Study for ASD interventions

I've tutored children with ASD for the last 9 years as an ABA therapist. My nephew who I help raise is on the spectrum which has had an impact on our family but also the reason why I have chosen my career path. I'm now devoting my time to do full time research on Autism as my day job. But unlike much of the research, I'm more interested in active interventions that help with children today.

Having worked with many children and my nephew on the spectrum, I have started a research study with a partner who has a Phd in computational biology. We're currently trying to understand how interventions are trial and error-red, how parents choose interventions, if gene testing plays a part, if diets/medicines/supplements are chosen in any specific order and how data is recorded.

We've created a questionnaire and would appreciate it if parents interested in our study would participate by filling it out. We promise all of the data will be anonymised.

Here's the questionnaire:

Thank you in advance. It means a lot, especially as like many of you, my family has been researching diets/biomedical interventions and therapies for 9 years now. :)
