Interesting. Even if I tone down some "strongly agree" answers to "agree", the score remains stubbornly high. Can't get it below ~4.28 without lying outright.
@quincy@autism101 I think we all need some stability in order to function though, if the world doesn't have predictable rules and some day to day consistency, then surely our brains can't model what might happen next. But that's literally how we function in the world, by taking an input, applying some nervous or neural process to it, and then generating some kind of output based on a combination of innate wiring and past experience.
@quincy@autism101 One interesting thing is that when people are presented with drastic and unexpected change, they will tend to follow routine. That's why they make a big deal of warning you not to take your luggage with you in a plane crash, because unfortunately what tends to happen is we just start doing what we expect to be doing - e.g. we'll start disembarking the plane as if things were perfectly normal. We struggle to change our response that quickly. Unfortunately people often die in accidents for this reason, because we can't handle the switch up that would mean we'd respond more appropriately in time.
@morothar@autism101@actuallyautistic M<y only issue is this — now that I've got my monotropism score, what do I do with it? What does it mean? ... If anything???
