Seeking Adults with AS.HFA for Research Project

For a dissertation on the "relationship of personality traits and temperament traits to the occupational profile of individuals with Asperger Syndrome,†I am seeking adults 18 years old or older, with AS or HFA. Subjects will: Take two tests (MBTI and WAI) of approximately 30 minutes each. Fill out two surveys: job history and demographics. In this study, I will attempt to identify an occupational profile common to persons with AS/HFA, including the predominant characteristics that lead to poor job performance. The common occupational profile will provide a basis for the development of workplace interventions and supports that can increase the likelihood of successful job performance. If you are interested in participating in the study, or know of individuals who would be interested, please contact: Debra Scurlock, MA OTR/LDirector, Masters in Occupational Therapy2855 Circle Drive Portsmouth, Ohio 45662740-351-3272-office dscurlock@...
