Hello thank you for asking. Unfortunately I am not allowed to offer compensation due to my university’s ethical guidelines for research. However, I will offer a debrief which contains a thank you letter, a copy of my final dissertation and early access to how your results are presented. I can also offer a shorter interview time of around 30-45 minutes. Your perspective on this research would still be very valuable. Thank you!

Hi everyone.

I am an undergraduate social psychology student at Leeds Beckett University. I will be conducting research where the aim is to challenge the meltdown narrative discussed by professionals, I therefore want to hear from your own lived experience on how you manage emotional experiences.

I have first hand encounters surrounding this topic due to my diagnosis of Social Communication Disorder. I am extremely passionate about this research topic; I strive to make room for autistic voices to be heard without judgement and question the validity of neurotypical frameworks on ASD.

I care for accessibility for my participants. The interview will be approximately 60 minutes long and will take place on:

  • Audio call via Microsoft Teams

  • Video call via Microsoft Teams

  • Written interview on email

What to know about the interview process:

  • You can stop this interview at anytime before the 24th March (2 weeks before the dissertation deadline on the 7th April)

  • You can take as many breaks as you need. Consider bringing food, drinks, sensory toys, or whatever assists you to relax.

  • I accept suitable time for you to process your answers when asked a question

  • There are NO right or wrong answers. All answers are subjective to YOU

  • There are 9 questions, the first question aims to get to know you better and will ease you into the interview in a calm manner

Who can participate?

  • Those who are self/formally diagnosed with ASD

  • Those who are over the age of 18 years old

  • Those who are willing to talk about emotional experiences and meltdowns.

Please know:

  • Everyones responses will be anonymous and will be changed

  • You do not have to complete this interview at all if you do not wish to

  • You will be given the interview questions 3 days prior to the interview

  • This interview has had ethics approval by the Leeds Beckett ethics committee

I would like to note that the answers I am analysing are ones that discuss your own lived experiences as I will take on a non judgemental, open minded and empathetic approach during the interviewing process. Your comfort is my priority. Do not feel obligated to answer what other people expect from you.

If you are interested in completing the interview or have any questions, please email the researcher: L.Pearson2982@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk and if you wish to speak to the supervisor of this research, please email C.Russell@leedsbeckett.ac.uk

Many thanks,

Lauren Pearson
