My name is Keli Blankenship and I am a graduate student at Spalding
University.  I am currently working on my dissertation and am
recruiting volunteers to participate in a research study examining
parental stress, mood, and quality of life of parents raising
children with autism spectrum disorders. This research is under the
supervision of Dr. Steve Katsikas, the department chair at Spalding
University.  To participate, you must be the parent of a child
diagnosed with Autistic Disorder, Asperger's Syndrome, or Pervasive
Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) between
the ages of 4 and 18. 

Your participation will help us learn more about the unique
challenges of raising a child with an autism spectrum disorder. 
Additionally, we hope to determine whether there are any factors that
may be related to positive coping (resiliency factors). 
If you are interested in participating in the study, it is easy to
complete through an online survey.  You will be completely
anonymous.  It should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.  To
access the survey and participate in the study please click on the
following link.

Questions about the study can be directed to me at

You may email us to request a summary of the study's findings when
the study is complete. Thank you for your time.
