autistic hyperconnectivity
there was neuroimaging that suggested autistic people’s brains don’t prune neuron connections as regularly as non-autistic people, could explain the prevalence of strong pattern recognition, tendency to want to see a full picture in full context, ability to link anything back to a special interest, etc
need to find the source again And see how they categorised autistic and non-autistic people And see how this may apply in other neurodivergencies
but feels true to my experience and colloquially but generally be very wary of autism research
