SAAIL: Supporting Autistic Adults' Intimate Lives

A participatory research project exploring autistic adults' intimate lives. Funded by @NIHRSSCR. Researchers: @monique_huy Chris Hatton
Our toolkit "Starting Conversations to Support Intimate Lives: A guide for social care professionals" is online and includes downloadable templates, YouTube videos, and guidance. All based on what SAAIL participants said they wanted professionals to know autlives.com/menu-for-suppo…
