mburnard Report post Posted July 15, 2020 Hello all! My name is Mark Burnard and I am an Industrial-Organizational Psychology Ph.D. student at Florida International University. I'm currently conducting a research study investigating the effects of workplace characteristics (social, environmental, etc.) on autistic employees' attitudes and well-being. I am inviting adults (18+) on the autism spectrum who currently work in an office setting to participate. Those who are currently unemployed but worked in an office setting leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic are also eligible. The survey will take approximately 25 to 35 minutes to complete and is strictly confidential. Those who complete the survey will receive $15 (USD) in the form of an Amazon eGift card. To participate or ask me questions please use my contact in the flyer. Thank you for your time, Mark Burnard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aut_Scot Report post Posted July 15, 2020 I am not eligible to take part in this as I haven't worked in an office environment for over ten years, but I'll make a comment. I am male (on the autistic spectrum) and was moved from a room where I was the sole occupant of, into a predominantly female office of about twelve people about eleven years ago. I found it hard going as the conversation often was about female topics, which as a male I couldn't join in with or felt inhibited from joining in with. I felt out of place and eventually I concluded that I was feeling a form of (unintended) ostracism. Due to spending cuts, my post was cut the following year.
