This is how I found out I have ADHD. Someone retweeted the standard questions for one of the diagnosis methods, and I was bored enough to treat it like one of those random personality tests. Posted it and my results in our friend group's discord for everyone else to have fun with, in a "haha, look! Even I got ~90%! This diagnosis stuff is so bad!" kind of way. ... turns out the only one who got a score in the same ballpark was the guy who had been diagnosed with AHDH as a kid. That made me think. And over the next months I went down the rabbit hole of "wait, this experience I have is not universal?!" until I finally got an official diagnosis. (Well, my second one. Apparently I had already been diagnosed as a kid, but no one took it seriously because "Nooo, he's such a quiet child! There's no way he could have ADHD!"... Instead my hyperfocus happened to align with topics people associate with "being smart", so I got the label of "gifted" - along with all the added pressure that comes with it...) Best thing that ever happened to me. It _did_ kick me into a major depressive phase for some 2 years (which absolutely sucked), but I came out the other end feeling better about myself and my life than I ever remember being. Between the meds and actually understanding why my brain works the way that it does I can actually function in a way that works best for me. It's still an ongoing process, but I'm glad I did that test 4 years ago...
I feel like the “wait, this experience isn’t universal?” thing is often even more important than a diagnosis. Just coming to a better understanding of what and who you are, regardless of what it’s called, is extremely helpful.
Online tests like this are obviously not a diagnosis, but can be useful as a starting point. Also many of the questions on this can be indicators of other things.

Super autist here (153, plus real diagnosis), I saw this one from lightyears away LMAO. I guess you could say it was revealed to me by a ghost. First it was the germaphobia, then the collections, then the physical contact, the list goes on (evidently).
The difference is if you have to tell yourself to do it. Actors code switch all the time because it is inherent to the job... but if you as a non actor did the same thing it would be weird. If you have to calm yourself down and tell yourself to act a certain way prior to the engagement, then you are compartimentalizing all the ways you shouldn't behave because you know that the way you normally behave isn't acceptable to the occasion. This is one of the things you often see dramaticized sitcoms where the actor has inner monolgue in party settings where they say things like "don't mention anything about ____" or "remember not to bring up ____" when the ____ is something they are highly fascinated in or they know people in general don't care about.
I love the streamers taking the autism test, because it's just a series of people finding out that the things they thought were normal are all signs of autism.
In a way it's honestly better to be ignorant, because it usually means that you're more confident about your weirdness.

Pretty sure those "when I was younger" bits with trying to work with people now, is called masking. The stress is likely still there, you just getting better at convincing others that your "normal".

I've heard that adapting your speech to the way the other person you're around talks is us subconsciously trying to get closer to them by making them feel more comfortable because you'll sound more like them which will put them at ease.
She seemed to respond particularly strongly to questions that describe so-called "masking", i.e. behaviours some autistic people adapt to appear more "normal". I hear that masking is more common among female autistic people because typical autistic behaviours are considered less socially acceptable for them than for male people.
Omg, when you put it that way it really explains some things. Like when she said "you have to be a people pleaser because that's just the way the world works" or "I'm going to talk just so that it's not awkward being in silence". That's kind of like the opposite of what I feel like as an autistic person. But that's because I just don't mask at all, I'm perfectly fine not being part of a group, I am usually happier by myself anyways. I only really interact with people who have similar interests, except for the situations where I'm obviously forced to socialize, and during those scenarios I am always visibly stressed and annoyed. I'm not the type of person who would "just say anything to break the silence". But yeah, when you put it within the context of masking, it really makes a lot of sense. I tend to forget that women have certain extremely subtle societal expectations, apart from the obvious ones. Like as a guy you're generally allowed to be quiet and unresponsive as long as you get your job done, but with girls there's a lot more pressure to communicate and be emotionally open. So what to me may seem as forced masking, to her it might just be what's necessary to simply function in society.
