The closing keynote is by @ferrous, on monotropism and wellbeing

(Background on monotropism: https://monotropism.org)

Monotropism is basically a tendency to have tightly focused attention/interest at any given time, and is a leading theory of Autism, explaining more of the standard Autistic traits without assuming deficits than most mainstream theories

Across studies, important factors influencing wellbeing in Autistic adults:

• Perceived stress
• Social support
• Employment
• Age of diagnosis

e.g., Atherton et al., 2021; Mason et al.,
2018; McQuaid et al., 2022)
