[rbh757]

Hi all! My name is Ryan, and I am running an independent research study to validate the Autism Spectrum Diagnostic Index (ASDI), a 50-item questionnaire about social communication, sensory experiences, and routines.

• Who: Adults 18+, autistic and non-autistic are both welcome
• Time: ~15–20 minutes, mobile friendly
• Compensation: None (voluntary)
• Privacy: Anonymous, no names/emails collected; you can stop anytime
• Note: ASDI is not a diagnostic tool or medical advice

Take part:

Autism Spectrum Diagnostic Index (ASDI)

Not anonymous!

You must sign in using one of the popular social media accounts. I'd prefer to take my chances giving my personal details to some random uni student than trust the likes of Google and Facebook.

Even though I don't believe anonymity really exists in any sense, I'm definitely not signing into that and giving you (OP, someone I don't know) my full name and god-knows-what-else.

I'd love to help otherwise but not with that in place. If you change your policy, I'll gladly lend a hand and complete your survey.

What is very interesting is that there is no background on who really is offering this. Like is this tied to university research, or a corporate marketing strategy? It's way too vague.

Your first lesson, Ryan...

We're smarter than you thought.

Interesting to see the term "Autism Spectrum Diagnostic Index" while claiming "ASDI is not a diagnostic tool or medical advice". A bit of a contradiction here...

Many of us are a suspicious lot for good reason. Where we've learned through some bitter encounters not to be exploited in any way. -Particularly online.
