Student Bio:
I am interested in the human brain and mental illness. I have done many years of research on how the environment and mental state affect each other. For college, I plan on pursuing a business degree--though that is still being decided--and will eventually pursue my many interests.

Poster Title: Childhood Poverty in Relation to Autistic Adults
Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects around 54 million people. Prior research has found connections between poverty and those who have ASD--more specifically how poverty affects children with autism. The pre-existing research led to the creation of this research paper which studies the effects of low income childhoods on the mental and physical health--stress levels, healthcare access, and any long-term conditions--of autistic adults in the United States.
	In order to fully assess the effects of low income childhoods on autistic adults in the US, there were three methodology tools utilized: a series of quantitative data within a questionnaire, qualitative data as collected by the questionnaire, and interviews both online and face-to-face. 
	Results are still in the process of being collected. The abstract will be edited to include results by March 12th.
