Please could you spare just a few minutes of your time to complete this online questionnaire regarding Computer Usage by people who are on the Autistic Spectrum.

This is for a Final Year Project at University.

The link to the survey is HERE


Many Thanks

Done. I presume "High Functioning Autism" covers PDD-NOS, which is also part of the autism spectrum.

You need to have had a 'more than 6' option for number of computers, and I think it'd also be relevant to know how many people are in the household. A household with more people often has more computers than 1 or 2 (and it makes results like those about my boyfriend and I more relevant, when we regularly use 3 laptops, a tablet, and a desktop (as a server), and have quite a few more computers around that are sometimes used).

I find it interesting that I rarely see a survey that includes "on disability" under the employment question.

First, my household has 8 people in it, but only two working computers, both are laptops, though we do have several iTouches and an iPad. Second, I grossly exaggerated my interet usage. Third, this might not be the best time of year to ask how people behaved during the previous month. Finally, the Internet usage options seemed a bit ambiguous, at least to me.

I did it but a better option would have been to ask how many hours a DAY we use the computer. I can't add it up for a whole week!

The way I did it was take 24 hours, subtract the average amount of sleep I get per night, then subtract the number of hours I spend doing other activities besides computer usage, then multiply that number by 7.

Filled in. Hope it all goes well. Had to take a bit of an educated guess for weekly usage :P.

Thanks to everyone who's completed this so far!

With regard to the weekly internet usage, this was done as some people may not use the internet every day hence a true figure couldn't be recorded.
