Autism CRC researchers at the University of Queensland are looking at how adults on the autism spectrum with intellectual disability find health information online. They want to find out how to make websites better for people.
Who can participate?
Adults on the autism spectrum with intellectual disability and their support people.
What does my participation involve?

Will I be paid to take part in the research project?
No, you will not be paid. However, you will be helping to develop recommendations for future health information websites. This will help website developers to better meet the needs and preferences of adults on the autism spectrum with intellectual disability.
