I just did that test.

I went in blind and didn't think I'd score too high because as far as I understand what monotropism proposes, I didn't think it fit my profile very well. I tried to answer the questions as accurately as I could, without overthinking.

Well...

The result says I'm more monotropic than 73% of autistic people and 98% of allistic people.

I guess I was misunderstanding what monotropism would feel like, if these results are anywhere near accurate, because I'm quite surprised, to say the least.

Would anyone else like to chime in and discuss this with me a bit? This result was not at all what I was expecting.

I think that perhaps monotropism is the opposite of 'multitasking'? And we now know that (all) humans are pretty bad at multitasking, so maybe it's a measure of how much more rational are? 😃

Alexithymia is a significant part of the Autistic experience, and it has huge knock on effects for our mental health and wellbeing.

I hope other find the following statement validating and righteous-anger-inducing rather than invalidating because it's meant to be the former:

The that our society heaps upon autists is the cause of autistic alexithymia, and we really need to talk more about how "normal" people psychologically fuck us.
