A survey for adults with autism about relationships. Please take part


Claremont McKenna - Autism Research

Claremont McKenna – Autism Research

We are a team of researchers from Claremont McKenna College (Department of Psychology), UCLA (Department of Psychiatry), and California State University Long Beach (Department of Psychology). We are very much interested in better understanding the lives of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In particular, we are interested in learning more about romantic relationships in adulthood and how they affect other aspects of adults’ lives. For this study, we have created a questionnaire that will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. We are greatly appreciative of any volunteers on the autism spectrum willing to complete the questionnaire.

There is little existing research investigating romantic relationships among adults with ASD and we hope that by conducting this questionnaire we will learn more about this important part of life in adults with ASD. This could help us understand the role of romantic relationships and their impact on daily lives.

Here is a link to the questionnaire: https://claremontmckenna.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8vjRZZ3gyCKlQTX

For specific questions, please feel free to email us at: Lindsey.Sterling@csulb.edu

Thank you for your time!

We have been asked by Ariana LeBrun a student at; California State University, Dominguez Hills; to help her finds parent of children with autism to take part in an online survey.

LeBrun writes “I am currently a student at California State University, Dominguez Hills in the Masters of Science, Occupational Therapy program. I am currently working on a survey research study with 2 classmates, about the activities that parents of children with an ASD diagnosis do together. More specifically we are trying to learn what activities families do together that bring them closer to one-another and bring meaning to their lives.
I was referred to you by the AutismTalk FB group and it was suggested that I could post a link to the survey as a guest post on your blog.
I worked as an ABA therapist in the LA area for 5 years prior to beginning my master’s program and hope to continue to work with families affected by ASD once I graduate!
It is completely anonymous and has been approved by my university’s review board. Thank you so much! Feel free to use the comments box below if you have any questions. ”
