ADHD and Monotropism – Monotropism Fergus Murray with Sonny Hallett (2023) Monotropism was formulated as a theory of autism. It tries to explain the experiences and symptoms of autistic people in terms of a tendency to use resources such as focusing on very few things at a time, with little left for everything else. It is through this lens that we can understand the differences in autistic social, sensory, and executive functioning, as explained in monotropism. As time has gone on, it has become clear that many people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) also identify strongly with many aspects of monotropism.
