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.

1. Research should include a diverse range of people and experiences.

  • My participants felt autism research did not represent the diversity of the autistic community or fully consider how identities may intersect
  • They noted how the voices of gender diverse people, people of colour, and non-speaking autistic people are missing from research

Auto-generated description: Quotes from Charlotte Brooks' research participants question the visibility of nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, and gendervague individuals, and states that research often focuses on white people. *Quotes are transcribed verbatim from participants in Charlotte Brooks' research*1
