It is time for the rawest of fuckin data

Anyways, this isn't the FINAL information i just wanted to show yall a snippet before i put everything together (which will take time bc im a full time student and i work)

--------------------------------------------------------

Overall we had 454 responses!

Q1 was generally about autistic identity.

80.4% of respondants identified as autistic (self or professional diagnosis was acceptable). 12.5% were unsure and 7% did not identify as autistic. I included a chart.

Q2 asks about if the respondent currently has an interest in fishes/marine life or if they have in the past.

83% of respondents said they do have a current interest in fishes, while 10.8% used to. 6.2% never had an interest in fishes.

As far as reasoning goes with regards as to why autistics like fishes: I haven't gone through EVERYTHING yet, but the common trends so far are: Comfort, they got there from a different special interest, the amount of diversity within fish groups, and because a lot of them are unusual. I'll go more into depth when i read them all and write my thingy.

What id do differently: In the future I wouldve liked to include one part for other neurodivergents and one for neurotypical folks, just cuz it'd be cool to see if there's a difference between why we like it vs neurotypicals. This was just to find out why autistics tend to like fishes so much, so that was something that popped into my mind AFTER i had gotten a fair amount of responses. I'd mosty just wanna focus on tightening up my questions.

I'll try to get the writing out when i can!

Flashlight Fish Appreciation Post

Anomalopidae (lanterneye fishes or flashlight fishes) are a family of fish distinguished by bioluminescent organs located underneath their eyes, for which they are named.

These light organs contain luminous bacteria and can be "shut off" by the fish using either a dark lid or by being drawn into a pouch. They are used to communicate, attract prey, and evade predators.

These rarely seen fish are nocturnal and found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
