Help with English Comp II assignment

Robert D

New Member
Hello. My name is Robert, but most people call me Robbie. I am a junior in high school, currently taking dual-credit English Comp II for college credit. This semester, we are writing about ourselves and what makes us unique. I have chosen to write a self-reflection about my life experiences with having Asperger's, also known as high-functioning autism. I have to conduct some research on others who have similar life experiences, and I personally do not know anyone. I have created a simple survey that does not collect personal information. If anyone would like to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me. See below, and it is also attached.
