Research has found that autistic people’s emotions are not being empathised with as easily as non-autistic people’s emotions. A research team from the University of Reading (led by a late diagnosed autistic researcher) want to know if this impacts mental health and contributes to the high rates of suicidality amongst this population.
-
They are looking for autistic adults without an intellectual disability, who are 18 years old or above, speak fluent English and have a formal diagnosis of Autism. You will not be able to take part if you are currently an inpatient.
-
The study involves filling in an online survey, which takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The questions will be about your mental health, and some questions will be about suicidal thoughts and behaviours, which may cause some distress.
-
All participation is entirely voluntary. You will be compensated for your time (£5 Amazon voucher).
