While several theories have been posited to explain this overlap, the voices of autistic sexual minorities are missing from this conversation. Moreover, there is limited qualitative research exploring the intersection between their dual identities. The co-creation of research by autistic sexual minorities is, therefore, an ethical imperative. This research used semi-structured interviews, facilitated by the shared lived experience of the lead researcher. Fourteen autistic sexual minorities were asked why <i>they</i> think they're more likely to be sexual minorities and how they experience the intersection between their two identities. Reflexive thematic analysis identified four themes: (a) my identities are interconnected, for better or worse, (b) resisting the influence of social norms on sexual orientation, (c) the intersection between autism and a-spec (asexual and aromantic) identities and (d) being autistic within the LGBTQIA+ community. These findings validate intersectionality as a framework for understanding autistic sexual minority identities and suggest that an indifference to social norms is key to autistic sexual minority identities. Recommendations are provided to facilitate inclusive, LGBTQIA+ spaces and develop educational resources to help autistic sexual minorities navigate attraction, intimacy and consent.Lay AbstractAutistic people are more likely to be sexual minorities (e.g., gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual).

School leaders, such as principals and administrators, play a crucial role in helping teachers implement these practices consistently and effectively. This study aims to understand the perspectives of 361 educators, including 161 general education teachers, 138 special education teachers, and 62 paraeducators, regarding the support they receive from school leadership in using EBPs with autistic children. Participants completed a survey called the School Implementation Leadership Scale, which included questions about various leadership qualities, such as being knowledgeable, supportive, proactive, perseverant, communicative, aligned with the school's vision and mission, and available to support the use of EBPs. On average, educators rated their school leadership as moderately supportive. To further explore educators' experiences, selected participants were also invited to participate in interviews. These interviews provided deeper insights into what educators find most helpful from school administrators when implementing EBPs for autistic children. The results emphasize the importance of strong, supportive leadership in building a positive and inclusive school environment and helping educators use EBPs.

Only 2% of universities reported formal policy guiding disability staff when responding to undiagnosed autistic students. The findings suggested that institutional practices varied across universities and by diagnostic group. Staff judgement and discretion mostly determined availability of support and adjustments.
