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.
@cynaq@actuallyautistic I’ve been diagnosed for years now & this is my 1st time coming across the term #monotropism / #monotropic
(which is always so exciting to me I love learning new #actuallyautistic#audhd stuff😄)
This one really hits home for me bc I thoroughly do not understand the concept of not being actively interested in a task/topic, but also not being bothered/drained by it. I can’t believe that’s a real thing people experience🤪
But I guess this explains that hahaha
