Can't See The Forest For The Trees (Bottom-Up Thinking)

Pikl

So I've been diving back into researching (one of my special interests) and have gone back to the topic of autism. No real surprise that might be a topic of interest. 

This time I'm exploring specifics, rather than generalised adult related information. 

I've been looking for explanations and information regarding why my head is so noisy, and why I think the way that I do. My recent information gathering informed the title of this thread.

I was wondering who else has thrown themselves into research to help explain their experiences. Has it helped? And have you found gems of information that made greater sense of things for you?

  • I understand how you feel with having a busy brain, people often think because I’m quiet, there is nothing going on. It’s quite the opposite. I’ve become quiet because there is no space on my hard drive for speech. We don’t seem to have a ‘spam’ filter, everything floods in until the brain is overwhelmed.
