A fascinating project is underway thanks to a member of the WrongPlanet forum for Asperger syndrome, autism and related social/verbal discomforts, about Doctor Who and the autism spectrum.

User Jeyradan is looking for people to take part in a survey that can be found on WrongPlanet, answering questions about the series of Doctor Who, the lead character and any companions as well as taking suggestions for content within the book.

Now it is far beyond the remit of this website to offer any opinions as to whether there is any sort of link or attraction between Doctor Who and people with these conditions – hopefully this is something the eventual book will tell us or help us decide upon – but we are able to urge you to take part in what looks like being a fascinating project.

Completed surveys should be emailed to dw-autism@hotmail.com, and if you’ve got time to complete 23 questions than go ahead and do it. The more answers the author receives, the better the outcome for the book!
