Measuring Flourishing Among Autistic Youth

Project end date: March 4, 2025

A research team at York University is inviting autistic youth (13-25 years of age) to participate in an online survey that looks at experiences of positive well-being (i.e., flourishing) among young people. Their goal is to determine if a flourishing questionnaire that was made for non-autistic youth works for autistic young people, and if not, how it can be adapted to capture autistic experiences of flourishing.

Autistic youth can take part in this study if:

They are between 13 and 25 years of age.
Located in Canada and the United States.
Have a diagnosis of autism or self-identify as autistic.

What does participation involve?

Completing a 15-minute online survey about flourishing and autistic traits.
For those under 16 years of age, a parent or caregiver will be asked to provide consent for participation and complete the autistic traits questionnaire about the youth.
The survey can be completed alone or with a support person.

Here is the link to their study sign-up sheet! A member of their research team will then send participants the survey directly. https://yorku.questionpro.ca/t/AB3urAcZB3u32R
