Skill Regression Following Autism Diagnosis

A neuroscientist details why adults who receive an Autism or ADHD diagnosis and begin unmasking or receiving medication report skill regression. The gist is that we learn skills within a context. If that context is one where we are masking, when we start letting our mask drop, we lose the context, and have difficulty accessing the skill. The same goes for memories.

Advent 2023: FocusMe
Like a lot of folks, I struggle with executive dysfunction, and it gets exacerbated when I'm hungry or tired. When I was younger, back in the bad-old-days of dial-up and slow internet, my goto activity at those times was to read; I'd read easily a book a week (except when I was reading Dumas; those took forever). Now with a phone in my pocket and the internet always there, I find myself going through social media or browsing news, and I find I'm the poorer for it.
However, when executive dysfunction kicks in, it's hard to choose to do something else. Recently, I took a page from my son, and started looking into ways I could game myself into better choices.
