Abstract

Poulsen et al. (2023) introduced the INSAR Community Collaborator Request (ICCR) website, which tries to encourage autism researchers to give opportunities to stakeholders to participate in their projects. However, I think the site could promote objectification by limiting initiatives from autistic people and researchers. Autistic Participatory research should be started from autistics, and barriers should be lifted.
