Goldsmiths ASD Diagnosis Project

Jon

Goldsmiths are looking for people to fill out a survey:

....if anyone is interested....

Parents

  • With regards to the respondents, I am not in a position to give definitive answers as we are still analysing the data. However, we had an excellent response to the surveys, with over 1000 people (comprising adults with ASD, parents who have a child with ASD, and clinicians) completing the questionnaires.

    Regarding the data we collected from adults with ASD, the surveys will not provide an indication of the complete adult ASD population as we could only sample those who were willing to take part that could read and understand the questions, and (for the most part) respond online. However, we do have a good, diverse range of responses from this relatively high functioning group. Any limitations concerning the sample will be noted when we present the results. We are also about to start conducting in-depth interviews with a sub-sample of our respondents, so hope this will provide us with greater insights as to what is working well and what is not working so well with regards to diagnosis.

    I hope this adequately addresses your questions.
