SSTPQ - The Self, Space, and Time Perception Questionnaire

Lexicon [Measures] - SSTPQ

 

The SSTPQ consists of 13 questions and measures three distinct constructs and aims to capture individuals' subjective experiences and perceptions related to cognition areas of.

  • perception of time
  • differentiation between self-voice and other-voice
  • perception of PPS

Scoring is on a Likert scale and individual scores provide a total score.  Interpretation may involve comparing the scores to established norms/controls

Limitations:

  • Reliance on self report means social desirability bias and the limitations of introspection.
  • Sub measures not explicitly stated

Potential Limitation in Autism Populations:

  • Autistics may have atypical perceptions of time, self-voice and other-voice, and PPS.
  • Sensory and cognitive processing differences in autism may influence the accuracy of self-report measures.
  • Some may have difficulties expressing their experiences or perceiving these constructs in the same way as NT
  • The SSTPQ may not capture the full range of submeasure variations observed in autism, as the questionnaire's dimensions and items may not align with the unique experiences and challenges faced by autistics

Nothing seems to go my way
Stuck in this rut, I cannot escape

Remembering Judy @DREDF

Last year, I had been invited to join the DREDF board, my response to joining was a resounding YES. 

At the first board meeting on Aug 12,2022, it was the late Judy Heumann who nominated me to the board and the motion was seconded by Christina Mills. The board voted unanimously to have me join the board. 

Thinking of you Judy, as we head into the next board meeting without you today. You were there at start of DREDF to make it a reality and later on its board, and we will miss your presence.
