Understanding how autistic people communicate with police officers
Project end date: July 31, 2025
Researchers at York University are investigating how autistic adults communicate with police officers in Canada. Findings from this study may be used to understand how police interactions with people on the autism spectrum can be improved. People living in Canada, aged 17 and older, who identify as being on the autism spectrum are eligible to participate. Participation is completely online and will take about 30 minutes. Participants will need access to a computer/tablet/smartphone with audio. Participants will be asked to view short video clips, answer written questions, and respond to surveys. Participants are eligible to receive a $10 e-gift card as appreciation for their participation. Upon completion of the survey, participants will receive a separate link to provide the email address they would like the e-gift card to be sent to. Individuals interested in participating may fill out the screener survey at this link: https://yorku.questionpro.ca/t/AB3uq9AZB3u32f
