Research Study Description

If you meet the following criteria, I would love to hear your story:
– A Southern United States resident
– A Black father 18 or older
– A cisgender (gender-typical) male
– An English-speaking male
– Raising (or have raised) a child with autism, ages 2-18 years
– The primary caregiver or significantly involved in the child’s life

This voluntary study aims to capture the personal experiences, perspectives, and journey of Black fathers who are, unfortunately, largely absent from autism literature and research. Participants may opt out at any time!

Thank you for your time and consideration!
