Very proud to have been involved in this new paper, led by @AmandaT_ASC, highlighting how few mental health intervention studies measure quality of life as an outcome for autistic people, or involve autistic people in the design/delivery of the study 1/2

"We conclude there is a need for increased use of QoL measurement when trialling mental health interventions, including the use of measures validated for autistic adults – which would be facilitated by greater autistic involvement in research." 2/2 @liz_pellicano @VasoTotsika
