
Whilst this may sound harsh, we do this to discourage people from signing up, downloading all of the course materislas, and then 'complaining' and demanding a refund (this happens more than you believe!). We run a business which supports our family so we try to be firm, yet fair.
We do have terms and conditions (https://theautisticadvocate.com/terms/) if you would like to see these before deciding to make your purchase.
Why do you swap between 'I' and 'we' on this page?
Good question! Kieran creates all of the training and when it's him talking about that he uses 'I' e.g. 'I created The Inside of Autism.'
However, we're a family-run business as Michelle, Kieran's wife, supports him with marketing, running our online school, building the website, general admin etc. So if you spot a 'we' that's talking about something Michelle and Kieran do as a team.
Not in need of training, but still found my website useful?
I know not everyone wants, or needs to buy one of my training courses, but I often find people will read one of my free articles and want to say ‘thank you’ (and this is really appreciated as they’re a lot of work to write!)
Buying me a virtual coffee is a really easy way to say thanks.
It also supports me to keep being able to create new, free content and also keep my older, free content up-to-date. It also allows me to keep my website ad-free.
My Autism FAQs page is a good place to start if you’re new to my work and want to explore more. Thanks for your support, Kieran.
