The relationship between empathy, gender, and autism spectrum conditions

As part of my Honours Psychology program (University of the Sunshine Coast) I’m currently running a research project. The research team and I are interested in empathy in relation to people with high-functioning autism and the general population. We are also hoping to gain a better understanding of any differences between males and females. If you are 18+ and have a spare 10-15 minutes, we would really appreciate your contribution to this important research. The survey is open to all adults from the general population and from the Autism Spectrum population. Even if you have never received an official diagnosis or present with no Autistic traits whatsoever, we need you. The survey is completely anonymous, and involves answering questions about empathy and how you react in social situations. A link with more information can be found below.
