Research opportunity on the university experiences of autistic students (18+ , UK, open to university students from the University of Bristol or the University of the West of England)

Hi all, my name is Tilly (Tyler-May) Davies. I'm a third year, undergraduate Social Policy student at the University of Bristol! I'm looking to recruit autistic participants of all modes of study (Undergraduate, Masters, PHD, foundation year) for my dissertation project ‘Autism, support and inclusion: A qualitative exploration of the university experience of students on the autism spectrum.’ My study hopes to understand the university experiences of autistic students between two academic institutions, regarding perceptions of inclusion and support and student recommendations for improving such supports. I have autistic family members, and I'm interested to hear further insights and experiences from the autistic community.

 To participate you must be:

Aged over 18

Diagnosed or self-diagnosed autistic

A current student at the University of Bristol, or the University of the West of England. (Undergraduate, Masters, PHD, Foundation year ect) (or have studied in the last five years)

Want to help shape the future? Join an anonymous, voluntary 1:1 semi-structured interview, in the format most accessible to you {e.g. online [camera on / off], face to face or via email]. I hope this will only take 45 - 60 minutes of your time. Sensory accommodations can be made e.g regarding venue space. Refreshments provided for face to face interviews!

Want to participate?  Please contact me (Tilly) by email [address:[email protected]](mailto:address:[email protected]) for further information. If you have any complaints about the research practice, please contact my supervisor Catherine Dodds via her email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
