So I'm not a parent. But I do take care of my baby brother, 14 but he's still the baby of the family and the only not an adult, and the second youngers brother, but he doesn't count for this particularlness since he was diagnosed with Bipolar with autism traits. Can I still take it? [part because I like surveys and the other because I wanted to help]

No worries, its always nice to hear that people want to help :). If you're a significant caregiver (either main or shared main responsiblities) you can take this survey. If you are taking responsiblity for a young adult (who is dependent on you) with ASD then you can count them as being under your care, and thus 'your child' for the sake of the wording. At the end of the survey, there is a question asking if the child or young adult suffers from any other co morbid physical or mental issues if you want to add it in. If you are not the responsible caregiver of a family member with ASD but for one without ASD, you can still do the study and just say that you are 'your child' (the one you are responsible for) does not have ASD.

It's down to your own judgement on whether or not you think you are a significant caregiver for your younger siblings.

Thank you for your post

Hi everyone.

I'm still collecting data if anymore lovely fantastic people are willing to spare a few minutes to fill in my quick survey. It asks parents about their stress and attitudes towards help seeking.

I have set the date on March 12th to stop collecting data. I'll have the abstract up here for early April at the latest. Thank you again for all your help, its been an uphill battel trying to get my sample and every person helps.

Thanks again!!
