Hello fellow autistic people!
I have just found this brilliant monotropism questionnaire created by Fergus Murray (autistic monotropism expert). It is so much more relatable and meaningful than any other questionnaire related to autistic experience. I have completed it and I scored very highly- 197/235 meaning I am more monotropic than 55% of autistic people and 96% of allistic people. This is a test of how monotropic you are and is part of a wider project about monotropism and autistic people. It is not a questionnaire to identify whether you are autistic or not.

I hope you find this interesting! How did you score on the Monotropism Questionnaire?
189, more monotropic than 36% of autistic and 93% of allistic people.
I could never understand how people at school could get good marks at lots of different subjects. I tended to be top of the top set in subjects I enjoyed, and no better than mediocre, if not abysmal, at subjects that did not interest me.
Neither could I, I enjoyed sixth form education much more than school because I could hyper focus on one or two subjects and specialise.
I think monotropism is also the reason why degree level education appeals to us because it is a chance for us to become specialists in our dedicated interests.
What were your favourite subjects at school?
Biology, physics, art, history and Eng. lit., rather a mixed bag of subjects.
Cool!
Yes, a degree in zoology, then further study and a career working at universities.
Yes they are rather mixed! Did you go to university?
