State Program Specialist and Liaison for the Self-Advocacy Network:

The University of Alaska Anchorage Center for Human Development is looking for autistic adults who are their own guardians to complete a survey about sexual health education. The purpose of the survey is to understand what education and support autistic adults think are important to have romantic relationships. This information will help us develop training.

If you are an autistic adult and willing to participate, please click the link to complete the survey. Participation is voluntary and we will not know your name.

Link to survey - https://uaa.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cSngv4XacO48uF0

Please feel free to forward this email to other adults who you know with autism.

If you have questions please contact Curtis Smith: [email protected]

Thank you for your time.
