Hi ,

I'd be interested. Not sure you need to know right now, but our oldest son is almost 15 and has a dx of Aspergers, ADHD and OCD.

Another son is 10 and has a dx of ADD and Slow Processing.

Contact me anytime if you'd like us to be a part of this!!!Have a great day!!!Robin Lemke

Hello! My name is Dengler and I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Penn State University. I work with Dr. Drager and Dr. n Finke.We hope that you can help us with some exciting research. We would like to learn about the experience of being a parent of a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We recognize that parents have many different experiences, and we are interested in learning about how having a child on the autism spectrum affects how you parent your child.We are inviting parents of children with an ASD to join an online discussion group (focus group) over a period of approximately 4-6 weeks. We want to learn about the experiences of those parents and how they compare to parents in similar situations. We would like to learn about the issues that parents feel are unique and specific to having a child with an ASD. We plan to share what we learn with each

participant and other parents of children with an ASD.If you are a parent who has a child with an ASD, please consider participating in this important study. For more information about this research, please contact me at lfd116@... or via phone at (814) 867-3375.Thanks!
