Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is well! My name is Matthew Cat. I am 45 years old, a single parent, currently unemployed, and have a five year old child named Alex, who was diagnosed last month, May, with autism. Currently, my friends are doing a survey to better understand the parents with kids with autism. As a father with an autistic son myself, I've been helping them with outreach and connecting to other parents. I understand if you do not wish to take it as I, too, am concerned for my privacy and confidentiality. It would be great if you did, however. You needn't answer all the questions and if there are any that you do not wish to answer, you can put 'N/A.'

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this!

Sincerely,
Matthew Cat

The survey is not for everyone. It says it's only looking at autism in AMERICA

one of the questions asks how old the child diagnosed with "autism" is. I almost quit the survey, but I figured they could throw out my responses if they didn't fit criteria. What if my child has another diagnosis - autistic disorder, PDD-NOS, Aspergers, NVLD, Rett's Syndrome... etc. What is the criteria for the subjects? This is not clear and should be made clearer.

Another question asks male/female... I wasn't sure if it was referring to my child or me?

This survey needs some clarification.

Hey Eureka-C! I passed along the suggestion, and they've made the fixes you suggested.

Thanks so much for taking it! Your response is valuable to their project.
