This study will explore neurodivergent (ND) and predominant neurotype (PNT) peoples’ experiences of selective attention in everyday life. There is a considerable body of work using methods from cognitive sciences which have highlighted differences in how autistic people (e.g. Christ et al, 2007; O'Riordan et al, 2001) and people with ADHD (Broedeur et al, 2001; Tsal, Shalev & Mevorach, 2005) selectively attend to stimuli in comparison with those in the PNT. Although these studies have been valuable in characterising aspects of selective attention in neurodivergent samples, they have tended to use tightly controlled experimental paradigms developed for the PNT in order to identify deviations from predominant performance. To date, there is little to no formal research looking at neurodivergent selective attention as experienced in everyday life. In the present study we will use a mixed-methods survey asking autistic adults, adults with ADHD and PNT adults about their experiences of distraction and focus. This study will allow us to capture a profile of selective attention for autistics, people with ADHD and the predominant neurotype. This will help us to understand the commonalities and differences in attention between neurotypes. Importantly, this study will shed light on the experiences of selective attention in daily life, working within a neurodiversity paradigm considering the positive aspects as well as the negative. We expect that this more nuanced understanding of selective attention can help to tailor environmental changes to support the challenges and harness the strengths associated with neurodivergent selective attention. |
