Welcome to a series of #AutRes posts highlighting key findings of my Master’s research1 where I interviewed nonbinary autistic people about what future research about them should look like.

2. Research should be community led.

  • Participants were engaged with research and aware of participatory research approaches
  • They expressed that autistic gender diverse people should be involved in decisions and fairly compensated for their expertise at all stages of research process

Auto-generated description: Quotes from Charlotte Brooks' research participants emphasize meeting people where they are, listening, sharing knowledge, and grounding research in lived experience. *Quotes are transcribed verbatim from participants in Charlotte Brooks' research1
