Then why didn't you say so first then it would have cleared up a lot of
misunderstandings.

participants)

> The study has been approved by the Internal Review Board of the
> University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It is under the
> supervision of Patricia Greenfield, Professor of Developmental
> Psychology at UCLA. I am a PhD student in Psychological Studies in
> Education (educational psychology) and a research assistant on the
> Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills for
> Young Adults, a social skills program for fellow young adults on the
> autism spectrum.

> The intention of this research project is to publish on how various
> people interact with the world and view autism in a way that suggests
> diversity between groups as well as individual differences within
> groups. There have been a growing number of descriptive and small
> qualitative studies that show resistance by autistic people to the
> pathologizing or dehumanizing ideas expressed in psychology and
> medicine, and by society. Such research has generally been published
> in outlets that are more traditionally receptive to the philosophy and
> movement of neurodiversity. I and other researchers on this project
> think that psychologists and those who work with and study autistic
> people need to respect the voices of autistic people and the view that
> we are different, not less. This is also why we ask for critiques
> throughout the survey, and we have made adaptations to the survey to
> be more respectful, inclusive, and accurate based on feedback.
