Sign up for “ASDGP”
We’re looking for students to take part in an online study about how people process written language. Autistic participants are especially needed, and self-diagnosed autistic participants are welcome! There is no preference or advantage given to autistic or non-autistic participants.
Participation includes a short background questionnaire and a self-paced task involving reading sentences and answering comprehension questions. The duration of the task will depend on participants’ reading speed but should take no longer than 1 hour. The entire study will take place entirely online.
This study is being conducted by an autistic student researcher who understands that sharing diagnostic information is highly personal. Participation is voluntary, and all identifying information will be kept strictly confidential.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR PARTICIPATION
- Be current UIUC students (undergraduate or graduate)
- Be 18 or older
- Be a native English speaker
- Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision (glasses/contacts are OK)
