Watch it first before scrolling down!



























































































































So, did you...

A) Jump
B) Didn't react at all
C) Other?

A/C) I sort of jumped back a little, didn't stand up though.

I like snakes.

C). I leaned back slightly. I am not sure anything from a video can make me jump out of my seat. Try something more creepy and unexpected next time.

C. Didn't even watch the video, because the anticipation of something scary (like suspenseful horror movies) makes me anxious.

C) Other?

I thought it was kind of cute, and was glad it wasn't actually dead (like the caption had said).

I expected the ending. It was highly predictable. Therefore, I wasn't surprised.

I don't dare watch it!

i made a face similar to wondering if that really was it

If you weren't at least slightly startled (I mean how you actually reacted, not like how you pretended to react because you want to present yourself as some macho guy or some "Too intellectual" guy who disdains childish, predictable videos.), it's because you're autistic as auties don't process emotions like NTs, similar to the way schizophrenics process emotions. I've watched in 3 times already and I'm slightly startled each and every time and I find it predictable every time. Just because something is predictable doesn't mean it's not scary! It's rather predictable that someone who's holding a gun towards your head because you just stole $1,000,000 from them might just blow your brains, but you don't find it any less scary!

If I was to suddenly poke a finger towards your eyes, you'd close them and possibly move backwards.
What does that have to do with Autism?

B, but I've seen it before.

And FTR, I do react when startled. Linking such a reaction to whether you have Autism or not does no good. It's a fallacy.

Autistics are slower to react, so by the time the danger passes, they effectively don't react other than to say "Ouch, my eye!".

So with the poking finger - how do you think an NT should react?

With a faster attention switching speed, an NT would gasp, shield themselves from the poke and then suddenly retaliate by poking them back in the eyes.

I believe this would qualify as other:
