Looking for people who want to share their experiences with microaggressions

Hi – my name is Jolynn Haney. I am a member of AutismForums. As I explained in another post, I am a parent to an adult daughter who is on the spectrum. She has inspired me to do research that can be used to educate the public about autism, particularly about women on the spectrum, and to advocate for fair treatment, acceptance, accommodation, and autism rights in general.

I am currently conducting a study with one of my colleagues - we are both social workers who teach and do research. We are trying to find people who are interested in helping us with this research project.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how adults on the autism spectrum experience microaggressions.

A microaggression is when others negatively label or judge you because of your autism diagnosis. For example, a person might tell you that you don’t “look” autistic.

We would like to hear about your experiences with microaggressions.

Here is some information you need to know:

· You must be an adult (18 or older)
· You must have an autism diagnosis or identify as being on the autism spectrum.
· To participate, you will complete a 37-question survey.
· It should take about 15-20 minutes to complete the survey.
· Your participation is voluntary.
· Your answers are anonymous and confidential.
· You should have a private area where you can complete the survey online

If you have questions, you can contact me or my colleague:
Jen Cullen [email protected] or Jolynn Haney [email protected]

We will make the results of this study available to you after we complete it.

Please click this link to go to the survey or copy and paste the following link into our browser:

https://widener.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_08LmbJNPA7tndQx

The first page you will see is an informed consent that gives you more detail on the study.

The Widener University Institutional Review Board has approved solicitation for this study.

I hope you will consider taking part in this research. Thanks for your time!
Jolynn
 
Treatment? Why is treatment necessary?

And I've been microaggressed too. People have slandered, ridiculed, libeled, condescended to, hated on, belittled, etc. me for my autism (often assuming I was certain ways I wasn't or had certain traits I didn't) or for my actual autistic tendencies.
