Parents and siblings of children with ASD – a student at Bond University needs your help with some research

A couple of days ago we were contacted by Emily Habelrih, a student at Bond University Psychology Clinic, in Australia to help us locate people in the ASD community to help here with a research project.

Habelrih writes “I am currently completing my masters of clinical psychology. As such I am completing a research thesis. I have a young brother with Autism so this topic is very close to my heart.

My research project is investigating the possible affects of having a sibling with Autism Spectrum Disorder. To date, no Australian research has explored this area. As research has primarily focused on children with Autism and their parents, the following research will aim to identify whether siblings of children with Autism, when compared to siblings of typically developing children, tend to have negative emotionality, lower self-esteem, and lower academic success.

I am inviting both typically developing siblings and their parents to participate in this research. Are you able to post about this research, or do you have any suggestions for platforms that may be able to?

Children/young adults who have a sibling with ASD can complete the survey by following this link:

Parents who would like to complete the survey can complete the survey via this link:

If you have any queries about the research please ask them in the comments section below. We with them ask Ms Habelrih to reply.

Thanks very much for your help in advance.
