Health Checks for Autistic Adults Study

Hi!

Has anyone else been invited via their GP to take part in this health checks for autistic adults study?

I've signed up to do it but wonder what others think of it!

  • I read something about this before I thought connected to London. I think it would help, I dread going to the doctors and usually have to be coerced into going. Then when I'm there I don't know how to explain what's wrong, what I'm feeling or how to put something on a scale of 1 to 10 if asked.

  • I think it could definitely be beneficial, there is a life expectancy difference associated with autism, and health inequality is likely a factor. Any attempt at tackling this, especially backed up by data, is a good thing.
