Community participation is an important part of quality of life in adulthood. However, many autistic adults lack community participation opportunities. Volunteer work or community service is one form of community participation which has been shown to improve mental and physical health, social connection, employment readiness, and quality of life amongst non-autistic adults. We want to know if participation in these kinds of volunteer activities could meaningfully impact quality of life for autistic adults as well.
