Are you a parent of a 6 to 15 year-old child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? If so, you can participate in an important new research study on autism and bullying.  Click here to learn more.  According to the IAN:
"Bullying has been identified as a major problem for children on the autism spectrum who, because of their social deficits and other challenges, are believed to be especially vulnerable targets. Children with ASD may be harassed not only in the typical way, but also when a bully purposely "triggers" an affected child’s meltdown. The Bullying and School Experiences of Children with ASD Survey will collect information on a variety of bullying situations from a large number of families to explore the extent of these problems in the lives of children with ASD."
