AuDHDer takes the Monotropism test Yo Samdy Sam 2024-05-31 | Monotropism, a cognitive theory explaining autism, suggests that autistic individuals intensely focus on singular interests, leading to deep expertise and unique problem-solving skills while often struggling to shift attention to broader, less engaging tasks.In this video, I take the monotropism test and see if that aligns with my own cognitive style.Take the test with me: sachscenter.com/monotropism-questionnaireOriginal study: osf.io/wpx5gYo Samdy Sam LINKS ✨WORKBOOK "So You Think You're Autistic": mybook.to/thinkyoureautisticMailing list: subscribepage.io/YoSamdySam2Work with me (ND business owners): subscribepage.io/SpicyBusinessBrainsVSLMerch store: samantha-stein-shop.fourthwall.com

Book launch party! Yo Samdy Sam 2022-11-25 | So You Think You’re Autistic (A workbook for the confused person who’s just trying to figure things out) is a workbook aimed at those seeking clarity around their autistic traits.When you first come to the realisation that - gasp! - you might be autistic, it’s a really confusing and lonely time, and there’s not much guidance out there for what to do next.This workbook aims to hold your hand (metaphorically) and prompt you to think about areas of your life which are relevant to an autism diagnosis, talk you through some of the diagnostic criteria in an easy to understand way, help you think about masking, imposter syndrome and how to talk to other people about all this.This book won’t diagnose you. But it will help you gain more clarity around your autistic traits, and leave you better prepared for your assessment (if you choose to pursue one), and develop more understanding and compassion towards yourself.It is available on the following international Amazon marketplaces:US: amazon.com/dp/B0BMHPLXK2UK: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Canada: amazon.ca/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Australia: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Germany: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BMHPLXK2France: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Spain: amazon.es/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Italy: https://www.amazon.it/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Netherlands: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Poland: https://www.amazon.pl/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Sweden: https://www.amazon.se/dp/B0BMHPLXK2Japan: amazon.co.jp/dp/B0BMHPLXK2

Was Beethoven autistic? (ft. the Piano Rogues) Yo Samdy Sam 2020-12-31 | Check out the Piano Rogues talking about Ode to Joy here: youtu.be/4AOR6hgSyn4(Plus our performance!)Was Beethoven autistic? Since we'll never have the definitive answer, I thought I'd take you on a journey, figuring out how we might make a good guess as to whether a historical figure is on the spectrum, and what evidence there is in Beethoven's life that points that way.A big thank you to Piano Rogues for approaching me for this collab, providing extensive research, arranging the piece for my guitar level and being a joy to collab with!
