Research Study Description

I am conducting a research study under the University of Kansas, aimed at understanding how the design of office environments impacts productivity and stress levels in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD). This research is part of a broader effort to create more inclusive and supportive workspaces for individuals with ASD.

This study will explore specific office design features such as lighting, noise levels, and workspace layout, and their effects on both productivity and stress for adults with ASD.

Participants will be asked to complete an online survey, which will take approximately 5-10 minutes of your time. Please note that all responses are completely anonymous to ensure your privacy, and no personally identifiable information will be collected. There are no anticipated risks associated with participating in this voluntary study.

Eligibility Criteria:
• Age: 18-65 years old
• Must work in an office environment
• Individuals who self-identify as being on the autism spectrum

Name of Organization:
Kaitlyn McGriff, 4th year Architecture Student at Univ. of Kansas
