From Facebook, via Autistic Women And Nonbinary Network:
-
An infographic series by
Neurodivergent_lou from her Instagram page. This slide series is called “Autism and Sense of Direction”:
I’ll link to their Instagram page in the comments. Their page is a really amazing resource!
[image description:
Series of ten slides by @neurodivergent_lou
The title is “Autism and Sense of Direction”
Image one:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Autism and Sense of Direction”
In the lower right hand corner is a drawing of a map. In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image two:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Like with a lot of things for autistic people, it seems that we largely either have a really strong sense of direction or it is something that we really struggle with. lt seems that we either fit on either side of the extreme for a lot of things (but definitely not alwaysl)”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image three:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Some autistic people describe how they are really good with sense of direction and finding their way as they can distinctly visualise spaces. It is almost like they have a map in built in their head, once they have been somewhere once. Some autistic people, also describe how they are hyperaware of their environment and this makes it easier to remember specific
places and focus on directions.”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image four:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Autistic people sometimes have a tendency to focus on the small details before then focusing on the bigger picture. Focusing on the details can be useful when following directions and remembering routes we have taken before.”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image five:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Some autistic people have particularly good memory too and a natural focus towards logic and problem solving. This as a result makes it easier to get from one place to another. Autistic people also may have a tendency
towards seeking and picking up patterns, which can be useful when following routes.”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image six:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Other autistic people describe how they struggle with holding more than one direction in their head due to issues with executive dysfunction. Executive function is a set of mental skills that include flexible thinking, working memory and self-control.”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image seven:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Similarly, some autistic people also describe how they find it difficult to interpret instructions if they are abstract and not specific enough. Specific instructions help us to know clearly what we need to.”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image eight:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Autistic people are often processing lots of information at once. For example, we may be
processing lots of different sensory inputs or interpreting communication or change in
routine, As a result, it can sometimes be difficult to also process and remember directions on top of this.”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image nine:
Text against a yellow background reads:
“Autistic people may also struggle to imagine the direction in their head. I have heard some non-
autistic people say that they are able to visualise and imagine each direction in their head to help them follow and remember the
direction. Sometimes, autistic people may struggle with this, so it can make following directions difficult.”
In the lower left hand corner is the author / content creator’s name @neurodivergent_lou
Image ten:
Image is a photo of @neurodivergent_lou ‘s Kofi page where readers can choose to donate to their work/ labor.
Text reads:
“if you have learnt something from my account and want to support the work that I do as an autistic
person, feel free to buy me a
coffee. All my supporters also have access to a resource each month. This month's resource is 'an autistic check in'(seen below) Please only support me if you can afford to do so. Everything given is gratefully received!”

Hi everyone,
Since Halloween is coming up, I thought I would share a helpful post put together by the one and only Neurodivergent Lou 🙂
This can be applied to ADHD too since they also experience similar situations.
