How do you explain Autism to the children siblings ?

[mluvinh]

Hi all,

As a part of my last year project at the Royal College of Art, I am looking for parents' experiences and opinions about how and when they explained what ASD was to their children, especially siblings of the child diagnosed with ASD.

Did you use any books, games, stories, or just explaining it calmly ?

I have a small survey, that is anonymous, that you could fill out here: goo.gl/xBBec it should only take 10minutes and you don't need any google account to fill it.

It would be of a great help ! I am trying to design & develop a small interactive kit to help parents explain ASD to their children, while engaging the child so that he can understand his brother/sister with ASD better !

Thank you so much for your help !

I clicked on your link but I'm afraid it's very hard to see what to do or how to fill it in. It just looks like a spreadsheet. I applaud your idea for a project but think you need to look at honing your data collection techniques. It needs to be simple and fairly quick to fill in.

I am willling to participate but will wait to see if there is a link to a better form

Suggest you use surveymonkey or similar.

I'm happy to participate but you need a better format, that form is not user friendly. As above use surveymonkey.

It looks like you have given us the link to your results sheet. Survey monkey is great and free.

hi. Again, I would have replied, but that form is bloody awful.

What's timestamp? what's sample question 2?
