Advice needed for dissertation on AS and education

Hello everyone
I have a dd aged 6, diagnosed in February this year with Aspergers Syndrome and SPD. I have read the posts and responses on this SN page of Mumsnet ever since, though this is the first time I have posted myself. I am here most nights, and it is your ideas, suggestions and expertise that help pick me up after a difficult day; thank you.
Anyway, I?ve recently been given the opportunity to pick up my studies again after a break of a few years, and I?m hoping to do a dissertation on something to do with AS with a link to education. I know this is a really wide area, though, and so thought I?d ask whether any of you had any suggestions of an issue to focus in on. So far I?ve thought about possibly looking at transitions and school, or playtimes/lunchtimes at school, but am very open to suggestions at this stage.
I hope you don?t mind me asking, and any thoughts would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe we should start with a simple project and see how we get on. It would show how easy it is or not to co-ordinate information between various people and help us get to know how the others work.

A FOI would be an easy quick win and get the ball rolling.

I did one for ABA through the 'whatdotheyknow site' a couple of months back and made some friends 'out there' who were interested in the information. I think the potential network could be wider that way.

Don't feel obliged to use the site btw, but it is pretty easy to just cut and paste and email to an already written address. You can use certain anonymous names and still retain your right to appeal but I think the name has to be you in some way. i.e. your first initial and maiden name or something.
