Harvard-backed math question that reveals if someone could be autistic
Briefly

The answer to how much the ball costs reveals cognitive processing styles: system one thinkers often answer quickly, while system two thinkers take a more methodical approach.
Olesya Luraschi indicates that the bat and ball question is part of a Cognitive Reflection Test, which helps in understanding if a person is a system one or system two thinker.
If the ball costs five cents, the bat would be $1.05, enabling the total to equal $1.10; this reasoning emphasizes the importance of thoughtful processing.
The question's purpose is not to definitively diagnose autism, but as a screening tool, it highlights cognitive approaches that may correlate with autism traits.
