Monotropism Questionnaire

Ausomely Autistic

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.

    same for me. Only excelled in one subject. They gave up, just let me do that one thing, thinking I was slow. I added other scholastic subjects later in life on my own - but doing them one at a time.

    What subject did you excel in?

    I was in the Lahaina Maui fire and I lost everything. House burned with everything in it. I have not been on the forums much since then. I am rudderless.

    oh yes it is a lifeline and a way of communicating and expressing myself. thanks for asking. I also enjoy music (listening)  I am learning to write stories, now. it's a brave new world! I am deliciously terrified, feeling flappy! I want to write Sci Fi. Do you have a focus you feel drawn to?
