This observational study consists of data collection using a structured questionnaire based on an e-CRF, distributed by e-mail. Four questionnaires were administered : the Revised Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale (RAADS-R-Fr), the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y). Socio-demographic and treatments were collected.
For participants with High Intellectual Potential, the total Intelligence Quotient (IQ) or General Ability Index (GAI), along with the index scores from the Wechsler scales (Verbal Comprehension Index, Perceptual Reasoning Index, Working Memory Index, and Processing Speed Index), will be extracted from the cognitive assessment previously completed by the participant prior to study enrollment.

Subscores for sensory sensitivity, low registration, sensation seeking, and sensation avoidance are collected. For each subscore, the minimum and maximum values range from 15 to 75. A high score indicates high sensory sensitivity.
