What is the purpose of the consultation?
The purpose of the consultation is to improve Spectrum 10K, address concerns, and make changes to the study based mainly on what autistic people say. Changes will also be based on the opinions of others with an interest in improving the study including family members, and those who work with or for autistic people.
