hey I want to see something

take this quiz (https://dlcincluded.github.io/MQ/) and then tell me about your score.

  • if you're autistic plus another overlapping type of neurodivergent, choose the autistic option. self diagnoses are valid.
  • choose other neurodivergent if you are neurodivergent but not autistic. again, self diagnoses are valid.

check out the monotropism theory of autism (https://monotropism.org/)

BTW if anyone else is curious about the skew on these bins:

Based on the paper, the average score for an allistic person is 3.03 (sd 0.578) and the average score for an autistic person is 4.07 (sd 0.347). Adding ADHD raises average scores by about 0.56 for allistic people but only by 0.13 for autistic people.

As this is a 47 question quiz scored from 1 to 5, that means:

  • An allistic person can expect to score between 86 and 199
  • Someone with ADHD but not autism can expect to score between 107 and 229
  • An autistic person without ADHD can expect to score between 153 and 230
  • Someone with the double combo has got an expected score between 150 and 235

With all that in mind, it's no wonder that barely anyone scores below 75 - that's unusual even for a neurotypical person! The lowest possible score is a 47. It's also not a surprise that at a cutoff of 135, the autistic population virtually vanishes - that is almost three full standard deviations below the mean, so we only expect to see 0.3% of autistic people there! Same with the cutoff at 200: at 2 standard deviations above the mean, only 5% of allistic+no ADHD people are expected to be there - given that 13.8% of respondents list themselves as neurotypical, 0.8% is almost right on the money (we would expect 0.7%). Meanwhile, 135-200 captures the mean for all three population groups (145 - neither ADHD nor autism; 170 - ADHD; 191 - autism; 197 - autism + ADHD), so it's no surprise that group is winning. As to why more quiz-takers are neurodivergent than not: a) responder bias b) we are on the hyperfixation site.

TLDR: The paper's holding up! Check it out here: https://osf.io/g4kc9

František Kobliha (1877–1962), Untitled

František Kobliha was a Czech painter, graphic artist and artist, representative of the second generation of Czech Symbolism.

"I didn't want to evoke fairy tales, selanka, paradise fairy tales and romantic optimism of sunny moments of old. I was left with a life that was raw, offensive, dangerous, but fulfilling and rewarding".
