Abstract

Interpersonal violence and victimisation (IPV) is violence and abuse that occurs within personal relationships (e.g. from a friend, or family member).Figures suggest that between 50-89% of autistic people have been victimised by someone they know1,2, and that this high prevalence is related to poor mental health outcomes for autistic people3. We conducted a qualitative exploration of autistic adult’s experiences of IPV, focussing on how it impacts their identity, and their experiences of seeking help and support.
