About the study: We are conducting an interview-based study to better understand autistic adolescents’ experiences living with an autistic parent. Our goal is to better understand their perspectives and the dynamics of families with a shared autistic identity.

Eligibility: Teens must: 1) be 13 to 18 years old with a formal autism diagnosis, 2) be living in Canada with at least one autistic parent, and 3) be aware of their own and their parent’s autistic identity.

What is involved: The study will involve an online Zoom interview between the teen and a researcher (45-90 minutes) in which accommodations will be made available. Also, parents will be asked to complete brief 5-minute online demographic questionnaire.

Participating families will receive a $25CAD e-gift card of their choice (Starbucks, Amazon, Uber).
