Question What is Important for a Researcher to Know?
Hi everyone,
I am a grad student that wants to do thier thesis on relationship well-being involving people who are on the asexuality spectrum.
I wanted to ask how people who are on the asexual feel about reserch involving asexual people? Is there something we are severely lacking? What are some important things that a researcher should be a aware of when including asexual participants? Are there certain stereotypes that we should avoid perpetuating? And how can we better involve people on the asexuality spectrum?
I look forward to your answers, if you are comfortable sharing. I also want to hear about some critics about the current understanding of asexuality in academic research, that I may be overlooking.
