ASQ fills a critical gap in the science-to-parent connection, by bringing science to parents in terms they can understand, and by bringing parents to scientific studies to advance progress. Help for families and individuals with ASD could be so much farther ahead if scientific advances could make their way to the front lines. ASQ is there to make this happen. Thanks ASQ!

One of the most outstanding resources in the field of autism—informative, reliable, and reader-friendly! From the beautiful covers that always capture my attention, to the content that holds it, ASQ secures and expands the bridge between research and practice, ultimately bringing parents, professionals, and people with ASD closer to one another. To state it simply, ASQ is the best!

I just finished reading the current ASQ (with Geri Dawson on the cover). Your magazine is so interesting to read. It’s really wonderful how you are able to combine serious science with parent priorities. I’ve recommended ASQ to many parents who have written to me for ASD information. Time to renew—I’ll look forward to future issues!

In this age of instant messaging and email, a quarterly is not usually a “happening place” for news. But Autism Spectrum Quarterly breaks that mold! With its “Newsbriefs” and research summaries, ASQ does an incredible job of delivering the latest research findings so that parents and professionals can keep current.

Part of attracting research participants is about good communication, and your journal is, I think, a fantastic example of that; helping parents to understand what we’re doing; why we’re doing it; and why it’s important... I love your publication. I always look forward to reading it, and I always put it in our waiting room at UW.

Coach Calhoun loved the article and the notes from Jeff, Amy, Jim, Jen, and the grandkids. I read the article too. You did a fabulous job and really captured what the Calhoun family is all about. You should be very proud of your work! Great job!

Julie and I really appreciate having ASQ as a resource we can point parents toward. We’re impressed that ASQ offers really helpful information to everyone from parents dealing with new diagnoses to autism spectrum “veterans”.

I have been a regular reader of ASQ for some time now and it never fails to deliver! There is such a range of articles—from personal stories, the latest scientific research, and advice for parents, to articles by leading specialists in autism, interviews, and the list goes on. I recommend it for parents and professionals alike.

I received the spring 2007 issue of ASQ recently and I was so impressed by the high quality of all the articles, including the one you wrote on my work. In fact, I’m mailing in my subscription request today. You are providing a terrific service to the autism community.

ASQ is an absolutely wonderful magazine. It’s the best autism magazine and none of the other magazines can even come close.

Many thanks for a first class edition! Every single article had direct relevance either to my own research or practice, or to those of my students or parents. I’ve torn the copy to bits to pass along these wonderful pieces!

The fall 2006 issue had a great range of input, perspectives and ideas for grandparents, parents, and others. Material such as this can make a tremendous difference in people’s lives. Great job!
