Hyperneuroplastic body–brain systems behave much like nonlinear dynamic systems, as described in complex systems neuroscience, where neural network dynamics organize around shifting attractor states rather than fixed points of equilibrium. Small changes can produce large effects. Patterns emerge quickly. Stability is achieved through ongoing adjustment rather than rigidity.

Here, I propose a conceptual framework using two metaphoric constructs: the monotropic autolog and the autotrophic monologue. These concepts draw from both emerging research in neurodivergent cognition and lived experiences of autistic individuals, offering language for phenomena often overlooked or mischaracterized in clinical settings.
