Did you know that neurotypical folks just can not think about anything for a period of time? Yeah, me neither.

#Autism and #ADHD lead to less synaptic pruning which results in a higher density of synaptic connections. This leads to brain hyperconnectivity, which is the cause of sensory overload and reduced filtering of irrelevant stimuli. It is as well a reason for difficulties with executive functions.

I wish I sometimes just could NOT think.

@jascha my quiet times resulted in me learning how we have seedless grapes, why wombat poop is square and what the difference between a two toed sloth and a three toed sloth. And so much more useless information.
