As I am both the therapist and the researcher (interviewer), participants may not feel they can say their real feelings and give positive feedback in order to be polite. In this case, do you have any suggestion/experience about how such bias in data collection & analysis be managed? Thank you very much.

Why is it so difficult to hypnotize autistic people? Is it because they can’t concentrate on one point or is there another cause? Is it possible that they have difficulties with becoming a trance as a result of their inefficient mirror neurons?
Relevant answer
Answer
I would have to guess that it might have something to do with sensory processing issues. Too much stimulation from the environment (sound, smell, touch) would impede on the ability to focus thought. Attempting to direct the person’s attention inward until all they hear is what you want them to hear would be difficult under these circumstances.
