ALT A scientific graph known as a "raincloud plot". It shows a distribution of non-autistic people's scores on the monotropism questionnaire, in orange. the scores are fairly spread out and the mean score is about 3.2 (the maximum score possible would be five). Some non-autistic people score as low as 2, and a few score above 4. There is also a distribution of autistic people's scores on the same questionnaire, shown in green. The scores are much more tightly packed together. The mean score is about 4.3 with nearly everyone scoring above 3, and some scoring almost the highest possible value. Only about six autistic people score below the non-autistic mean score. This graph shows that autistic people score very highly on the monotropism questionnaire, and this looks like a distinctive characteristic of being autistic.
