I've been masking and compensating for so long that I often feel that my answers don't fully reflect my autism. I'm also incredibly particular about the wording of questions. In many cases a single word changed would dramatically change my answer even though I suspect most allistic people would consider them to be the same question.

Monotropism Score: 168 / 235

Your Average: 3.57

This score suggests that you are more Monotropic than about 5% of autistic people and about 75% of allistic people based on data from the initial validation study.
