We know what the PROBLEMS are, now we need some SOLUTIONS
Are you Autistic, a Parent, AND working (or have worked) in healthcare, education, social services, or research?
We are conducting the next stage of our research into autistic adults' experiences of parenting.
PARTICIPATION INVOLVES:
Completing three sequential online surveys (approx 6 weeks apart)
• Making suggestions as to good practice for supporting autistic parents
• Rating suggestions for feasibility and appropriateness
Why are we doing this study?
The limited research that exists suggests autistic parents experience significant challenges in their interactions with healthcare, education and social services. However, little attention is paid to how service providers could better support autistic parents in their parenting journey. This project seeks to establish and test a set of principles informed by autistic people who have experience both as parents and as service providers.
This autistic-led project was approved by the University of Southern Queensland Human Research Ethics Committee: ETH2026-0014
