Published in late 2024, this report outlines a neuroaffirmative research project focused on the mental health of autistic university students.
The project was led by a team of mostly neurodivergent and autistic researchers who actively engaged a PAR group of autistic students to shape the study.
The researchers utilized "reflective dialogue" as a methodology to explore personal experiences of mental health at a university level, aiming to move beyond traditional, often ableist, research trends.
The report details historical failings where autistic voices were sidelined, leading to services that did not meet the actual requirements of the community.
The research addresses the historical exclusion of autistic people from the design of services and research that affect them. It highlights a significant "misalignment of support" caused by developing services based on neurotypical perceptions rather than autistic needs.
