  Wait, other people don’t do that? Well, that explains a lot… Since a kid, I never understood how people treated their stuff so badly and trow stuff away without a second thought. I take care of my stuff for as long as I can, and almost never trow anything way. They’re like companions who walk with me in my life, and I’m never giving up on an old friend.

    I’m not autistic and I feel the same way. It makes me sad to throw something away if it’s still got some use in it.

    source

    • chimasterflex@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I don’t think that’s exactly the same situation though. Your comment reads as utilitarian, is that your reasoning for it? The object personification lends to an association of empathy for the object itself

    Sometimes objects im using have like, a personality and desire? Like they won’t want to get thrown out or there’s some kind of relationship between two forks.

    Its kind of subconscious - I’m only somewhat aware of it. Its weird.

    Also when in recalling things Ive learned recently I’ll sometimes recall a place I’ve been to as well. This happens most frequently with code for some reason. Programs I’ve written or functions will be strongly tied to places in some way? I don’t get it.

    • JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Thats probably just an accidental association/linking by your brain. When we learn new things our brain creates neural pathways and these become ‘memory’. If there is something that you learn and at the same time it happened to be when you moved to a new house, were on holiday at a different place or perhaps when you met a new person, your brain may go 'you learned this new thing and that place/person/smell/emotion was also there so i will ‘save this’ together as part of the same memory.
      Its like playing a game from your childhood reminding you of the music you were listening to at the time you played it, or a skill you learned reminding you of that awesome dinner you grandma cooked because she was staying with your family at the time.

  When I was a kid, every letter and number seemed to have a gender to me.

  Male: a, c, d, e, g, h, j, l, m, n, o, p, x, z, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 Female: b, f, i, k, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, y, 3, 7, 8 NB: 0

    Same for me except my number genders are different. 1,3,5,6,9 are male and 2,4,7,8 are female. 0 is still nb. I’d have to really think about the letters since they are more nuanced. Numbers definitely have hard gender though.

      It’s the opposite for me. As a child, I had an irrational fear of dandelions. When my dad had to mown the lawn, I cheered from the window, as I could finally go outside again.

  I hope i don’t make the paper sad by saying this but the are kinda off.

  The only real difference is for below age 24. Then its pretty much the same if not less prevalent for autists.

  They point to some other factors about the types of questions that indicate that the differences are underestimated but evidently that didn’t translate in hard numbers.

  • LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I think you are misreading this. The age sections at the top are just a demographic breakdown of the two groups. Note rhat all the different percentages for age sum to 100. The results are just the bottom section of your screenshot (“anthromorphic questionnaire”). Does seem to be statistically significant.

    source
  • ArcticPrincess@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The actual results are in the text. 56% personifiers among autists vs 33% among not autists, p<0.05. Self report is p=0.06.

    source
  • doctordevice@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’m pretty sure the age and gender in that table is just showing the frequency of the ages in the sample, not a crosstab of age or gender with personification/anthropomorphism.

    So that’s saying their autistic population skewed younger than their non-autistic population. Which isn’t unsurprising, it’s a lot easier to get a diagnosis as a child, and generally easier to get diagnosed now compared to a few decades ago. So people over 35 or so are going to just be less likely to have had the opportunity for diagnosis. The authors do address differences in gender representation between the samples but I don’t see age addresses specifically. It could just be that younger people tend to personify/anthropomorphize more, so since the sample of people with autism skewed pretty heavily towards the 16-24 group the results could instead be displaying differences by age. I don’t think they quite have the sample size to delve into age too much. I think they’d only be able to get away with doing two groups at 34 & under and 35+. That would be a good start though.

    This is also a heavily self-selected population, apparently largely from social media. I’m always automatically skeptical of social media sampling.

    I would’ve liked to see a little more detail about exactly which tests and assumptions they were using. The gender difference looks like they did a t-test, but it’s left to the reader to assume they ran a two-tailed t-test. They could easily have bolstered their numbers by reporting the one-tailed test.

  • Poik@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’ve noticed a lot of things that are considered autistic in the states specifically may be normal practice in various cultures, having worked with people in Germany, and from a large swath of Asia.

    It interests me a bit, but I think the takeaway is that autism tends to manifest in a number of quirks, and the ones that don’t align with the current culture the autistic person is in are the ones that are paid attention to. That and there tends to be a bit more obsession over said quirks than in those cultures, sometimes to the detriment of the autistic person or their social life.

    I came here looking for a discussion about a link between Autism and animism (as being the oldest known spiritual practice).

    I think your just talking about animism and confusing the relation

    source

    • akakunai@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Oh I agree there’s probably no relation. Reading this I just found the overlap between autistic tendencies and Japanese cultural tendencies to be interesting, not indicative of anything else.

  Let me sum up the concept for you. People who are on the spectrum see the entire world around them as alive. Many often feel a connection to much of their environment. Now as to how the paper see’s that ether a positive or a negative I couldn’t say because I certainly don’t care.

  source

  • A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    That generalization is not necessarily true, from personal experience, I for sure don’t think of everything as “alive”.

    source

    • MehBlah@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You can feel about it however you want but I see it the way I see it. My son who also has the tisms see’s it much the same way I do. We are all different and I know people who don’t have that connection at all who are also autistic. If you don’t have that feeling you wont get it.
