I've thought about this idea for quite some time now, and I'd thought I check it out with others.

It seems to be "well-known" that there is asortative mating between autistics. The question is if this is only related to similar communication styles or if there is also an attractivity component to this.

My idea is to let quiz-participants rate the attractiveness of an Aspie and a NT of the opposite sex. I would put this on the second page of the quiz, after the question about gender.

I need some volunteers of both genders that want to participate. If you are willing to participate, either indicate it in this topic or send me a pm. I will only show the picture in the quiz, and it won't be part of the evaluation.

You would want several dozen, right? and it would be a blind quiz, the participant wouldnt know wether the face was an Aspie or an NT?

The more the better, yes. The minimum is one Aspie per gender, but the more the better. If there are several alternatives I'd simply present a random picture and store the number with the scoring.

I won't tell people whom is Aspie and whom is NT, and I'd present the pictures in random order.

How about some sort of feed back to the participants? Let them know how they are rated? I'd join in for a gamble like that!

There will be feedback. I'll assign each participant a number. This number will be presented in the evaluation, so that way participants can see their average rating. If people want to stay anonymous, they can just keep their number to themselves.
