Latest / The Autistic Mile / How Autism Can Affect Impulse/Inhibition
Transcript
- Jim Gaffney: inhibitory control can be difficult because there are things, especially autistic people, there's things that we would want to say in certain situations that we know we shouldn't. And a lot of people understand there are things they wanna say, but they shouldn't. So, I'm not just talking about autistic individuals, but I think the fact that most people their inhibitory control, if they want to say something they don't, it doesn't stress them. They just go "eh", you know what, it's not worth it. and for me it's not so bad if it's just something isolated, but if it's a series of events, something I'm out in public where I'm constantly being bombarded by things that I would normally want to say something to somebody about what they're doing, how they're doing it, that kind of sits with me and it kinda stresses me out quite a bit, especially in public settings and stores.
