Background/Description
Autism Worries Survey (AWS), was developed for this study based on a review of clinical literature. The AWS was originally a 47 item close-ended measure, with open-ended follow up questions, designed to identify worries specific to the siblings of children with autism. However, due to early participant responses during the course of this study, ten items were added, resulting in a 57 item measure for all but four of the participating children.
Administration, Scoring and Interpretation
- Ensure you have a copy of the AWS questionnaire and a pen/pencil for the parent to complete it.
- Create a calm and private environment where the parent feels comfortable answering honestly.
- Provide clear instructions about the survey’s purpose and how to complete it.
- Explain that there are no right or wrong answers and their responses will be kept confidential.
