Autism and Sensory Perception

lucy041992

My name is Lucy and I am new to here . I just wanted ask whether anyone would be interested in filling in one my questionnaires relating to sensory issues and autism. I am in my final year of my degree and I have chosen as part of my final piece, my dissertation to look into this area. I am personally very interested in this as my sister is autistic and she herself is very sensory but also from a professional side also as I work with a child with ASD during term time and work for a charity working with SEN children and adults during the holidays. I am gathering opinions and views from both parents and professionals to gain a more rounded view on the subject and to see whether professionals and parents have the same outlook and also the differing views of persons working with SEN children in mainstream schools opposed to SEN schools. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who would take the time to fill this in as this is a subject I am very passionate about! Autism is often misunderstood by many and the more research that is done the more we can help and support persons with ASD. Also if there are any individuals with Autism on here who would like to contribute their thoughts that would be fantastic. The questionnaire is aimed at parents/carers as I am on a Childhood education degree, however, to gain the views of older persons who actually can tell the story from their own perspective would be unbelievably valuable so please let me know :)

Thanks again J

  • I am sorry you feel like that but I can ensure confidentiality as it annoymous, there are no names, schools, areas mentioned. I understand that this forum is a great resource for seeking advice from others and I offended that you would think that I would take advantage of this. I am one of the people that have previously used this site to gain more information and advice about ASD as I am one of my sisters main carers and I am very passionate about raising awareness of Autism and helping others to better understand and support persons with ASD. If you had looked at the questionnaire it would be clear that the questions are just seeking further information about the subject so that it gives a deeper insight when researching. If I had created a discussion to discuss other peoples experiences of sensory issues I would still have been gaining more information, however, I wanted to make sure that  was gaining information in an ethically approved way and letting people know that I would use the information to build upon in my research. I am sorry that you feel that this is unacceptable as I have received positive feedback from other parent support groups who are supportive of the disseration subject and this is why I posted my questionnaire link in case others may want to contribute their experiences.
