| In theory if you don't close your browser, the survey will remain open for a week. However, because of the level of anonymity I've set on the survey, it doesn't record IP addresses, so once your browser window closes, there is no going back. It was a bit of a prisoner's dilemma: strict anonymity an... |

| I'm 39, but I've been married 18 years and have two kids. I relate more to people over 40 than under. Would it be a problem if I took the survey? The survey will likely run for a few more months - perhaps it will still be open when you're 40? ;) It seems like an arbitrary boundary, like most bounda... |

| -The back function doesn't seem to be working, so don't skip a page! Is it possible to adjourn part-way through and resume later? Don't want to mess it up if the questions turn out to be things I can't immediately get the answers to. In theory if you don't close your browser, the survey will remain... |

| Hi All - Thought I might bump this post - I've had an amazing response rate so far considering, just over 100 folks have taken the survey! I will be running this survey on-going, but already have some interesting preliminary results that I'd love to see if they hold consistent as more people take it... |

| WrongPlaneteers: Your responses so far have been great to this survey. I'm so grateful! If you haven't taken the survey but it applies to you, I humbly ask for you to consider taking it. If you are interested... -I forgot Australia/New Zealand/Oceania as mentioned in a comment. Too late for the pers... |

| As to what I hope to figure out with the survey... There is a great deal of knowledge within the community and about ourselves when it comes to identifying or getting diagnosed as autistic, but very little in the academic world. So one of my overall research projects is to document and systematize o... |

| Just completed the survey - don't know how those questions will give you a picture of our lives - but anyway there you go. One little point - it is somewhat offensive that you do not consider Oceania/Australasia/Australia/New Zealand or the Pacific to part of the relevant world. Good catch! Argh! I... |

| Research on adults with autism who are not in dependent care is scant, and I seek to fill that gap. I think this is a very good idea and I really hope that further research will be made for this category of people (autonomous aspies adults). I do not currently qualify to answer the survey. I’m over... |

| Are you an adult who identifies as autistic, Asperger’s, or on the autism spectrum (PDD-NOS, etc)? Did you figure out that you were on the autism spectrum as an adult? Did you get diagnosed as an adult? While those with memoirs and blogs have shared their experiences, there is very little on the exp... |

| Thanks for your interest, Kraftiekortie. I'm really looking to talk to folks who missed being diagnosed or were misdiagnosed as kids and came to autism as adults. However, I'm going to be doing this kind of research for a long while (there is a lot we [in the academic sense] don't know about autist... |

| Thank you for identifying yourself in a clear manner. Some researchers do not and garner a negative response as a consequence. Your approach was very concise and should serve as a an example of what TO do. Thank you and good luck. :D Thanks! As an insider to the community (or former insider, I supp... |

| Are you an adult who identifies as autistic, Asperger’s, or on the autism spectrum (PDD-NOS, etc)? Did you get diagnosed as an adult? In my previous research, I found that middle aged and older adults on the spectrum had much different experiences and relationships with the diagnosis than younger fo... |
