I Discovered a New Autistic Trait! (Hypervigilance and Sense of Responsibility)

I think I’ve identified a new autistic trait. It has something to do with rest, burnout, analysis paralysis, monotasking, focus, attention to detail, perfectionism, and it doesn’t yet have a single name. I think once we get it labeled, it will be helpful to a lot of people. The individual components are well known when considered in isolation, but there’s potential for a much bigger impact when they are considered all together. In this video, the working title I have for this phenomenon is responsibility hypervigilance, but let us break it down and comment what you think it should be called.

👋Welcome to Autism From The Inside!!!

If you're autistic or think you or someone you love might be on the autism spectrum, this channel is for you!
I'm Paul Micallef, and I discovered my own autism at age 30.

Yes, I know, I don't look autistic. That's exactly why I started this channel in the first place because if I didn't show you, you would never know.

Autism affects many (if not all!) aspects of our lives, so on this channel, I want to show you what Autism looks like in real people and give you some insight into what's happening for us on the inside. We'll break down myths and misconceptions, discuss how to embrace autism and live well, and share what it's like to be an autistic person.

Join me as I share what I've found along my journey, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.

Make sure to subscribe so you won’t miss my new video every Friday and some bonus content thrown in mid-week too.
