Online Study on Gender Identity & Social Development (Ages 6-25)
This anonymous survey is for a parent of a child with ASD who is between the ages of 6 – 25 years old. It takes 10-15 minutes to complete this questionnaire, and completion is voluntary. Your responses to this questionnaire are instrumental to better understanding how gender identity develops in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and will help us to better assist individuals with ASD who may have gender-related concerns and their families. The way in which children and adolescents with ASD develop their gender identity remains under-examined, and your responses to this questionnaire will help us to better assist children and adolescents with ASD who may have gender-related concerns.
This research study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of Northwell Health, and a copy of this approval is available upon request (aadesman@northwell.edu).
We thank you in advance for your participation in our study! Since we are interested in getting as large and representative sample of families as possible for this study, we would be most grateful if you would also forward this information to other parents of children ages 6 – 25 years old with ASD.

Emergency Preparedness for Wildfires
WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS
Wildfires can quickly become life-threatening and cause serious hazards with dire consequences. Learn what to do to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Before a Wildfire…
Protect Your Family
Make sure you have access to a local radio news station or an emergency service channel in your local area:
- Search for an application (app) for the local radio station and/or emergency service channel in the Apple Store or on Google Play
- Purchase a battery-powered or hand-crank NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NOAA Radio)
Be prepared to evacuate quickly. Locate a local emergency shelter ahead of time and know your routes and safe destinations. Set that emergency shelter as the family meeting place. Pack a to-go bag which should include:
- medications and cash
- extra clothing – in case you have to evacuate
- flashlights, cell phones, portable chargers and radios plus extra batteries
- a first aid kit
- bottled water
Protect Your Home
- Enroll in wildfire protection service offered by your insurance carrier.
- Store outdoor equipment and patio furniture to prevent an ember from catching and spreading the fire.
- Reduce fuel around your home such as a woodpile, undergrowth or grass welcome mats.
- Close structure entryways, garage doors and windows.
- Clean gutters and roofs of debris.
- Install a water tank, pumps or sprinkler systems for use in the event of a wildfire.
- Turn off utilities – if told to do so by authorities – to prevent damage to your home or within the community. Note, all gas shut/turned off must be turned back on by a professional.
- Keep insurance policies, documents, and other valuables in a safe-deposit box – you may need quick, easy access to these documents.
- Take a few minutes to document the contents of your home with digital pictures or video and create a room by room inventory list.
During a Wildfire…
- Listen to local area radio, NOAA Radio or television stations for the latest information and updates.
- Never go back to an impacted area. Winds and fire are extremely unpredictable and may cut off all escape routes.
After a Wildfire…
- Only return to your residence when authorities say it is safe to do so.
- Continue listening to local news or NOAA Radio for updated information and instructions.
Safety Precautions At Home
- Keep away from loose or dangling power lines. Report them to the power company immediately.
- Inspect your home’s structure, utilities and systems after a wildfire:
- Take pictures of home damage, both of the buildings and their contents, for insurance purposes.
