We are conducting a research study of daydreaming and characteristics of autism. Participants must be 18 and over, and must speak and read English fluently. Experience of immersive/maladaptive daydreaming or autism traits is not required – we are looking for responses from all types of people. The study involves an online questionnaire which takes about 20-30 minutes. The questionnaire will include questions about personality style, daydreaming, life experiences, interests, and a short creative thinking task. The survey is for research purposes and is completely voluntary (there is no compensation) and anonymous –we will not ask for any personal details that can link your responses to your identity. We are interested to discover whether unique daydreaming experiences share any overlap with some of the characteristics of autism.
