Year: Four
Em is a fourth-year honours student who is currently working on their fourth-year honours thesis, their tentative title “Research Methodology at the Intersection of Gender Diversity and Autistic Characteristics: A scoping review” works on folks who are both autistic and gender-diverse. They have noticed most of the research conducted was quantitative. This pathologizing approach is highly problematic, and there are many other methodological and theoretical issues with research in this field. Em believes that research so far has been extremely limited with regard to creating space for people on the gender and autism spectra to tell their stories and voice their concerns and aims to bring awareness to this issue.