7:43 and 11:55 man, I remember when the cleaning tags in any clothing had to be cut off because they itched on my skin A LOT. nowadays thankfully I am less sensitive so I can wear clothes. But I am still VERY particular with how they feel. my mother is always complaining about me walking around with old clothes, or clothes from before my diet that feel too big, no matter how much I tell her that they just feel too good to throw them away. 18:58 and 31:00 damn, I remember that when young my school gave the students books with a rough-ish cover and... well, I never heard the sound of nails on chalkboard, but from reactions in cartoons I imagine it would be what I felt whenever I heard people's nails touching those book covers. I didn't just hurt the ears, but right in the brain! 19:21 only through the magic of hindsight and re-reading old chatlogs I could see how many times my ex-gf flirted with me and I never noticed until she outright said she liked me. 22:25 here in brazil (or at least in the division between the states of rio and minas) we have something like that, we do call them vans even if they are not always using actual vans. They are kinda... parallel bus line, but cheaper and also smaller than buses. Many times there is no bus at the time but you need to go? A van is ther for you. 26:25 "sometimes" implies it is not all the time. I many time type things in discord and the like just to erase them later, I just NEED to have it written if you are reasing this comment, gues what made me type all this But Michi... doing this is literally your job now?
@@deathandrebirth-y8x A lot of the Eviltoaster vids are hours long because of how big the document is. This was the shortest vid I could find: /watch?v=ysHPygUMBGA
Toaster is slowly testing all the Vshojo members Also, was surprised this test had nothing regarding being able to hear electricity. So annoying having to unplug things before bed time.
Wait, I understand the electricity thing. They're buzzing, whining and sometimes chirping, right? You're hearing the "coil whine" that happens when a coil in an electronic device is slightly loose and when operating (with most modern equipment it'll be very high frequencies) it vibrates at a frequency you can hear. In extreme cases it can be very loud and easy to hear (there's some videos of that happening to PCs and GPUs), but in most cases daily noises drown it out. It can be a sign of aging hardware (like glue on transformers giving out due to age and heat), poor quality hardware or in case of mains power also problems with the grid itself (like frequency or voltage out of specification).
Consider yourself lucky. While autism may seem like a funny quirky thing, it really isn't. I wouldn't take it away though, It's the reason I enjoy the types of things I do. I just wish the world was more accepting of it. How well you do really boils down to how well you can socialize. A lot of autists just mask, and that works for them. But a lot don't mask, and life tends to be pretty lonely for people like that, I speak from experience. I know it sounds kind of sociopathic, of course people won't care about you if you don't talk to them. I just...wish it wasn't something that's forced on you.
@@qwertydavid8070agreed Being autistic sucks ass So many things normal people can do that i look at and am like “how the f can y’all deal with this shit”
I feel called out by that ring thing; I do the exact same thing n even have a ring that spins so it won't chaff my finger. Iunno if I have autism but I do have OCD.
The factoid about perfect pitch, I think isn't true. I have perfect pitch but no musical education, and so I can't do most of the things other people with perfect pitch can, such as name a note - but simply because I don't know the names. I know they're letters, obviously, but not really more than that. I don't understand what keys are. I think what's really going on is that studies into perfect pitch are only done on musical communities, and testing is only done in ways that require musical education to pass, so there's a measurement bias going on. Reading on wikipedia, it's pretty easy to see the effect of this bias, but if you go down to the neurology part it's clear that the current theory isn't actually predicated on education. My description of perfect pitch: Perfect pitch just means you don't hear notes relative to each-other but more the absolute value of the pitch (hence the other name, absolute pitch) - it's not about being perfect or being able to exactly understand a note, it's about if you hear a note in relation to other notes or not. It's kind of like with light, we see colours mostly in an absolute way (you'd never be confused if something is red or blue) but brightness in a relative way (you know those visual illusions where there's a shadow on a chess board and there's actually only three colours, not the four we think we see?). Sometimes you need to compare two colours to know if they are the same or not, sometimes you just know. For music, it instead just depends on how your brain interprets the signals.
This is am interesting comment, but i have a correction. > we see colours mostly in an absolute way (you'd never be confused if something is red or blue) cue the dress debate. Elaboration - the way you can recognise colors in, say, blue light, is due to their relation to eachother, their absolute values would hang around the blues and greys; you can 100% mix up blue with red in certain contexts. I guess the trained "absolute vision" would be... the ability to recognise the red and green rays in yellow and the distinctions between similar colors without directly comparing them?
