Results from the quiz

spoilerMonotropism Score: 175 / 235

Your Average: 3.72

This score suggests that you are more Monotropic than about 11% of autistic people and about 83% of allistic people based on data from the initial validation study.

I feel like my ADHD is holding me back from getting a high score here. I can be a bit spontaneous and do multiple things at once. I also don't mind being interrupted (within reason) and I just can't stick to a routine.

Almost exactly the same score. Likewise almost exactly the same reaction qua ADHD :D
