Intervention fatigue occurs when an Autistic individual makes many attempts to get help, yet does not get the right help, which then exacerbates their poor mental health. It can result in feelings of helplessness, powerlessness, brokenness and exhaustion.

@C4Understanding @IMagiati @lauren_janet86 @WennLawson Thank you for your question! Yes, we have two Autistic consultants on our team - they are both also researchers themselves and have been involved in every step of the design and planning of this study :)
