This study investigated whether there is an association between ASC and CSS and, if there was evidence for an association, what common complaints or overlapping symptoms there might have been. Anyone over the age of 18 was eligible to take part in the study, as a broad range of participants was needed, including people with a Central Sensitivity Syndrome (CSS), autistic people, and individuals without a CSS or autism. This data includes the following established quantitative questionnaires • Autism Spectrum Quotient/AQ (Baron-Cohen et al., 2001) • Sensory Perception Quotient/SPQ (Tavassoli et al., 2014) • Central Sensitization Inventory/CSI (Mayer et al., 2012) • Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire/GAD-7 (Spitzer et al., 2006) • Patient Health Questionnaire/PHQ-9 (Kroenke et al., 2001) • Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire/CAT-Q (Hull et al., 2019) • Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire/Brief IPQ (Broadbent et al., 2006) (for participants that indicated a chronic illness diagnosis) The survey also included basic demographic information (age, gender, employment and education status and current country of residence) and questions about diagnostic status, dates and procedures, co-occurring conditions, family history of autism and sensory processing changes.
