Plugged In: Electronics Use in Youth and Young Adults


Is your child younger than 26? Would you like to tell us about your child's electronics use? We're studying the electronics use of children, adolescents, and young adults. We would like to understand the perspectives of parents or caregivers on the benefits and problems with electronics use. The survey takes between 10-20 minutes.To learn more or participate go to:

ASD and Sexuality

In this project, we examine a variety of factors related to sexuality, relationships, and romantic experiences in young adults with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This online study takes approximately 30-45 minutes, and participants will receive a $20 gift card to a major retailer as a token of appreciation for completing the study. Participants must have a diagnosis of ASD, be between 18 and 30 years of age, and reside in Canada or the U.S.A. This study may help to inform future educational programming for adolescents and young adults with ASD and provide clinicians, educational providers, and families important information with regards to healthy sexual experiences in people with ASD.
