Thanks for sharing! I believe I’ve come across the term monotropism before, but I forgot about it. I really identify with the concept, so it’s nice to have another term that describes my experiences. I completed the study questionnaire in less than 20 minutes. Not bad, considering that I was trying to “multitask” as I did it 😂
Oh my... I was diagnosed in my late 30's with ADHD, but I just took the attached test and fell smack in 50% percentile of those with autism and more monotropic than 97% of allistic people. What the heck does that mean? I just thought that it was my ADHD that caused all of my struggles.
I found out about monotropism through this Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mBbOOzhoGQ and I was like: wow.... Yeah thats my brain. Thank you so much for sharing. And I am really happy that this is a survey considering us self-identified autistics as well 🥰
I want to read your 2021 article on ADHD and autism being similar and share it with a friend but it's paywalled, is there another way to view it? (Apologies if this is a revenue source for you and I'm being rude.)

Thanks, survey completed. I had no idea I worked this way until recently.

(This link - https://jessemeadows.medium.com/whats-the-difference-between-adhd-and-autism-fcdea6b3973d - it made me make an account but then it still says I have to pay for medium premium to read it.)
oh my bad, I should have used the friend link thing that gets around mediums paywall: https://jessemeadows.medium.com/whats-the-difference-between-adhd-and-autism-fcdea6b3973d?sk=6b1347b117cbdaa17452c4a6353b2b6c
does that work?
Yep, thank you!
