For some reason you utterly disappeared from my FYP. Hoping commenting brings you back and really glad you're still doing what you do

Auri :
Also perceived mental rigidity could just be different understanding of the world (and boundaries) based on bottom up thinking rather than social norms.

i wonder also if this is partly related to a disinterest in inherently following hierarchies, rather a preference to follow good/helpful information. like not listening to your boss's illogical idea that you can see the flaws just bc they're your boss

I think they are inflexible if they’re not prepared, no? It’s the lack of preparation and understanding.

yea the transitions are really hard and change makes me anxious..I wouldn't say I'm totally inflexible but I also have adhd, I think those without adhd probably would be more inflexible

I’m glad this is being discussed. Rigidity in my schedule is my coping strategy.

To have a monotropic neurologic mind and be constantly pushed to operate in a neurotypical pattern that makes them have to force themselves changing tasks, creates trauma! A monotropic split happens and it wears the system down ,creates trauma and what SEEMS like more rigidity when in fact the traits become "worse" from a NT perspective, but its really a autistic trauma response created from the split - and this is physical ,secondary psychological

i been saying neurotypicala are the rigid ones! i identify the "free will" memes with my autistic & disabled perspective, like i see that some rules/institutions CAN be questioned/changed, but NT just sees resistance to authority/stubbornness

Very helpful. I've always said that I transition slowly from one activity to another. Now it makes sense

i love how you can articulate things that are so hard to put in words. this really resonates with me. like, I understand how I seem inflexible to them, but they don't see how flexible I've had to be just to be there.

I always thought this was backwards. Like, sure, ‘inflexible,’ but only from the perspective of a neurotypical. In that specific interaction. After being constantly ‘flexible,’ even when completely alone. The inaccuracy is so frustrating- and shows the book is written primarily from and for the analysis of a neurotypical.

This is an excellent take and further explains why I never thought of AuDHD (predominantly autistic) as a diagnosis in me- being female, HSP likely, and high masking-all of those states require acrobatic levels of flexibility- and there is no question- with the benefit of hindsight that that is what o was doing. And the more rigid “inflexible “ behaviours were things I would do routinely in my medical practice as a safety measure. Also shout out to the DSM for being so ironically rigid and can we light a candle for the fact that DSM 5 was published nearly 13 years ago?? In terms of research/cultural shifts etc I put forward that no more than 5 years should be the maximum time between editions….

I don’t think I’m inflexible- but my flexibility requires communication and a resetting of the system so I can get my bearings

Autistic people have to practically live like Gumby in order to accommodate the Neurotypical world. I would say that once they find something that works, they wanna stick with it because they are so overwhelmed.
