In this unique course, designed in collaboration with local, autistic community members, GW students learn community participatory research methods while engaging with autistic young adults, their parents, researchers, clinicians and other service providers. The course covers the science, viewpoints, and experience of autism with a focus on young adults transitioning to adulthood. Working in partnership with community advocates, students explore research relevant to the autistic community.

William, thanks so much for your fascinating presentation! I was really glad to see you touch on some of the intersectional aspects of an Autistic person's identity and how that may affect their access to services. It was really great to see you tie in the effects of COVID-19 as well because of the likely long-term impacts it will have on tele-health and our healthcare system in general
Thank you, Jonah. I appreciate your constructive feedback
Highlighted amazing key points especially with health disparities. Glad to see that Tele-health can reach neighborhoods with less access to resources!
Yes, I hope this can support underserved populations as well. Thank you for your kind feedback.
Great presentation and it is good to see that the pandemic can have some positive side effects in the form of potentially expanded telehealth
Couldn't agree more, Amy. We can definitely find new avenues to serving the community despite this troubling time. Thank you for your comments.
William-thanks for your scholarship this is a great presentation and I learned so much from watching it. How are you sharing it with your community partners?
Thank you for your feedback, Rachel. I plan to extend partnerships with Growing Kids Therapy Center and City Center NOVA to educate, either in the form of live / virtual workshops, community members beyond our class about this conceptual framework.
Thanks for putting together and concise and informative presentation on your work! Your research did a great job of utilizing an intersectional perspective. Will be very interesting to see what role COVID-19 plays in the long-term effects of your research.
Definitely, Shannon. I hope to further explore the effects of the COVID-19 response on U.S. telehealth policy, and potentially internationally as well. Thank you for your kind words.
Really thoughtful questions and integration of diverse perspectives and experiences. I also appreciate the creative use of visuals in the presentation itself to help make complex ideas clear. Thanks for presenting!
Thank you very much, Wendy. Animated visual aids can often help accommodate for learning style differences within our community.
Thanks William. Opportunities and delivery for telehealth make a lot of sense for this population. Good work on your presentation. Also loved your graphics.
Really awesome work William. I appreciate your intersectional analysis on health disparities. Your graphics were very helpful in understanding your TRIAL framework and I'm excited to learn more about the role tele-health will play in bridging the healthcare access gap.
