The inability to hyper-fixate on a subject, task, idea, project, person, place, word, phrase, method of communication, gesture, collection, or on rabbit-holing itself can be overwhelming to a person <em>suffering from<\/em> neurotypicalism. However, to better avoid the challenges of being typical, it is required, at least occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>One strategy is to explain to <em>your <\/em>neurotypical friend, family member, or stranger, that rabbit-holing is what has given them most of what they value in this world. To not rabbit-hole is selfish, as it puts pressure on others to do all the rabbit-holing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>For the more social neurotypicals (some can be!), rabbit-holing on more social activities can be a way to introduce this skill. Nonetheless, you must tell your neurotypical to not expect all rabbit-holing to include socializing. Some rabbit-holing must be done in private. It\u2019s not socially acceptable to do all activities with others, and they probably have learned this the hard way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, be patient with <em>your<\/em> neurotypical, especially children. They have an innate desire to bond with others through meaningless activities. It is not correct to punish them for having brains that are typical. It\u2019s not a disease! There is nothing wrong with them! Even some of the more annoying characteristics of neurotypicalsm, including \u201csmall talk,\u201d are hard-wired into their brains. You must, therefore, alter your behaviors and thoughts towards them, treating them with the kindness and respect they deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rabbit-holing is a skill that neurotypicals typically lack.
