Parents of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders required for research study

[ABAstudent]

Dear Parents/Guardians,

My name is Arlene Mannion. I'm a 2nd year Masters of Science (MSc) student in applied behaviour analysis in National University of Ireland, Galway.

I'm currently conducting a research study for my thesis on comorbidity in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders in Ireland.
Comorbidity is the presence of one or more disorders in addition to a primary disorder. I wish to examine the presence of co-occurring psychological disorders, sleep disorders, gastro-intestinal symptoms and epilepsy. The prevalence of comorbidity in children with autism spectrum disorders has never been examined in Ireland to date, and this study aims to yield data that is currently unavailable in Ireland.

I was wondering if you would be willing to help me by filling out a questionnaire?

Please contact if you are interested in helping me with this study, or have any questions about the research. Please include your postal address if you are interested in participating, and I will send you on a questionnaire.

My email address is [email protected].

Thanking you,

Arlene Mannion