I can't tell which aged worse. Eviltoaster's obsession with self diagnosing autism tests or all the older comments here thinking it all fine and dandy.
Not just another person, but a close friend. At least for me, I (officially diagnosed as a teen) started noticing similarities between my behavior and my friend’s at different times. I said to him “have you ever thought you might be autistic?” He said no, but was curious, so I sent him a few tests to try when he had time. Sure enough, I was right. 😁
Slimy foods I can never stand. Stuff like wet slippery onions, or worst of all TOMATOES!!!! WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE AND TOMATOES????? THEY DON'T EVEN ADD ANY FLAVOR IT'S JUST DISGUSTING SLIMY SKIN UGH
Also, I will never understand why people cook or boil vegetables. Wet vegetables are absolutely disgusting. It feels like I'm eating live worms, like something is squirming and wriggling around in my mouth, it's horrifying. Crunchy raw vegetables are actually delicious, I will happily take a bite out of a raw onion. But those little stringy wet cooked onion strips that people love to add on everything, that is an afront against God.
serious answer, it's because vtubing is basically perfect for neurodivergents. A digital mask you can control perfectly + rewards for being authentically weird?
It's the perfect job for neurodivergent ppl. Wear whatever you want to work, don't have to show your face, you can look however you want, & ppl listen to you ramble about things you like b/c they WANT to & not b/c they feel socially obligated to. It's the autistic dream
One thing people arent told about these types of tests is that how you justify your answers is also part of the test. So doing this test with someone else really helps solidify just what kind of neurodivergency you have.
7:43 I was the same way until I learned to love and lean into my weirdness. Normal is boring, us freaks make the world more interesting. And I say freak as a badge honor.
21:30 there's a thing called Aphantasia. It's a term for people who can't visualize anything in their head. They can think only of the concepts of things. Usually they can still see dreams and stuff, but when actively thinking, there's no visual feedback.
Damn i got a 183 i know im autistic (just not diagnosed) i hate ppl i hate loud noises i hate a lot of textures on clothes and food i hate water unless its mixed with something (i got arfid) so i refuse to eat and socialize with ppl the only people i talk to is 2 members of my family and a friend i rarely ever see but i also got adhd
IIRC the site says nobody not autistic scored high, but not all autistics score high. I scored 145, a friend of mine scored around 100, and another friend around 70. The site mentions some autistics scoring around 30, but the average is 130. Anyway, I'm the only one of us three that has been officially diagnosed as autistic. The other two have opted not to pursue further info on the subject for themselves.
These tests aren't super accurate, that's what professionals are for. But also, I scored a 153 which is somewhat accurate for my autistic ass, so just take it with a grain of salt I guess.
Damn, I did the test too and I scored 119 (9 language, 58 social relatedness, 26 sensory/motor and 26 circumscribed interests). People used to call me autistic in high school, but I didn't know it was this bad :c
I scored 123. Not that surprised, as I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (now part of Autism Spectrum Disorder as part of DSM-5) around 2001. I've gotten better at reading social cues, but I do still have some habitual quirks.
Maybe that's a bit of a stretch? I mean, I am extremely horny behind closed doors, but if you were to ask the people that know me they might think I had some sort of hormonal defect lol. I just repress a lot of stuff, and I barely share with other people. I had a crush on this girl in highschool for five years, and when I finally told my friends they were like "WHAT???? U LIKE SOMEONE????"
@qwertydavid8070 as an ace person: it's just about lack of sexual attraction, not sex drive (I have one) and romantic attraction is unrelated to sexual attraction. I'm also mostly basing this off of her comments about what she cares about in a relationship (wanting the emotional intimacy, and not caring about the sexual) and her stated lack of intrest in porn in the video where she talks about melodies other stream and trying to get her coworkers vibes.
