John HWait, 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
NT, no mental jukebox
ND, have a mental jukebox
ND, no mental jukebox
Poll ended at .
I spoke to E and she said she might get a song stuck in her head for a time each day, but most of the time “it’s quiet in there, silent, apart from my own thoughts”. “Quiet”??? “Silent”??? What is this witchcraft?
Artholomew@considermycatjohn ND here, and I basically cannot get songs stuck in my head. Sounds can't get a grip and just bounce off. It's certainly not quiet because my thoughts are a whirlwind but there's no accompanying sound of any kind.
