Research Study Description

We are researchers at UMass Amherst seeking participants for the Barriers to Diagnosis and Autistic Identity in Young Adults (Protocol #7211) study. This study visit includes one, 2.5 hour lab visit where you will complete questionnaires and be administered the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2, which is a series of tasks and interview questions. If you are interested in participating, please know that the study team will take a video recording of you while you are completing the ADOS-2. Participants will be compensated $20 for completing study procedures, and can request a research report of their results.

If you are interested in participating in this research, please fill out our study screener (which can also be accessed via the QR code).

You do not have to live in Massachusetts to participate in this study, but the study visit does need to take place in Massachusetts. We can do this at UMass Amherst or look into other alternatives in different parts of the state.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email [email protected] and I would be happy to answer your questions.
