autism research survey

[mellowtigger]

Several people reading here either have or know people who have autism diagnoses, so I thought I'd pass along this information in case someone else would like to participate.

An Assistant Professor (of Geography (???)) at Queen's University in Canada is conducting a survey titled:
Autism Online: The Social and Cultural Implications for Individuals on the Spectrum

The survey is designed to be anonymous, but you may specifically include your name and contact information in one of the questions if you so desire.  You will need to visit the following webpage, then read the introductory letter (pdf format) to get the address for the actual survey.

Are you going to the support group tonight?

Sorry, just saw the message. No, I went to a related event though. AHS does training for therapy animals, and I went tonight to a sort of introductory session for humans. I've read that training service dogs (not just therapy dogs) for specific autistic individuals ends up costing about $15,000, so I've been wondering if there are cheaper (more efficient) ways of getting things done. I just wanted extra background information, so I went to the intro class tonight.
