Monotropism

Monotropsim and polytropism are different strategies in distributing attention in the brain. Monotropism refers to an attention-tunnel (undevided attention or attention-tunnel), while polytropism refers to multiple divided attention in the brain.

The Monotropism hypothesis regards attention-tunnels as the central feature of autism.
