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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

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

Halfway between silly autism and leave me the fuck along autism.

Totally depends on my mood and the circumstances but kind of all of them.

I would say I am right about here.

Why can't I embed pictures on mobile?

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Moderately "leave me the fuck alone", and usually indifferent but a number of things can swing me into extreme silliness.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Ah man, why'd you have to make lib left not me :(

South Eastern Autism ?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Yeeeey I'm a majestic deer... don't touch me!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Top right quadrant - where exactly depends on multiple factors.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I kind of get like that too…

Depends what side of the bed I woke up on

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

For the sake of argument, let's say the bottom side at 6:12am.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hmm, right about there for me…
