The purpose of this survey is to better understand seizures in individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The survey should take 5-20 minutes to complete, depending on the number of treatments you have tried for seizures. The survey is designed to skip over irrelevant questions, to help make it faster for everyone. Specifically, it will skip questions about seizure treatment that you do not have experience with. Towards the end of the survey there are pages in which you can specify treatments that are not otherwise listed. If you choose to add this information please list one treatment per page.
The survey asks questions regarding types of seizures you have observed, whether seizures have seasonal variations or vary when allergies flare, and specific questions regarding medications you have used to treat seizures and their efficacy. We will also ask about supplements and whether they have had an effect on seizures. Several questions ask for the age of your child at certain points in time. Please answer these in years and use a decimal to indicate a fraction of a year. For example, a children that is 2 and a half years old would be 2.5 years of age. If you have more than one child with seizures, please answer the survey for each child. Please note that if you want to go backwards and change your answers, you must answer all of the questions on the current page before going backwards. Questions with a star (*) next to the number must be answered to move on in the survey
We thank you for your time in completing this survey, as this is extremely valuable information.
