Dear Parents,

Warm greetings from the Research Rising Stars team.

One of our Research Rising Stars students is currently conducting an innovative Autistic AI Research Survey focused on exploring how artificial intelligence can better support children on the autism spectrum. This project aims to understand how AI tools may help enhance:

• Social interaction
• Cognitive development
• Mobility skills
• Creative expression, especially in artistically inclined children

To make this research meaningful and impactful, we are seeking valuable input from parents. Your insights and experiences are essential in helping us design thoughtful, evidence-informed solutions that can positively benefit children and society at large.

We kindly request that you take a few minutes to complete the survey form. Your participation will significantly contribute to the advancement of this student-led research initiative.
