What is it like to be an adolescent with ASD? Researchers need your feedback!

I am a doctoral student at Michigan State University and I work in schools with students who have autism spectrum disorders (ASD). My professor and I believe it’s important to hear the views of students with ASD. If you are in middle school or high school and have autism, Aspergers, or consider yourself “on the spectrum”, we want to hear from you. We’re hoping to learn more about your experiences as an adolescent with an autism spectrum disorder. Your responses are important in helping us to understand how middle and high schools can better support individuals with ASD. Please click the following link to participate in a 10-15 minute survey. Thank you in advance for your help.

Please go to: surveymonkey dot com /s/adolescentvoices

(I apologize for the multiple posts!)

Thanks for your question! The survey is only meant for adolescents, but you've prompted me to think about the valuable input that adults with ASD can offer too. I really appreciate your question and will think about how to incorporate feedback from adults in the future.

Ehh, okay...I'll do it, I guess.

Your link to the survey is confusing to me. Took me four tries to get to the right page.

Thank you for completing the survey! I apologize for the confusing link. Sometimes "dot com" is written out instead of using ".com" so that others aren't worried about spam and/or dangerous links. Thank you for your patience in figuring it out though! I really appreciate it.
