00:00Ever wondered how a simple question could reveal how your brain works?
00:04A viral TikTok by psychology enthusiast Alessia Lurashi
00:07shares a question that just might give you some insight, especially if you're curious about autism.
00:13The question goes, A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs $1 more than the ball.
00:20So, how much does the ball cost? Got your answer?
00:24If you said 10 cents, you're using System 1 thinking, quick and intuitive.
00:29But here's the twist. The correct answer is actually 5 cents.
00:34This difference in how we think—fast versus slow—can reveal a lot.
00:38Research shows that neurodivergent individuals, like those with autism,
00:43often rely more on logical, slower System 2 thinking.
00:47They think things through before jumping to conclusions.
00:50While this test isn't a diagnosis, it can give you a peek into your thinking style.
00:54So, how does your brain work? Fast and intuitive or slow and logical?
