Impulsive Decision-Making Disorder (IDD): A Cognitive Deficit in Allistic Individuals

A Groundbreaking Study by the Institute for the Study of Mildly Inconvenienced Allistics (IS-MIA), Published in the Journal of Pathologizing Normal Autistic Behavior (JPNAB).

Abstract

For decades, autism research has fixated on so-called "decision-making difficulties" in autistic individuals, pathologizing traits such as deep analysis, precision, and information-seeking while ignoring the potential cognitive impairments of allistic (non-autistic) individuals. This study seeks to correct that oversight by introducing Impulsive Decision-Making Disorder (IDD)—a cognitive condition observed in allistic populations, characterized by hasty decision-making, reliance on social heuristics, and emotional reactivity in judgment.

Through a multi-phase experimental design, we assessed decision accuracy, peer influence susceptibility, and cognitive endurance in allistic and autistic individuals. Findings indicate that IDD significantly impairs rational decision-making in allistics, leading to increased error rates, social conformity bias, and discomfort with complex reasoning tasks (Neurotyp & Normington, 2015).

Our results highlight the urgent need for early interventions…
