Autism Spectrum Education, Research and Training Group

Our team at the University of Calgary is interested in understanding the experiences of autistics who were unaware of their diagnosis because it was not disclosed to them, how the decision to not disclose that information decision influenced their development, and their opinions around bring uninformed. To do this, we want to interview and audio-record individuals who are 18 years of age or over, have an autism or related diagnosis, and were uninformed of their diagnosis for ...at least one year. If you are interested in the study, you may contact Brittany Lorentz at [email protected] for more details. Participants who participate in the study will be given a $20 gift card in appreciation. University of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board has approved this study (REB18-1302).
