I shared a post the other day about how I believe unmet autistic needs cause cPTSD over time, and in an interesting and unexpected turn of events, many of you reached out offering to participate in a study on this.

I'm curious how many of you would be interested in participating if I were to conduct one.

The method would be a survey. I would need to work out the details and logistics to ensure I am collecting data following scientifically rigorous methods.

But before I do anything, I want to understand the level of participant interest...

Please let me know if you would want to participate if I were to move forward with a study. 🙏🏻

Editing to add because my pinned comment seems to be getting lost somehow...

For those interested in participating, I created a form to collect emails so I can reach out with more information when I'm ready to move forward. (Link below.)

And for those asking questions about participation restrictions, at this point, no one will be excluded. 

Unique circumstances and how they relate to my hypothesis will show up in the way I design the survey. 

More to come... but if you would like to participate, please don't hesitate to sign up. 

The more participants I am able to get, the more data I will have to analyze, the more rigorous my analysis will be, and the more likely the results will offer something meaningful to our community. 

The sign up form is the first link on this page...

And if you know of anyone who might be interested in participating, especially if they are part of a marginalized group that is often excluded from research like this, please forward this along to them. 

I am hoping to be as inclusive as possible when it comes to the study demographics.

And a sincere thank you for engaging with me on this. I am feeling energized, and like there is a meaningful pathway forward here. 

More to come soon... 🙏🏻🙏🏻
