From Tapes to Maps

Attention Maps///Mr. A

Mr. A Tapes is now Attention Maps - because I finally understand what I've been doing. Here are three major reasons why, followed by supporting data.

- Daily observations are mapping where my attention goes

- Neurodivergent attention takes in patterns, connections, details in ways others might miss

- My 'autistic experiences' in real time is a map of attention that shapes my reality

These aren't random thoughts. They're maps. The philosopher Simone Weil said attention is 'the rarest and purest form of generosity.' My autism sees differently and she's mapping a better me.

So here's what my attention maps reveal - how I actually see things:

My autism is a detailed perspective that misses big picture data, sometimes. But it is true.

I like to talk wrong like a child and super adult all in one instance.

I've been hurt by colleagues because I can't deny I've been too much. I still love them. I doubt they love me. We both have work to do.

Tenant should be a compound word but technically it isn't.

I like to eat and drive but I dislike driving.

I like complex philosophical theories very much because they are hard to follow, and I like scare prank videos.

My heart is big but my trust threshold is not big.
