So we also know that neurodivergent people

have differences in something called interception, which is the inner sense of what's happening in the body.

So if you combine difficulties working out what's going on inside the body and difficulties

recognizing or describing or distinguishing emotions in a body type that maybe because of hypermobility and variant connective tissue is primed for fear and you know we did these brain imaging studies you know showing differences in parts of the brain that are involved in fear processing and because you're neurodivergent and maybe adhd you're not able to put the brakes on

In the same way, this is a recipe, potentially, for feeling awful.

Oh, yeah, I am sure.

And that's what in the paper with the interviews of people talking about their rejection sensitivity, that is precisely what they said is that it can lead to social withdrawal.

or only socializing with other people who understand the phenomenon.

Yes, and that can lead to loneliness and a sense, a lack of connection.

My colleague at Brighton Sussex Medical School, Lisa Quatt, who is also on the rejection sensitivity paper and is, you know, she and I work very closely together.

She did this really quite groundbreaking study in autism where people assume that

autistic people, you know, don't want friends or can't socialize.

And she showed that actually autistic people experience a lot of loneliness.

And fundamentally, we do want connection, but it's about being able to regulate that.

So that's sort of myth busting about loneliness.

But I think

rejection, or emotion dysregulation, which is a really massive feature in ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions, but it's just not in the diagnostic criteria.

I mean, they are impulsivity, hyperactivity, inattention, but the things that people, especially adults, complain about or say, you know, I really wish could be changed is...

is the motion regulation problems.

But I also think that they are potentially amenable to intervention.
