survey about writing

Post Reply New Topic

Hello everyone,

Would you consider filling out a survey about a writing experience you've had whether for work, school, or a personal piece of writing? From the discussions here, I've read that many of you are applying for jobs, and that certainly involves writing some documents as well.

I'm a writing researcher at West Virginia University and I've been studying how those with ASD/AS manage writing tasks. We hope, from this research, to learn about tips and techniques we might be able to try in the classroom and/or the writing center. This survey has been approved by my university's review board.

Here's the link to the survey:

It takes about 20 minutes to complete. Thanks for your consideration-- I really look forward to reading your insights about this important issue.

It was a pretty good survey, the questions were not baffling

I completed the survey but I am confused. Do people with AS have any more trouble learning to write than the rest of the population?

Thank to all of you who took time to complete the survey-- I really appreciate your help with this research.

Glasstoria-- great! I tried to make the questions pretty straightforward. Thanks for your input!

Rob, that's one thing that I hope to understand more from doing this research. It seems to me that certain parts of writing might be more difficult for some people with ASD/AS, such as dealing with audience. In the writing centers where I've worked we try to help people both NT and not. But, it would be wonderful to have some tips and techniques that folks with ASD/AS have used successfully for when our tutors aren't as familiar with what assistance students with ASD/AS might want. I am sure that we have much to learn yet.

In any case, thanks again for your help with the research.