Shes either ace or demisexual bc it seems she doesnt like any form of intimacy unless she trusts them using her standard like the germ thing and hugging but that could be trauma from her childhood im just speculating bc im similar when it comes to intimacy i need to trust them i need to know them or i can treat it like a job and service someone but no all the way

I got a 183 fuck yeah high score i think what gave it away was my antisocialness but tbf i have arfid so i cant just eat with ppl and tbh i dont like ppl bc the ultimate pattern i have recognized people who dont like you will project their own insecurities on to you and if they are in the wrong they deny deny deny and stick to their guns even if they know they are wrong the only time i enjoyed socializing was when i was in school but i was known as the weirdo and a freak
There is one question I couldn't answer for myself "can you tell if someone is flirting with you" No one has ever flirted with me so no way to answer it 😂
All fun and games until I track down the test before she didnit and scored 150...apparently, I should be getting myself checked out for both ADHD and autism now... The things I'm starting to realize on accident in my 30's, I swear...more things to add to the pile of "when I get around to it" lol.
I love that she never elaborated further on the collection of teeth.
Probably why her forward was "Dont Judge Me" 😹
And like Fillian, Did we really need the Test? 😏
In school she was asked what she wanted to do when she grew up, she said headhunter, but compromised for a more legal and lazy approach
She literally went "It's fine, they're not MY teeth."
"When I was like 14, I went to a dentist and got my first random wisdom teeth"
Oh okay, I could maybe see that happening-
"It's not mine, it's just some random person's wisdom teeth, and I kept it"

Like as a guy you're generally allowed to be quiet and unresponsive as long as you get your job done, but with girls there's a lot more pressure to communicate and be emotionally open.
So what to me may seem as forced masking, to her it might just be what's necessary to simply function in society.
It's crazy how much she did a complete 180 on questions when she was asked to explain or think about it.
7:43 and 11:55 man, I remember when the cleaning tags in any clothing had to be cut off because they itched on my skin A LOT.
nowadays thankfully I am less sensitive so I can wear clothes. But I am still VERY particular with how they feel. my mother is always complaining about me walking around with old clothes, or clothes from before my diet that feel too big, no matter how much I tell her that they just feel too good to throw them away.
18:58 and 31:00 damn, I remember that when young my school gave the students books with a rough-ish cover and... well, I never heard the sound of nails on chalkboard, but from reactions in cartoons I imagine it would be what I felt whenever I heard people's nails touching those book covers. I didn't just hurt the ears, but right in the brain!
19:21 only through the magic of hindsight and re-reading old chatlogs I could see how many times my ex-gf flirted with me and I never noticed until she outright said she liked me.
22:25 here in brazil (or at least in the division between the states of rio and minas) we have something like that, we do call them vans even if they are not always using actual vans. They are kinda... parallel bus line, but cheaper and also smaller than buses. Many times there is no bus at the time but you need to go? A van is ther for you.
26:25 "sometimes" implies it is not all the time. I many time type things in discord and the like just to erase them later, I just NEED to have it written
if you are reasing this comment, gues what made me type all this
But Michi... doing this is literally your job now?
HOLY SHIT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE CLEANING TAGS THING?????????
Man this aged like fine milk
Welcome to the club minimochivee
Next you'll be telling me that she's color blind
i understood that reference
This aged like milk
Why? What happened
@@kyrogamingvt9716 A lot of stuff came out regarding Eviltoaster, the guy getting Michi to take the autism test to see if she's 'hot'
@@quantumtwinspark283 is there a video that goes into detail?
@@deathandrebirth-y8x A lot of the Eviltoaster vids are hours long because of how big the document is. This was the shortest vid I could find: /watch?v=ysHPygUMBGA
Toaster is slowly testing all the Vshojo members
Also, was surprised this test had nothing regarding being able to hear electricity. So annoying having to unplug things before bed time.
Why are you letting out the secret that artists are electropathic? We can't let people know how we'll survive the AI revolt.
bro is living in the serial experiments lain universe
Wait, I understand the electricity thing. They're buzzing, whining and sometimes chirping, right?
You're hearing the "coil whine" that happens when a coil in an electronic device is slightly loose and when operating (with most modern equipment it'll be very high frequencies) it vibrates at a frequency you can hear. In extreme cases it can be very loud and easy to hear (there's some videos of that happening to PCs and GPUs), but in most cases daily noises drown it out.
