[Autism/Chronic Pain/Mood MI] Ppl Question 

Do other ppl find Pain Scales (and Mood Scales) from 1-10 very bizarre/unanswerable?

Like, I cannot.. Plot something so variable along multiple axis from a 1-10. Pain is not a numerical.. Thing?

So my answers are always just kinda panic-flail random answers or somewhere around the middle because I have nothing to navigate by

"Ok, I generated a semi-random integer for you. No it doesn't map to anything meaningful, but.. You were demanding a number. This is a number. I have fulfilled task?"

@pastelbat yes! I’m actually like glad to know others feel like this

I can see pain as colours/shapes bc synethesia. But numbers makes no sense.

But ‘white, pale green crunchy and spikey’ doesn’t make sense to most ppl as a measurement either
