Invitation for sharing your experiences about chronic/acute pain in ASD (parents of children as well as adults with ASD)
Project end date: June 30, 2026
We are researchers at Dalhousie University. We are conducting a project investigating experiences of pain perception and expression to better support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The purpose of this project is to uncover factors and experiences of chronic or acute pain from the perspectives of individuals with ASD and their parents. This project will generate new understanding about pain perception or expression, which can help us create new resources to support individuals on the spectrum.
You are being invited to participate in this project if you are an
- Adult living with ASD aged 20 years or older, or
- A guardian/parent of individuals with ASD aged 10 years or above.
Participation will require your involvement in an interview either over phone or via Microsoft Teams platform, whichever is convenient for you, to share your ideas and perspectives. We will also ask you to answer some questions through a confidential online survey.
