This project was sparked by an observation by a clinician from the Autism Resource Centre<\/a>. She explained that there is a real difficulty getting ASD people to remember to carry cards and\/or documentation to be read and used in difficult situations. However she notices that most people will remember to carry a mobile phone with them. So are there ways of making useful information available on such devices so it will always be available in a time of need? Is there any research on this? As I document my search methods I’m always going to try starting with broad searches then refine them to be more specific.<\/p>\n

Starting with the “Autism Data<\/a>” \u00a0collection via\u00a0The National Autistic Society Information Centre Library<\/strong>\u00a0which would seem to be a good place to start for any research of specific relevance to autism.\u00a0Let’s try the\u00a0KISS principle<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Keep It Simple Stupid.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple search on ‘phone’<\/a> Yields 24 results, search seems to be on the metadata<\/a>\u00a0of their records. Brings up records with the phrase ‘phone call’ which is a set of records mostly relating to phone surveys of parents or using phones for charity fund-raising. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a way for me to link to individual search results directly so from now I will refer to the record numbers<\/p>\n
