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?

  • Well yes suppose I have researched extensively: Bios, textbooks, research papers, books on specific-traits, books on specific-sex, historic, comoribities, raw data, CBT, TonyAttwood’s works.

    Though I’ve read and reread that stuff over a year, so it’s hard to recall in bulk, I mainly just use it to inform my own-experiences.
    It has helped me to be able to hold this hill, that to I’ve chosen to die on, from the assumptions and rhetoric of the neurotypicals..:D
