A spiral resides in a womb-like hole in the earth. Along the border of the hole is text that reads: Monotropic hyper focus and flow states can be a way to recharge and regulate. Sometimes it can, however, be hard to leave this place and this can mean I might not be aware of my other needs outside of this attention tunnel. I can get stuck.

About Viv Dawes

I am late identified AuDHD with a PDA profile. I am a lived experience author, trainer and consultant and originally trained as an artist in the 1980s. As well as my work as an author and trainer I am a keen photographer.

Thinking about how deep attention tunnels can be like a wormhole or a womb that we can become lost in. This is both a blessing and a curse. Not being able to enter the warmth of a womb and getting lost in something (a passion, interest, cause) can be utterly terrifying but equally we can become stuck there- the idea of leaving it is equally awful.
