Abstract

In today’s era, the pressure to adhere to societal norms and expectations is evident. This trend is markedly prominent in collectivist societies where collaborative harmony and uniformity has a significant impact on an individual’s personality. It is hypothesized that collectivism will be a significant predictor of camouflaging behavior in autistic and non-autistic individuals.
