Imaginary Companions in Adulthood
Imaginary Companions in Adulthood
Anecdotal accounts suggest that Imaginary Companions (ICs) exist in adulthood, but they have not been systematically studied. How are autistic traits and imaginativeness related to IC characteristics? Is there a difference in the rate of IC creation between autistic and non-autistic adults? We are examining these questions through survey research.
