New Research Study on Autism
Parental Stress: A Comparative Study of Single and Multiple Birth Children with Autism

Parenting children who are diagnosed with autism comes with its own list of joys and stresses. Our newest research partner wants to know more. The purpose of this study is to examine parental stress levels of caregivers who have children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Damion Garcia, under the advisement of Dr. Nancy Segal from California State University, Fullerton, is studying parental stress in families with single and multiple birth children with autism. Participants take an online survey that takes about 15 or 20 minutes to complete.

Learn more about the study on our website, or you can access the survey link directly.
