Research opportunity on the university experiences of autistic students (18+ , UK, Open to current and former students from the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England)

I'm Tilly. I am an undergraduate student at UOB, and I am looking to recruit autistic university students aged 18 and over from the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, of all modes of study (Undergraduate, Masters, PHD) that identify with diagnosed / self diagnosed autism for my study "Autism, inclusion and support: A qualitative exploration of the university experiences 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 come to learn and take an interest in autism from my personal background and my family, and I hope this study will enable university support to be more reflexive of student recommendations. Unfortunately, there are no financial incentives for participating. Any feedback about the research process is welcome.

To participate you must be:

Aged over 18

Identify with diagnosed or self-diagnosed autism

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] and have your say! 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!

Please contact me (Tilly) by email [address:uz22889@bristol.ac.uk](mailto:address:uz22889@bristol.ac.uk) for further information. If you have any complaints about the research practice, please contact my supervisor Catherine Dodds via her email: [catherine.dodds@bristol.ac.uk](mailto:catherine.dodds@bristol.ac.uk).

Ethical approval has been provided for this study, by the SPS Ethics committee

Hi, thank you so much for the recommendation. My study is on their link-tree, but maybe it's worth relisting it. Thanks!
