Hi Special_talent 123, I've just had a look at the survey, and it seems to be working OK, and the 'next' button is there on the bottom right hand side of each page. Depending on your computer screen size, you may need to scroll down a little bit to see the 'next' button. Hope this helps. Kind regards Lisa

Hi Mel, That's so interesting, and very much how John describes it for himself. He's never really understood why people say they feel hungry or thirsty. At times, he gets dizzy, which reminds him he needs to eat. Thanks so much for your post.

Hi everyone, My name's Lisa, and I've received moderator approval from Lufty to put this new topic on the forum. My husband's been diagnosed with Asperger's, and one of the things he's always told me is that he hardly ever feels hungry or thirsty. I'm also a student researcher at University of Southern Queensland, Australia, and we've put together a short survey asking people with a diagnosed ASD about these issues, and how it is for them. If you are over 18 and have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, autistic disorder or PDD-NOS, University of Southern Queensland would like to invite you to take part in a research project, which is an online self-report questionnaire. It should only take you about 10-15 minutes to complete. What? The purpose of the research is to better understand how adults with and without autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) perceive and interpret internal bodily sensations - feelings that include hunger, thirst and temperature. Your participation in this research will valuably contribute towards a better understanding of this area, and may help provide better outcomes for people with ASDs. Also undertaking this survey may benefit you in gaining a deeper understanding about body awareness, and how this is one of the 'other' senses in our bodies. How?
