[Guest guest]

Looks like a "good 'un." I've written the principal researcher asking her to make the extended description of this project available in a more universal format than .docx. I suggested conversion to PDF, which is quite accessible to nearly everyone. From what I've read of the project, quite worthwhile! N. Meyer NT-AS Relationship Dyads > >NT-AS Relationship Dyads > > > >Dr Abel & Dr Rebekah Doley from Bond University (Australia) are conducting research into the relationship experiences of both partners within neurotypical – Asperger relationship dyads. Specifically, the aim of the research is to investigate the extent to which each partner perceives there to be a match between their expectations about how relationships function and the reality of their own relationship. > > > >Questions regarding the match between relationship ideals and relationship reality, partner ideals and partner reality, as well as conflict resolution ideals and conflict resolution reality are the focus of Part 1 of the research program. The second component of the research program (Part 2) focuses specifically on partners’ experiences with relationship counselling. Specifically, we are seeking to investigate couples’ experiences with counselling when that counselling has taken place with a psychologist. > > > >The inclusion criteria for Part 1 of the research program is that the AS partner have a formal diagnosis of AS or there has been a formal recognition by a mental health care professional (e.g., psychologist; psychiatrist) that the partner most of the diagnostic criteria for AS. The inclusion criterion for Part 2 of the research program is that the individual has attended therapy with a psychologist either on their own or with their partner specifically for relationship counselling / assistance.
