I have posted an informal survey of ALS versus different types of occupations/occupational exposure.
If anyone would be interested in participating, it is a short 7 questions, and is totally anonymous.
Much research has been done on specific singular occupations, but I 'm looking to get a non specific occupational picture of the general ALS population.
If the data proves to contain predominant trends, I plan to send the final survey data to Steve Perin at ALS TDI. I will also publish the final results on my sister's blog at:

Thanks in advance if you contribute, either as a PALS, or on behalf of a PALS.
