The Institute
for Autism Research and Department of Psychology recently
received a $379,731 federal grant from the National Institutes of
Health’s National Institute on Aging to examine the relationship between
aging and aspects of ASD in older adults.
We
are asking for your help in this new program of research. Please reach out to
older friends and family members who might be willing to participate in this
study. You can also participate yourself.
The
focus of this grant is on individuals age 65 and older. However, participants
are not required to be 65 and older and they do not need a diagnosis of ASD to
participate in this study. An important component of this research project is
the assessment of adults of all ages with varying degrees of ASD
characteristics from none – high.
To participate, simply
go to: canisius.edu/iar_aging.
Study
participants will complete approximately 30-90 minutes of internet based
questionnaires and tasks. The timing will depend on your preferred pacing.
Participants will be characterized on multiple domains of aging including
physical health, cognitive performance, characteristics of ASD and
psychological well-being.
Please
be aware that you are under no obligation to participate. Your participation in
this research will in no way impact your relationship with Canisius or the
services you could receive in the future from the IAR or community-based ASD
service programs.
If you have any
questions, please contact Jennifer Lodi-Smith, associate professor of
psychology, at lodismij@canisius.edu or (716) 888-2513.Submitted by: Jennifer
