The purpose of this dissertation is to gather, record, and interpret data regarding parental perception of causes of autism. I want to explore if there is a relationship between trust in medical professionals, where parents are getting their information from, and their beliefs in the cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in their child. Individuals will be asked to answer several questions related to their beliefs around the cause of autism in their child. The survey portion is designed to take 10-15 minutes from any electronic device. There is an optional area to leave participant contact information for a follow-up call designed to last 15 minutes. Participants may contact the researcher at any time for questions or to withdraw. To participate, individual must be1) Parent is at least 18 years old; 2) Parent(s) of children aged 12 years and younger at the time of taking this; 3) Child must have received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder between 2020-2025; 4) Family must have lived in the US since at least 2020.