It can be a sign of aging hardware (like glue on transformers giving out due to age and heat), poor quality hardware or in case of mains power also problems with the grid itself (like frequency or voltage out of specification).
Good Lord...💀
Huh...... This aged like milk.
38:03 That "Eh, no deng."
😭
27:07 BRO I didnt think anyone else had this!
The second she got to the food texture question I knew she was one of my people.
Man I'm so happy she's "back". I missed this dork so much.
One of us, one of us!
I scored a 7 on this test. The world would be pretty boring if everyone was the same way.
Consider yourself lucky. While autism may seem like a funny quirky thing, it really isn't. I wouldn't take it away though, It's the reason I enjoy the types of things I do. I just wish the world was more accepting of it. How well you do really boils down to how well you can socialize. A lot of autists just mask, and that works for them. But a lot don't mask, and life tends to be pretty lonely for people like that, I speak from experience.
I know it sounds kind of sociopathic, of course people won't care about you if you don't talk to them. I just...wish it wasn't something that's forced on you.
@@qwertydavid8070agreed
Being autistic sucks ass
So many things normal people can do that i look at and am like “how the f can y’all deal with this shit”
I feel called out by that ring thing; I do the exact same thing n even have a ring that spins so it won't chaff my finger. Iunno if I have autism but I do have OCD.
Watching this makes me realize that I may be a hot person too 😂
That feel when you have Autism and IMMEDIATELY know from her answers that she does too... if you somehow didn't already know that from watching her.
This did not age well
The factoid about perfect pitch, I think isn't true. I have perfect pitch but no musical education, and so I can't do most of the things other people with perfect pitch can, such as name a note - but simply because I don't know the names. I know they're letters, obviously, but not really more than that. I don't understand what keys are. I think what's really going on is that studies into perfect pitch are only done on musical communities, and testing is only done in ways that require musical education to pass, so there's a measurement bias going on. Reading on wikipedia, it's pretty easy to see the effect of this bias, but if you go down to the neurology part it's clear that the current theory isn't actually predicated on education.
My description of perfect pitch:
Perfect pitch just means you don't hear notes relative to each-other but more the absolute value of the pitch (hence the other name, absolute pitch) - it's not about being perfect or being able to exactly understand a note, it's about if you hear a note in relation to other notes or not. It's kind of like with light, we see colours mostly in an absolute way (you'd never be confused if something is red or blue) but brightness in a relative way (you know those visual illusions where there's a shadow on a chess board and there's actually only three colours, not the four we think we see?). Sometimes you need to compare two colours to know if they are the same or not, sometimes you just know. For music, it instead just depends on how your brain interprets the signals.
I can just about tune an instrument but cannot name the notes outside of looking at the strings at all, so I'm similar to you in that regard
This is am interesting comment, but i have a correction.
> we see colours mostly in an absolute way (you'd never be confused if something is red or blue)
cue the dress debate. Elaboration - the way you can recognise colors in, say, blue light, is due to their relation to eachother, their absolute values would hang around the blues and greys; you can 100% mix up blue with red in certain contexts.
I guess the trained "absolute vision" would be... the ability to recognise the red and green rays in yellow and the distinctions between similar colors without directly comparing them?
After recent allegations on Toaster, Michi better be careful around Nijisanji-wannabe frogger here.
27:10 I have never heard it described like that but so ta-rue!!
I can't tell which aged worse. Eviltoaster's obsession with self diagnosing autism tests or all the older comments here thinking it all fine and dandy.
I knew she'd get a high score, but I was not expecting her to ace the test like that.
14:10 jobby is scottish slang for poop
BUT Y THO??????
One of us. One of us. One of us!
Michi talking about like shiny things as soon she said that I thought of magpies as they like shiny things
Scores 119 out of 65 on the autism test
“What does this MEAN?!”
some people can't imagine visually, only words.
The easiest test is asking another person with the tism. Michi showed up on the radar immediately
Not just another person, but a close friend.
