Research Study Description

Hello,

I am reaching out as part of the Double Rainbow Lab at the University of Calgary (see more information about our lab here: https://double-rainbow-lab.dudasites.com/). We conduct research focused on LGBTQ+ and autistic mental health and well-being, with an emphasis on strengths-based and affirmative practice. We are currently recruiting participants for a study focused on the intersectional labels of autistic sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).

Participants must be 18+, autistic (self-diagnosed or formally diagnosed), and use an intersectional label to describe either their gender or sexual orientation (e.g., autigender, others).

Organization:  University of Calgary and University of Massachusetts Boston
