Hello! My name is Matthew Chan and I am a psychology graduate student at Pacific University gathering data for my dissertation research project on the correlation of virtual world use and social satisfaction among individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This study has been approved by the Pacific University human subjects research ethics committee.
If you are:

• over the age of 18
• have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (or Asperger's Syndrome)
• a current or former user of virtual world platforms

I would appreciate no more than 10 minutes of your time to complete this survey. By participating in this study, you will also be able to enter a drawing to win a $25 Amazon gift card. For more information, please refer to the poster attached to this post.

Thank you for the gambling addiction trigger, but since I value my time, I only do surveys that offer guarantied payment.

I get some armchair diagnoses for autism, does that count? lol. I actually have a totally different, unrelated disorder, so I think I don't count

 

[Soen Eber]

Never been diagnosed but I know I have it, wish I could help. This does sound like a legit study from the face of it.

I can't imagine what some psychologist or psychiatrist or whatever would come up with if I ever went to one.

We've seen a few of them over the years. I don't if this is a repeat one.

A few different people have had vaguely similar surveys they were hoping people would fill out. I think this was the first one that asked for an autism diagnosis.

It's also the first in my memory that included this key phrase: "This study has been approved by the Pacific University human subjects research ethics committee." That's something a legit researcher would know to post.

Unfortunately for the OP, I doubt there will be enough takers here to make a decent sample. He could go in-world to recruit, but Grid knows what flotsam and jetsom he'd collect for participants.
