Wait, is this true??? Do most of you (at least the neurotypical ones) really not have a mental jukebox playing most of the time? Really??? I’m *reeling* at this suggestion
Thanks for feedback on the mental jukebox thing. It sounded a bit overstated, but interesting to hear different people’s experiences. “More research is indicated” 😁

Well let’s start that research now, with a highly scientific poll. “Please boost for reach” (and to offer me some always-needed validation), etc.

Which applies to you most closely?

(NT = neurotypical, ND = neurodivergent, including suspected/self-ID)

NT, have a mental jukebox
20.2%
NT, no mental jukebox
6.5%
ND, have a mental jukebox
60.4%
ND, no mental jukebox
12.9%

Didn't vote, because you didn't provide an "other" option and I increasingly find myself questioning the model(s) within which such terminology is framed.
I very much doubt that or differences are matters of having/not having this or that feature or practice so much as rather more complicated differences in the proportios of factors we bring to bear while we negotiate the rugged terrain of our lives together.
@baslow That’s fair enough. My “most closely” language was a stumbling attempt at recognising that, but in the end this was a four-option, 25 characters per option Masto poll 😁
