| Abstract | This paper explores a participatory research approach used with 10 higher education students on the autism spectrum (mainly diagnosed with Asperger syndrome). The methodology sought to overcome barriers to participation. Participants' views were sought on the benefits and challenges related to their participation. Most participants opted for face-to-face participation and expressed the desire to improve understanding of autism and help others with the condition, somewhat at odds with some of the prevailing stereotypes of autism. Findings indicate that the research methodology was successful in engaging participants, enabling them to participate on both practical and theoretical levels. The adaptations required additional time for both researcher and participants but were deemed worthwhile by both parties. Participants demonstrated commitment to the project and through it viewed themselves as potential agents for change. The paper concludes that a flexible, multi-faceted research approach can be effective in supporting individuals with social/communication difficulties to be active participants, and moreover that the research field stands to benefit significantly from their involvement.
