I get it-as an Audhder myself I am in deep monotropic states whenever I do research for example.
What comes to mind is growing up in the 80s: my parents being undiagnosed Audhders, both.
>If we only new😢<
My dad passed 23. All my childhood I dreaded “fetching dad” for dinner… he was in his happy place on sundays: playing guitar in the bedroom where he built himself a little studio.
And every time he was ripped out of his flow and monotropic state as an Audhder he was so GrUmPy . I was scared all the time.

His needs where very seldom met. 🥺
I feel so sorry for him.
He died of alcohol abuse in his late sixties. 🙁
