Abstract
This study aimed to capture what nonbinary autistic people think about research that involves them and how this relates to their experiences. Research questions considered views of current research, what future research should focus on and how views are informed by experiences. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyse transcripts from interviews with 5 NBA individuals through an intersectional lens. Participants valued current research that was important and timely to NBA individuals from diverse backgrounds and focused on ways forward. They thought future research should be led by the community and had ideas about the role of education in facilitating societal change and meeting the needs of NBA people. Views were informed by foundational experiences growing up, conflict throughout their lives and newfound self-discovery and empowerment in their present day. Participants were informed by others’ experiences and took an active role in shaping their communities. Further research may utilise the findings of this paper to inform research agendas, community-led research practices and educational programmes for teaching about diversity.
