Penn State Research - Looking for adolescent siblings of individuals with ASD!

[Guest guest]

Hello! My name is Dengler, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department

of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Penn State.

I hope that you can help me with some exciting research. I would like to learn

about the experience of being a sibling of an individual with autism spectrum

disorder (ASD). I understand that siblings have many different experiences, and

am interested in learning about how having a sibling with ASD currently impacts

your life.

I am inviting adolescent siblings of individuals with ASD to join an online

discussion group. I want to learn about the experiences of those siblings and

how being a sibling of an individual with ASD affects your life currently. I

would like to learn about the issues that siblings feel are unique and specific

to having a brother or sister with ASD. I plan to share what I learn with each

participant and other siblings of children with an ASD.

If you or your child is an adolescent sibling of a person with ASD, please

consider participating in this important study. If you have questions, please

e-mail me at LFD116@... or call me at . Parental consent is

required for individuals under the age of 18.
