Budgeting is of major concern to parents of children with Autism. The specialized therapy and diet, if you chose to use those, are very important. There are many resources available to help parents or people with autism. We will go into one of the least considered resources in this article.

This resource will sound strange in the beginning but keep reading. At times researchers are looking for information which will be easy for you to provide and not include any real intrusion into your life. This information can be provided in small amounts of time around the other activities in your life.

One type of research is the questionnaire. The small amount of time to fill out a questionnaire can be rewarded with cash or gift cards. One of the questionnaires in the past was looking for adults with autism who would be interested in answering questions. Those questions could be answered with assistance if needed. Assistance might be someone actually making the calls for the person with autism or someone writing responses onto the questionnaire. Although this opportunity has ended, it was very simple.

Another questionnaire is for the parent of a person with autism, whether a child or adult, to fill out online. This research questionnaire took approximately 45 minutes to fill out. A ten dollar gift card was sent to you when completed. The gift card comes within 3 weeks. This opportunity is currently open. Parents can check my blog for contact information

Sometimes research requires more or less of your time. They also can be a whole lot more intrusive into your life. Ask upfront what will be required. Researchers are required to tell you. They are supposed to tell you the benefits and possible drawbacks.
