Imagine that you possess the means and the knowledge to conduct research studies about any topic in the early childhood field. Imagine further that you are not restricted by the reality of the present. Imagine that your study will make a major positive contribution to the well-being of children and/or their families. What topic would you choose? What can you imagine the positive contribution(s) would be?If I could do a research study that would make a major positive contribution to the well-being of children and there families I would have to continue on my journey to find out more information on Autism. The positive contribution that I would hope for is an way to determine the source of Autism and what causes it. If it is genetic could it be tested before the birth of a child, if autism is caused by vaccinations like some believe then why are these vaccinations causing this. I want to narrow down the cause of Autism and get to the source to find out why it is on the rise. This would be an extremely complicated research study, and would have to be narrowed down even more. I think that I would mainly focus on the genetic link to Autism and see if there is a strong correlation, and if there is what can be done to prevent Autism.