At least for me, I (officially diagnosed as a teen) started noticing similarities between my behavior and my friend’s at different times. I said to him “have you ever thought you might be autistic?” He said no, but was curious, so I sent him a few tests to try when he had time. Sure enough, I was right. 😁
4:20 I always look for what food feels like in my mouth. Grits, for example, I don't mind the taste, but the texture always makes me gag instantly.
Slimy foods I can never stand. Stuff like wet slippery onions, or worst of all TOMATOES!!!! WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE AND TOMATOES????? THEY DON'T EVEN ADD ANY FLAVOR IT'S JUST DISGUSTING SLIMY SKIN UGH
Also, I will never understand why people cook or boil vegetables. Wet vegetables are absolutely disgusting. It feels like I'm eating live worms, like something is squirming and wriggling around in my mouth, it's horrifying. Crunchy raw vegetables are actually delicious, I will happily take a bite out of a raw onion. But those little stringy wet cooked onion strips that people love to add on everything, that is an afront against God.
I have to have crunchy i dont care about the taste but i need that crunch or crispiness or i will gag unless its candy
Ha, my score was better, 156.
Edit after watching: She’s so much worse then I thought, she sounds like me when I was figuring it out.
what is it with vtubers and scoring high marks on neurodivergent tests
Cause and effect, LMAO.
I think there's selection bias
serious answer, it's because vtubing is basically perfect for neurodivergents. A digital mask you can control perfectly + rewards for being authentically weird?
@@SoullessOO1 yeah fair
It's the perfect job for neurodivergent ppl. Wear whatever you want to work, don't have to show your face, you can look however you want, & ppl listen to you ramble about things you like b/c they WANT to & not b/c they feel socially obligated to. It's the autistic dream
23:31 "new high score" LMAO
One thing people arent told about these types of tests is that how you justify your answers is also part of the test. So doing this test with someone else really helps solidify just what kind of neurodivergency you have.
I kind of get that thing about the chewiness. If I have to chew something for longer than like, 10 seconds, it makes me gag.
7:43 I was the same way until I learned to love and lean into my weirdness. Normal is boring, us freaks make the world more interesting. And I say freak as a badge honor.
Bro said “can you rotate apples in your mind” and not i can’t get the spinning apple out of my mind
HELP
Idk why I just stumbled on this and shiina's diagnosis clip and the whole time I'm just like huh they seem normal to me. *Takes test* huh 148...
Interesting.
I usually see people take a different test for this.
21:30 there's a thing called Aphantasia. It's a term for people who can't visualize anything in their head. They can think only of the concepts of things. Usually they can still see dreams and stuff, but when actively thinking, there's no visual feedback.
I got 187 doing the same test...didn't know I am autistic...
Damn i got a 183 i know im autistic (just not diagnosed) i hate ppl i hate loud noises i hate a lot of textures on clothes and food i hate water unless its mixed with something (i got arfid) so i refuse to eat and socialize with ppl the only people i talk to is 2 members of my family and a friend i rarely ever see but i also got adhd
I’m autistic and I got 75 on it
i dont see the issue there, the average allistic score is beneath 65
The sprectum is very hard to test these just screen for the first part
IIRC the site says nobody not autistic scored high, but not all autistics score high. I scored 145, a friend of mine scored around 100, and another friend around 70. The site mentions some autistics scoring around 30, but the average is 130. Anyway, I'm the only one of us three that has been officially diagnosed as autistic. The other two have opted not to pursue further info on the subject for themselves.
Your autism pass has been revoked
These tests aren't super accurate, that's what professionals are for. But also, I scored a 153 which is somewhat accurate for my autistic ass, so just take it with a grain of salt I guess.
Very much a redundant decision for me to take it despite being neuro-spicy myself but I took it anyway.
Damn, I did the test too and I scored 119 (9 language, 58 social relatedness, 26 sensory/motor and 26 circumscribed interests). People used to call me autistic in high school, but I didn't know it was this bad :c
I took the very same test and scored 24 😳
I can’t let her diss on meet. I eat tires for dinner.
yikes
The vtuber experience
It means michie should probably talk about this with a professional!
