My name is Kamille Roese and I am an undergraduate psychology student at UCR conducting an undergraduate Honors Capstone project. I am seeking 7- to 12-year-old children on the autism spectrum as participants in my study. I will be supervised in this study by Dr. Jan Blacher, Distinguished Professor at UC Riverside and Director of the SEARCH Autism Center.

Simply put, I am studying alexithymia, the inability to describe one’s emotions. I will be asking the student participants to take an online survey, during which they listen to three pieces of music and to answer a few items about what they felt while listening to the music. The students can stop at any time with no consequences; their data will be de-identified, coded and kept completely confidential.

To participate, kroes003@ucr.eduplease email Kamielle at kroes003@ucr.edu.
