whenever we get on of these college or Uni students wanting us to fill out a surveymonkey we could fill in their surveys with utter nonsense?what do you think??
Those seeking to do projects and theses with little preparation may decide that this forum is an easy place to conatc people who are autistic or have relatives who are. They cannot possibly know, and neither can we, the level of insight or knowledge that is possessed by the participants. Online people can be anyone, i can say i'm a six foot Iranian hairdresser and you would have no way of knowing if i was or was not. Doing research with data gained in this way is poor practice.
People doing this research are doing it to get a qualification. Whether you think it prestigious or not is irrelevant, its their goal. I have not made any 'derogatory comments' and resent you saying that i have. I have merely taken the seemingly outrageous step of not believing everything I'm told and not taking people at face value. I have not insulted anyone.
I don't feel judged or objectified. Research is constantly done on autistic people and we see little benefit from it, yet we are expected to be a compliant source of data for research projects and the like and be pathetically grateful for their intere4st in us. Many of us struggle daily with problems such as inability to sleep or be free from anxiety but these problems are never addressed by researchers.
Furthermore asking for help with such surveys is against the rules of this forum and anyone using the forum must abide by its rules. It is that and not my 'resentment' that means that this forum is not a place for researchers to seek participants in surveys.
