I'm Monotropic, Now What?

This score suggests that you are more Monotropic than about 97% of autistic people and about 100% of allistic people based on data from the initial validation study.

A few more points and it will say

I'm Monotropism

Probably, yes. :D

I used to score lower but I‘m trying to find out what of my personality actually is me and what is the shit my parents and other people programmed into me.

Left alone I go full hermit mode, focus on the same stuff all day. It can lead to incredible things but dont dare to interrupt me. ;)

I've been going through a deconstruction journey as well which has been akin to an existential crisis at times. Though I keep having revelations in one state of mind that I lose access to when I'm in another, so that's something to navigate.

Anyhow, good luck in meeting the true haui, I'm sure they're a wonderful person in there.

Thank you so much. I didn’t expect surprise kindness there! :) that put a large smile on my face.

The losing access thing has been bad for me in the past. I‘m somewhat convinced it was trauma related for me. I often switch mental states when triggered and one version cant access memories of the other. Sounds really scary if I put it like this.

Feel free to dm me if you want to talk about it.
