• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hello everyone, I am a psychological associate (school psychologist) currently completing my dissertation on the online experiences of adolescents on the autism spectrum. The details of the study are below; if you or anyone you know would be interested please have them contact me! And since I am here, if anyone has any questions about ASD I'd be happy to answer them as well! :wave:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you, your child, or someone you know is 12-18 years of age, with a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism, and enjoys using the internet (at least 3 times per week), please continue reading! I would love to hear from them for my research study!

For my dissertation I am completing a study on the online experiences of adolescents on the autism spectrum. I am interested in learning about the types of activities these adolescents engage in while on the computer and the Internet, their likes/dislikes about going online, and how their online experiences impact their everyday lives with others online and offline.

Participation in this study involves a one-time, 1-hour interview conducted over Skype on this topic. All identifying information will be removed from the data collected for this study. Pseudonyms will be assigned, and participants' real names will not be shared with anyone without permission. A $50 gift card will be provided as a token of appreciation for the participant's time.

If you or someone you know meets the criteria for this study and would like to participate, please express your interest by contacting me at ASDonlineresearch@gmail.com by July 20, 2014.
