Detail oriented? Big picture thinker? Both?
from Meet My Autistic Brain · host The Autistic Woman™
The ability to see the “big picture” is called central coherence. One study (1980’s) said that autistic people have weak central coherence and only see details. Recent research suggests this isn’t so — that autistic people may be good at both seeing details and seeing the big picture.2021 Study: Weak Central Coherence – Construct conception, development, research methods https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35472233/Share this podcast with your friends and family so they can learn what it’s like to be autistic.Support the showRATED IN THE TOP 0.5% GLOBALLY with more than 1.2 million downloads!If you are an autistic person who has written a book about autism or if you have a guest suggestion email me at [email protected], PayPal, PatreonLinktreeEmail: [email protected] 24-28, 2026 In Rewilding Together
