Summary

This study tests two different approaches for bringing autistic people and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) providers together to discuss research priorities. One approach uses a restorative justice framework to ensure autistic voices are heard and respected. The goal is to find better ways to have difficult conversations and shape future research that truly reflects community needs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Transformative and Restorative Engagement Circle (TREC) - a structured discussion method
What this could lead to
If successful, this could create a proven way for autistic people and ABA providers to work together on future research, making studies more inclusive and relevant.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study focused on engagement methods, not a treatment. It may not lead to direct health improvements, and results depend on participant willingness and group dynamics.
