    It’s interesting that there is no option for “I don’t have an inner monologue”. I have one, a loud one, which is saying the things I’m typing right now, but I know this is not universal and some people are completely without.

      I used to have one, but now I have a soundtrack. Mine's currently playing All I Need by Radiohead as I type this. I'm not sure what happened, or where my internal monologue went. It just... stopped one day. Not sure why, either, while I'm at it. I don't even remember when it went away.

      Yeah, there were a few questions without answers I agreed with but in those I just picked one. I also got neither which may explain the technique.

      I don't know if I have an inner monologue. I don't notice it when I am not thinking about it, and when I am, all I can think about is if I'm currently thinking in words, which of course, is accomplished with words.

    40% German, 60% autistic. I'm inordinately pleased that they add up to 100%

    lol that was fun, I got 36% Autistic and 36% German. Thus neither, and therefore part of the control group.

    I also find this a little funny as my sibling is autistic, and we’re not German, but we are Midwestern (USA)…and my great grandparents on at least one side did come over from Germany (but I would not consider myself German as I was raised with very few cultural connections to Germany).

    Ich bin 44% deutsch und 38% autistisch. "Probably not autistic. Probably." Also: Hell yeah.

    Also:

    You are difficult to work with in the ways all serious people are difficult to work with. This is not a diagnosis. It is a compliment.

    Hell yeah.

    Ja, das ist richtig.

    I took the German or Autistic diagnostic. Result: Both. The Wittgenstein Result. I don't know whether to be proud or concerned.

    Ja, das ist richtig.
