This week in ISM I researched perceived social support and quality of life of parents with children with autism. I found this to be a very important thing for me to understand, as the premise of my project is to foster a united and cohesive relationship between parents and children. Also as families of children with autism often have high levels of depression and anxiety, obtaining adequate social support is a key factor in improving their mental health status. In terms of this week I am going to continue to gather data for my final product. I am planning on focusing on the functional capabilities of autistic children, for the sake of predicting their future status and ability to possibly live independently. Moreover, this week is the research showcase so I am so excited. I can’t wait to express all the knowledge I have accumulated over the school year during the showcase. Also as my mentor will be there, and we have currently been doing virtual visits because of Covid, I am so ecstatic to get to see her in person. I am beyond happy to finally articulate my passion and interest for neuroscience to all that are in attendance!
