How would you explain to someone who is neurotypical (a nice one who wants to understand) what body doubling is and why it's helpful and sometimes even necessary for overwhelming tasks?

I've had to describe this to my very lovely NT friend and my explanation sucked lol. Pls help.

Just make sure not to " switch " between the two. Ahem.

Wondering whether some older undiagnosed autistics might’ve been mis-diagnosed with dementia due to poorer executive function as they age & cope less well with stress. @actuallyautistic

Anyone else find their brain's particular quirks get in the way of creative processes?
Example: trying to compose a piece of music but you fixate on a single passage and cant stop playing with it like endlessly transposing it etc. and you get completely stuck at that point as a result?

I concluded the above in a previous journal entry, that I had come by recently.

I think it's more true than not.

More true that I would admit to.

What’s the biggest myth about autism that my comrades have come across in the course of their self-advocacy?

Near to this, I recall one time that I read an article.

"Having OCD Means you clean things a lot."

Was the headline.

I shared that head line, and I simply added

"No. No, it does not."

@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd I know this isn't specifically an autistic/ADHD trait, but I have a lot of trouble remembering people's names. Usually I have to write down the name, take a picture of it, or make an association that sticks. Does this happen to any of you too?
