Abstract

This chapter aims to give an informal, naturalistic account of minds and meanings, based on a slightly expanded commonplace concept of interest. It is an account of humanity that accommodates a wide range including monotropic – single-attention – focused autistic dispositions which tend to give, atypically, much processing resource or attention to their leading current of interest and little or nothing to extraneous stimuli. Keywords: monotropism, language, action
