Exploring the lived experiences of autistic teens living with an autistic parent
Study Flyer:
What's the study about?
We are conducting an interview-based study to better understand autistic teens’ experiences living with an autistic parent.
Who can participate?
Teens must be:
- Must be 13 to 18 years old with a formal autism diagnosis
- be living in Canada with at least one autistic parent,
- be aware of their own and their parent’s autistic identity.
What will participants be doing?
Teens will participate in an online Zoom interview with a researcher (45-90 minutes). Accommodations will be available. Parents will also complete a brief 5-minute online demographic questionnaire.
Why is this important?
This study will amplify the voices of autistic teens and give us a better understanding of their lived experiences and the dynamics of families in which both the parent and child are autistic.
