Clarity of aims of the research:
The research study conducted was aimed at analyzing the gratitude themes
qualitatively through the letters obtained from the mothers of the children suffering from
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD is often considered as
a lifelong developmental disability which is characterized by diagnostic criteria inclusive of
deficits in social communication as well as restricted social interaction (Autism and
Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network Surveillance Year 2010 Principal
Investigators. 2014). The paper involves the analysis of the letters received from people with
members affected by the disease. According to (Mazefsky & White, 2014), disrupted
emotional regulation is considered as one of the most important factors in the production for
abhorrent behavior in ASD. It may result in behavioral disturbance rather than a psychiatric
comorbidity. The study has been important as gratitude is considered as one of the most
important factors associated with positive outcomes of the disorder. The author has focused
on the importance of gratitude in the development of the children with ASD. Gratitude has
been shown to act as a buffer against the negative impacts of social well-being among
populations. There has been a profound relation between the overall well-being of affected
individuals and dispositional gratitude according to previous studies (Timmons, Ekas &
Jhonson, 2017). Hence, in this study the author aims to examine qualitative analysis of
gratitude as an important factor affecting children with ASD. This complies with the aim of
this study and thus the paper successfully explores the role of gratitude from the children
affected with ASD.

Quantitative analysis is defined as a securities analysis which uses judgment mainly
subjective based on the information which cannot be quantified. (Mayring, 2015). For the
quantitative analysis of the research study, interventions have chosen utilizing gratitude as an
important factor for examining positivity with mother as compared to the child. However,
type of study undertaken, for an instance semi qualitative methods have not been specified.
Moreover the reason behind qualitative analysis have not been mentioned properly. The study
has been done in two parts, the first part giving importance on the interventions for gratitude
while the second part consists of a larger study. For the larger study, the questionnaires has
been distributed through blogs, therapy providers, and online games. The information
whether open end or closed end questions have been used have been mentioned clearly as
well. Data analysis has been done through a survey platform based on internet. According to
earlier studies done on similar background, research studies conducted in the incorporation of
balance training programs among students suffering from ASD have been another useful
intervention in the treatment of children (Chedalvi et al., 2014). Thus the reasons for the
sample size taken and the analysis procedures have been discussed clearly throughout the
paper. There also has been incentives given to mothers on completion of the form. Thus,
overall the studies conducted has given clear explanation about the methodologies involved
in the intervention and the steps for data analysis after gathering of the data.
Clarity among the data analysis process
Throughout the paper involving the portion of data analysis, an in-depth analysis
process has been used. Step by step analysis of the data received form the interventions have
been mentioned (Michie et al., 2015). Thematic analysis has been used in the study and the
justification of themes used have been clarified. The survey along with the consideration of
factors like voluntary participation have been well explained. The data collected has been
