Autism_CU

We are a growing group of students and professors who are engaged in research into the lived experience of autistic students. We are committed to participatory co-production of research with both autistic and non-autistic researchers and students to ensure that we conduct research that is useful, trustworthy, and valid for autistic people and those who support them.

We are supported by:

2. Carleton University COVID-19 Rapid Research Response Grant, 2020-2022 “Identifying effects of COVID-19 pandemic related changes on academic and social experiences of autistic university students”
3. Government of Canada SSHRC Doctoral Grant, 2019-2022, “Academic Writing by Canadian University Students with Autism: A Socio-Cultural, Non-Deficit Perspective”
