@autistics Is anyone interested in filling in a research questionnaire for my step-enby on "Autistic traits, alexithymia and attachment"? They are struggling to get enough participants locally and this would help them gather the data they need for their psychology dissertation. They are #Autistic themselves, and studying psych in order to help other Autistic people. It's available at https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/glos/dis-questionares

Autistic traits, alexithymia and attachment

Online surveys is a powerful, easy to use tool for creating online surveys. Run by Jisc, online surveys is used by over 300 different organisations in the UK...

@cybervegan Feedback from an AuDHD guy: I wish it was clearer up front about what it entailed. It mentions "three questionnaires" and "about 30 minutes", but no precise details about format or number or questions. I got to a page of 50 multiple choice questions and it felt like there would be more on later pages, but my ADHD refused to spend attention on the first 50 questions without knowing in advance how many more I'd have to do to earn that sweet "yay I helped" dopamine reward at the end.
@squipo Thanks will pass that on.
@cybervegan
Apologies if I missed it (super tired today), but I can't see anything about whether they want only formally diagnosed folks, or whether self-diagnosed is also okay?
@3TomatoesShort They need both diagnosed and undiagnosed and even neuro normative people too. There's still time if you would like to complete it.
@cybervegan
Thanks, will have a look now!
@cybervegan my answers were as hot a mess as I am when it came to romantic relationships. Both my relationships were a toxic codependent dumpster fire, I don't think I interpreted the questions in the way they were meant. It didn't help to turn to my ex when I needed help, not because I didn't want his help, but because I knew I couldn't ever rely on him to be there for me in the way I would be there for him. So my answers may seem to be random, because they only make sense through the lens of unhealthy and codependent relationships.

@cybervegan

I felt like a fraud, checking all the boxes about attachment anxiety knowing its not about my autism but my shitty partners

@autistics

@loyhena @autistics It all adds data to analyse. Thanks!
@cybervegan @autistics Just boosted into my timeline. Is the survey still open (I noticed the original post was nearly 3 weeks ago)?
@spanghero @autistics Thanks, but sorry it is not. I think they have already pulled the figures and are analysing them now.
@cybervegan @autistics No problem, thanks for responding and good luck to them in their research.
