Urgent Questionnaire!

Hi all, below I have made a questionnaire to ask you about a few questions concerning autism and how it affects young people’s lives for a survey of sorts. It would be very helpful if you could answer them with brutal honesty.

1: As a parent or carer of a child with autism, what are some difficulties your child can face when it comes to emotional expression and social communication? 

2: Do you feel as if there is an emotional barrier between you and the child, distancing you from each other through lack of communication?  

3: How does autism affect your child in terms of school life? 

4: Have you ever considered using interactive products as tools to develop your child’s emotional expression and communication?

5: Do you think your child would benefit from one? 

Thanks for taking the time to read through this.

    You are a busy person...but can I ask if your remit is to focus firstly on posts relating to children with ASD or parents struggling....

    i ask as on the autistic adult forum there are individuals struggling with employment, relationships (both abusive and non abusive) as well as suicide. Does the term high functioning mean that we are better equipped to deal with these?

    this is not a derogatory post but a curious one.

  •  - so this thread will be locked.

    (...Not so just yet, if I can Post here?)

    ...But at last, I was wondering if this would happen to this Thread --- BUT it is NOT a BAD Thread/Topic.

    ...To both Miss Mod and Miss Elephant, it would be nice to begin a new Thread asking the same questions... But probably not all at once... and mostly rephrased so that it is not obviously a "survey" or for, as Nicky-Mod says "for research purposes".

    Sorry I have no experienced answers myself, as I am neither a parent nor a carer; ...But, these are darned good questions which deserve answers, and then Miss Elephant poses yet more darned good questions, Thank You.

  • Here's a little experiment. Log out of this forum and watch how the forum posts change, you will notice some disappear, if you put a little scrutiny in you will find a common theme, they are critical ones.

    The other interesting one is if you are in the doghouse each and every post you make will have about 15 subscribers instantly.

    Don't forget this is a £100 MILLION pound a year business, their need to protect their brand image come above all else, well except protecting their paymasters, the tories.
