Treatment Decision for ASD
Researchers at Binghamton University are looking for parents of children with ASD to take an online survey about how they view themselves and make decisions. Parents will also be asked about their experience with specific treatments used for their child’s diagnosis. This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, and participants may choose to be entered into a drawing that will award $50 to each of five participants.

Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York – ASD and Gender Identity
My name is Dr. Ruth Milanaik and I am a developmental pediatrician at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York. I am writing to ask your
assistance with an important research study related to gender identity development in youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In order to examine
the impact of gender identity development in children and adolescents with ASD on social relationships, researchers at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York have devised a short anonymous questionnaire for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Your responses to this questionnaire are instrumental to better understanding how gender identity develops in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and help us to better assist individuals with ASD who may have gender-related concerns and their families.
You will find a link to a short, completely anonymous and confidential questionnaire below. It takes 10-15 minutes to complete this questionnaire, and completion is voluntary. Please also find our approval by the Institutional Review Board for this study at the end of this message.
We thank you in advance for your participation in our study! Since we are interested in getting as large and representative sample of families as possible for this study, we would be most grateful if you would also forward this e-mail to other parents of children with ASD.
Thank you.
School of Medicine, Yale University Seeks College Students with Asperger’s/ASD for Research Survey
Project Title: Experiences of College Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Successes, Struggles, Needs, and Areas for Improvement in Services Provided by Schools
Survey participants needed: Students with Asperger’s/ASD in college settings.
Dr. Fred Volkmar of the School of Medicine at Yale University, and colleagues are conducting this research project to obtain better insight into the experiences, successes, struggles, and needs of university and college students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Transitioning to the increased academic and social challenges that come along with attending university can be difficult for any student. A number of studies have shown that this can be particularly true for students with ASD, resulting in more negative experiences during their time at university/college, and higher rates of early dropouts from school. The project hopes to improve understanding of which characteristics serve to protect some students from having these difficulties, and which ones make others more vulnerable to these struggles. The project will share this information with university/college student support service representatives to enhance their ability to effectively support their students with ASD.

Stanford University Seeks Research Participants
We are currently seeking parents of children between the ages of 2-17 to complete a short 15 question online survey about their child’s day-to-day behavior. This should take about 5-10 minutes of your time.
Please visit: big-picture-survey.stanford.edu to learn more and participate!
The Wall Lab at Stanford University is utilizing machine learning to improve the detection of developmental delays. Our methods show promise for earlier and more efficient identification of these disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). By participating in this survey, you will help in the validation of these novel screening methods that have the potential to greatly improve the diagnostic process for many parents with developmental concerns about their children.
