Are you Autistic, have ADHD, or both (AuDHD)? Have you experienced anxiety, depression, or distress and spoken to your GP about it? We want to hear your story.
We are a team of researchers from UK universities, led by Dr Hannah Bowers at the University of Southampton. I’m Sian Holt, a neurodivergent researcher also based at Southampton, and I’m helping to run this study. Our advisory group includes Autistic/ADHD/AuDHD adults who help shape the research.
We’re looking for UK-based Autistic/ADHD/AuDHD adults (18+) who have experienced mental health difficulties (either now or in the past). You don’t need a formal diagnosis to take part.
You’ll be invited to a 60–90 minute interview (with breaks), which can be done via Teams, phone, email, or in person (if near Southampton).
As a thank you, you’ll receive a £30 voucher for your time and expertise.
If you’re interested or have questions, please email me at MINDS@soton.ac.uk – Sian Holt