9:00 wait that’s what that word means?!?… and with that I remember how long it took for me to realize I was autistic… thanks Air Force! 👍 😂
I scored 123. Not that surprised, as I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (now part of Autism Spectrum Disorder as part of DSM-5) around 2001. I've gotten better at reading social cues, but I do still have some habitual quirks.
31:52 i never in my life
i haven't watched michi much, and this explains a lot tbh
This is my second videos of hers i have seen, and i am unsupervised.
She also sounds like she might be ace
Maybe that's a bit of a stretch? I mean, I am extremely horny behind closed doors, but if you were to ask the people that know me they might think I had some sort of hormonal defect lol. I just repress a lot of stuff, and I barely share with other people. I had a crush on this girl in highschool for five years, and when I finally told my friends they were like "WHAT???? U LIKE SOMEONE????"
@qwertydavid8070 as an ace person: it's just about lack of sexual attraction, not sex drive (I have one) and romantic attraction is unrelated to sexual attraction.
I'm also mostly basing this off of her comments about what she cares about in a relationship (wanting the emotional intimacy, and not caring about the sexual) and her stated lack of intrest in porn in the video where she talks about melodies other stream and trying to get her coworkers vibes.
Shes either ace or demisexual bc it seems she doesnt like any form of intimacy unless she trusts them using her standard like the germ thing and hugging but that could be trauma from her childhood im just speculating bc im similar when it comes to intimacy i need to trust them i need to know them or i can treat it like a job and service someone but no all the way
Someone linked me the test, i got 8 points.
i once spit out some perfectly good chicken because biting into it felt weirdly sandy. this was not at a beach or anywhere near sand. the chicken was just cooked weird.
The funniest part was that toaster repeatedly called Michi hot and she didn't pick up on that he was flirting.
Just likes certain green moose
@@dragb9284except i think mata might be right in suspecting haruka's asexual and aromantic. those people get even denser with flirting, like outright cartoonishly dense at times.
"Hot" = neuro-spicy in this context. But its funny he sneaks it into the convo and they're just like *progress wheel spinning*
@@dead-claudia I could easily believe that. Even Ari had to spell out how people have flirted with her in the past in pretty obvious ways.
24:29 “excuse me” 😂
my psychiatrist made me take this quiz, i got like 30 lower score and eventually got diagnosed lmao
We need a study into the links between VTubing and autism, especially since autism in women and girls is obscenely under-researched. Abolish Autism Speaks, and give all their funding towards this research project, it'll be funny
nice. cute michi.
"i am not autistic" > proceeds to give the most autistic answers ever :DD my dude, even my denial wasn't/isn't this strong.
yippie! 🎉🎉🎉
13:42 im not expert but that sound how i do it. also yeah im autistic( been diagnosed) and somme part of what michi describe fit x) .
edit: 23:46. yeah that kindof a sign…also the question 42 is unironicly one of the most important, sensory question are in general
28: 40 yeah same i usualy dont look weird either tho im in the spectrum 😅
I got a 183 fuck yeah high score i think what gave it away was my antisocialness but tbf i have arfid so i cant just eat with ppl and tbh i dont like ppl bc the ultimate pattern i have recognized people who dont like you will project their own insecurities on to you and if they are in the wrong they deny deny deny and stick to their guns even if they know they are wrong the only time i enjoyed socializing was when i was in school but i was known as the weirdo and a freak
Another one, I knew I liked good people :)
38:00 unless we live in a world where 29 is lower then 11 thats wrong michi
chat 9 points ... again 18 points not 9 what are these people on
27:18 See them how?
There is one question I couldn't answer for myself
"can you tell if someone is flirting with you"
No one has ever flirted with me so no way to answer it 😂
20:20 bro i got aphantasia, it's not my fault ;(
I took the test, got a 42, and was not autistic but have autistic traits
All fun and games until I track down the test before she didnit and scored 150...apparently, I should be getting myself checked out for both ADHD and autism now... The things I'm starting to realize on accident in my 30's, I swear...more things to add to the pile of "when I get around to it" lol.
THE NUMBERS WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
