Hello, neurotypical here.
Those descriptions also explain non-Autists just as well as Autists. I don't understand what's so different about them.

I bounce between up right and down. While medicated for ADHD I sometimes hit the left as well.
Prior to transitioning, my sister was in the strongly auth left section with moody episodes in the auth right.
Inbetween the indifferent and fucking love socializing :P
Now if only I knew how to socialise.
Same. I like to be around a group so I can interject a one liner but not have to hold up half the conversation. Aaaand now I remember doing that and feeling sad when no one listened
Im at all of the extremes
top right unless i'm working, they pay well enough for bottom right.
Halfway between silly autism and leave me the fuck along autism.
Yes
Totally depends on my mood and the circumstances but kind of all of them.
Center silly
The "obsessively fixate on collecting Transformers and video games" quadrant.

Everywhere!
I'm fox hyena creature where do I go
I'm at a quantum state of superposition inside of the blue area.
I think that’s a fox 🦊
Mostly silly, more socializing than not, even though I would be less tired if I realized more quickly that sometimes I need to be alone.
It can be tough to break the social barrier with a group, but if it happens, then socializing becomes much easier.
Moderately "leave me the fuck alone", and usually indifferent but a number of things can swing me into extreme silliness.
I am lower-left quadrant by far. I used to make myself the center of attention, I was cringey, and everyone knew who I was-- whether that made them love me or hate me.
Ah man, why'd you have to make lib left not me :(
Me
Me too
South Eastern Autism ?
We live in the same autism neighborhood! Central southeastern. I need people. Just quiet ones that don't talk too much unless their about to drop a serious info dump.
Top right quadrant - where exactly depends on multiple factors.
Top middle
For each axis: Both extremes and some places in-between. It really depends on the situation and the day. Quite often, I'm on the quiet and indifferent side.
Plus: I had to think of this Donnie Darko movie scene: https://youtu.be/vivEzQUGHOQ. :)
I’m deffo a doggo frr no inbetween >.<
The materialization of the red quadrant is what the internet has come to know as the "resting bitch face"
Isn't the whole point of that term that it does not reflect what is going on in the mind of the person behind the face?
I've got the resting bitch face and sit firmly all the way on the "I love socializing" side. It sucks because people assume I wanna be left alone when in reality I want anyone and everyone to bug me so I have a chance to talk about stupid shit I like.
I kind of get like that too…

left being summer, right being winter
