If you are a female who is a single-caregiver of a child with autism – SHARE YOUR STORY! You might qualify for $50 prize draw.

Xavier University Autism Research

A few days ago we share a request from Emily Schreiber of Xavier University to share an invitation to a research project she is running.

Yesterday she got in touch explaining that she has one particular group whom she would like to conduct a few more interviews. In this case women who are lone caregivers of a child with autism.

Schreiber told us ” I am conducting research examining social support experienced by mothers raising a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Research on single-caregivers needs to be advanced in this field.

Please help me with this initiative by taking two brief questionnaires (no more than 10-15 minutes):

Carers Rights Day 2014 – Friday 28th November. Please share.

Carers Rights Day

As many of you will know by now I am the carer or caregiver of an eight year old boy with autism.

So, like many of you, I take a great deal of interest in the whole area of carers rights.

So I’m delighted to put my wholehearted support behind Carers Rights Day which is organised by Carers UK.

To show your support it would be great if you could share the logo above and a link to the Carers Rights Day website. The link allows you to sign up for more information and to find out what your rights actually are.

Many thanks.
