‘I can't relate to it’: Exploring autistic and non‐autistic adults' perceptions of the Australian Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines
The findings underscore the importance of crafting health communication and promotion materials that are more visible, clear, inclusive and engaging for non-autistic and autistic individuals in Australia. SO WHAT?: This study highlights the potential for improving the number of people correctly understanding the PA guidelines by addressing dissemination methods, knowledge and interpretation of the guidelines as some components of the multifaceted process required to achieve behaviour change.
