University of Indianapolis Autism Research

My normal preface to guest posts like this is to explain that I’m both a parent of a child with ASD and I’m an ex-market researcher which is why I like to help promote academic research into autism.

So there.  I’ve said it.

Anyhow Jessica Mueller of the University of Indianapolis is running a survey with people who have children and she would like your help.

Mueller writes “Hello All:

Please read and share the following information and link about my dissertation research!

My name is Jessica Mueller, M.A., and I am a 4th year clinical psychology doctoral student conducting my dissertation research through the University of Indianapolis. I would like to invite you to participate in my online survey. This study aims to investigate family feelings, sibling relationships and parental stress. As a parent, you will be asked to consider both positive and negative feelings in the area of family interactions. The survey is estimated to take 30 to 45 minutes to complete, and can be accessed via the link at the bottom of this notice.

To be eligible for participation, individuals must be the parent/guardian of at least two children between the ages of 5 and 17. One of the children in the age range of 5 to 17 must be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.


As a thank-you for completing the survey, you can elect to enter a drawing to win one of two $25 Amazon gift cards. All collected information will remain anonymous and confidentially stored. No identifying information will be collected from you. You may contact me with any questions (muellerjk@uindy.edu). Please feel free to share and post this study information with friends and other acquaintances. Thank you!!

Here is the link to the survey:
