I'll definitely purchase. It's shipping after my birthday!
I did a research presentation on autistic play and included information on monotropic flow. I also interviewed some of my autistic friends about their experience of it.
In @thendbee.bsky.social & my chapter on the lived experiences of neurodivergent undergrads, we barely touched on monotropism.
I think reading it in conjunction with Carl's would really deepen someone's understanding of both, though - a neat example of the book's coherency!

💡 Peer support needs career pathways.
Andy Bell & Mel Ball highlight that underfunding and lack of progression risk making peer support unresponsive to communities. The NHS Long Term Plan was a step forward, but more is needed.

New research suggests that those with a more diverse set of life experiences see more discrete 'events' daily than those who are isolated: www.bps.org.uk/research-dig...

Have you experienced going into very closed, insular, communities? Do you find it easy to understand the people? Do you find it easy to fit in? open.substack.com/pub/richardc...
