Autism
In 2018 Dr. Rothman launched a new line of research working in partnership with, and conducting research to benefit, autistic adolescents and young adults. Our lab currently works on:
–A OAR-funded project that produced a training on autism for college sexual assault counselors, which is free and available here: https://sites.bu.edu/autismsa/
–A NIMH-funded grant that will collect qualitative and quantitative data from autistic youth, parents and advocates to develop the content of a healthy relationships online intervention, and then test that intervention.
–A NIAAA-funded grant that will collect qualitative and quantitative data from autistic youth about underage alcohol use.
–A PCORI grant that brings together autistic teenagers, parents of autistic teens and young adults, and professionals to develop a national agenda on adolescent health promotion for autistic adolescents.
–An online class for autistic teens to promote healthy dating relationships (click link that says “Safer Dating ASD FINAL” below for free download)
