Research Study Description

Are you a parent of an autistic child between the ages of 3 and 17 (without a co-occurring learning disability). We invite you to take part in a research project aimed at understanding and improving quality of life for parents like you. This project is being conducted by a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at the University of Leicester; this study focuses on the unique challenges faced by parents of autistic children.
The study involves completing a 25-minute online survey where you will be asked questions about your experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms as a parent of an autistic child.
At the end of the questionnaires, you will be asked if you would like to take part in a prize draw. If you wish to be entered, you will be prompted to enter an email address. This information will be kept separate from your data. The prize draw is to win one of the 15 vouchers at £20 each.
