We invited some of our research participants as well as a large variety of professionals with expertise and/or lived experience in various areas of autism and intimacy to our co-production workshops. These included occupational therapists, sex therapists, sexual service providers, academics, legal professionals, students, members of charities, most of whom are autistic themselves.

These workshops were an opportunity for workshop attendees to work with some of our data, to network with one another, share their own work, and most importantly, to help us build our toolkits.
