I'm at a quantum state of superposition inside of the blue area.

Hello, neurotypical here.
Those descriptions also explain non-Autists just as well as Autists. I don't understand what's so different about them.
Totally depends on my mood and the circumstances but kind of all of them.
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 they're about to drop a serious info dump.
Top right quadrant - where exactly depends on multiple factors.
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
The "obsessively fixate on collecting Transformers and video games" quadrant.
<3
Center silly
Im at all of the extremes
Ditto. Took me a while to get good at it but once you've gotten solid with the base, it's not difficult to execute, it's an art you've discovered your talents and built your skills to boot.
You don't give a fuck and deliver the joke like this is a stage because you know everyone is looking at you and you've got the right whistle to your dance. The crowd buys your trick and the dollar piles the pit well and practically grow into a hill.
"Unfortunately," you are drinking. Sure, not very much but your carrying soaks the paper from your trip on and over the dollar. Your land fires a torch in your pocket and it's quickly all gone.
You get trad leader status if the vampires trip on you for the burning and you nail every cross they've tricked everyone else cuz it won't be long til the sleepers wake the fuck up or just die in the sense of this place literally being baked by those who haven't questioned the fact that the only reason the leading liars have gotten away with such audacious lying is because the real truth is that they themselves are actually conducting the call itself.
Look, see? It was written on the talisman you call money. Not exactly complicated.
Everywhere!
Yes
I bounce between up right and down. While medicated for ADHD I sometimes hit the left as well.
top right unless i'm working, they pay well enough for bottom right.
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 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 :(
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.
The materialization of the red quadrant is what the internet has come to know as the "resting bitch 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…
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’m deffo a doggo frr no inbetween >.<
Top middle
Moderately "leave me the fuck alone", and usually indifferent but a number of things can swing me into extreme silliness.
Halfway between silly autism and leave me the fuck along autism.
I'm fox hyena creature where do I go
I'm a goat-dog with deer-y antlers, bay-bay!
Prior to transitioning, my sister was in the strongly auth left section with moody episodes in the auth right.
