As the recipient of a Fulbright Research grant to India, Dasal will examine parents’, teachers’ and health care providers’ knowledge of autism in the Tibetan community in Dharamsala, India. In particular, she is interested in the role that culture plays in the presentation, screening and diagnosis of autism in this community.

While there she also plans to teach English and, with her research findings, publish a pamphlet on Autism Spectrum Disorder which is specific to the needs and beliefs of the Tibetan community.
