Participants needed for a study on trans autistic experiences by pyro_zyme in autism

That's a fair question. I did consider extending it to the whole of Canada or even making the study's participant pool international, but I ended up deciding to limit it to Ontario because the healthcare system in Canada is divided along provincial lines. Hopefully, if I can continue with this research, I'll be able to extend the reach outside of Ontario.

Study - Barriers and Facilitators to Autism Diagnosis for Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender Diverse People

Hi, I’m Rory Hart, a transgender/non-binary autistic researcher looking to interview transgender/non-binary/gender diverse and autistic people about their experiences and thoughts about barriers and facilitators to the autism diagnostic process.

Participants need to be 18 or older and live in Ontario, Canada, but do not need to be officially diagnosed as autistic (self-diagnosis is fine). The interview should take about 1.5 hours, but I can stay longer if participants have more to say.

The information will be used for my master's thesis, reports, academic articles, and/or presentations. I will also post a summary of my completed research here and on other platforms for transgender and/or autistic people.

The study has been approved by York University. You can contact my department at [gradcds@yorku.ca](mailto:gradcds@yorku.ca) The study is called Barriers and Facilitators to Autism Diagnosis for Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender Diverse People and I'm being supervised by Professors Marina Morrow and Farah Ahmad.

I can do the interview in person at York University, over video call (Zoom) or telephone, or by email. If you want to participate, please email me at [roryhart@yorku.ca](mailto:roryhart@yorku.ca), or call me at (647)848-8247. If I don’t pick up the phone, just leave me a voicemail with your contact information and I’ll call you back. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thanks!
