Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) are conducting an online survey about experiences participating in physical activity, exercise, sport, recreation, or related research involving autistic people.

We are interested in hearing from autistic people who have participated in this type of research, as well as parents, caregivers, family members, friends, support persons, or others familiar with an autistic person’s research experience.

Eligible participants include adults and children who identify as autistic or have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and have participated in physical activity or exercise research, as well as parents, caregivers, family members, or other individuals familiar with an autistic person’s participation in this type of research. Participants must live in the United States and be able to read and understand English.

The survey asks about research experiences, including what was helpful, what was challenging, supports or accommodations provided, and how researchers could make future physical activity research more accessible and supportive.

Participation involves completing a one-time online survey with approximately 65–80 questions, which may take 15–60 minutes to complete.

Your experiences and perspectives are valuable and can help improve future research involving autistic people. Thank you for considering participating in our study!
