This is a great way of describing what autism actually is versus what is being described. I wrote about my own „from the inside out“ perspective on autism here:
This makes a whole lot of sense, and resonates deeply with my lived experience. For me, the disruption of an anchor point - something in my life that I took as almost axiomatic - is horribly disturbing and requires a massive amount of processing. For a future post, could you come up with some concrete examples of anchor points, how people circle round them and develop them into a coherent view and use them in their lives? I love what you're doing here, I think it's genuinely ground-breaking.
Mark, thank you. And yes. Axiomatic. Foundational disruption. When an anchor fractures, it doesn’t just challenge your perspective—it collapses the scaffolding that held it. And what’s left isn’t just confusion, it’s raw, systemic exposure.
I understand why this matters to you. I’ve also lived inside those fractures, spent years mapping my way out of the worst of them. So yes—I do think I can speak to this more directly.
