22.01.2022 Did you know that the prevalence of ASD in Australia is thought to be 1-2% for those under 15? Given the number of Facebook friends, this means you're pretty likely to know several people who have been diagnosed with ASD! Unless you are diagnosed with ASD, or you've had close personal experience, you probably don't know a lot about it. Resources like Tony Attwood's website are great at providing a deeper understanding that isn't too science-y! Check out Tony's description of Asperger's Syndrome (which is now considered part of the Autism Spectrum) here: http://www.tonyattwood.com.au/about-asper/what-is-aspergers

Every individual who participates in the research will be provided with a $20 AUD Coles e-gift card in recognition of their time!... Head to https://goo.gl/LXco8i to help make a difference!

10.01.2022 Did you know that we are the ONLY group in Canberra conducting research related to the experience of teenagers with High Functioning ASD, and how likely they are to experience mental health problems?! And one of only a few groups in Australia?! Our research is going to make an immense difference to the lives of teens with HFA, but we can't make that difference if we don't get the number of participants we need for our research!

06.01.2022 Are you on the Autism Spectrum and over 18 years of age? You are invited to participate in a research project! The research examines autistic traits in individuals. In particular, the study aims to revise an existing screening questionnaire for Autism Spectrum Disorder to ensure that it is able to effectively identify both males and females that might lie on the Autism Spectrum. We propose that, as it stands, some females may be slipping through the screening and diagnostic... process. We hope that this can be improved! The study involves the completion of a quick anonymous questionnaire. If you would like to participate, please follow this link: https://anu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/ Your participation is much appreciated!

03.01.2022 Did you know that people diagnosed with ASD experience higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression when compared to the general population? Our research wants to change that!

01.01.2022 Interested in helping us understand the impact of stress on teenagers with ASD? There is almost NO research in this area, which means there is so much we don't know. Participating could make a huge difference!
