Posting for someone who needs a little help:
Hi everyone, my name is Temala Baker. I am an autistic autism researcher and am training to become a clinical psychologist. As part of my training, I am leading a study about neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapy practices. I would greatly appreciate your input. Your perspective and lived experiences are powerful.
Participating involves completing an anonymous online survey about how your therapist (past or present) interacted with you as an autistic individual and how you felt about it. You can participate whether you are self-diagnosed or clinician-diagnosed (both are equally valid), but must be at least 18 years old and in the US or Canada. Individuals with or without Intellectual Disability are also welcome. As a thank-you, there is a raffle for a $25 gift card of your choice that you can enter at the end (multiple winners).

The link above will take you to the informed consent form and provide more information. From there, you can decide whether to proceed.
Also, I’d like to thank the admins for giving me permission to share this in the group.
Temala Baker at Idaho State University is doing this study. The study is about therapy for autistic adults. It examines what helps make therapy feel supportive for people with autism. It also examines how therapists help people feel supported.
