News

Hello,

My name is Verity Chester and I am a researcher in learning disability and autism at the University of East Anglia and Herts NHS Trust. I am looking for autistic participants for a project which involves meeting me face to face and completing a series of questionnaires and psychological tasks (around 90 mins). I travel to participants. It can take place in people’s homes, workplaces, community spaces etc. If you are interested, please email me on v.chester@uea.ac.uk and I will send more information.

Inclusion criteria for the study are:

• Formally diagnosed as autistic

• Those with or without learning disabilities (able to provide informed consent)

Exclusion criteria:

• An offending history. If there is any history of arrests, cautions or convictions, the participant is not eligible for the study.

• Lacks capacity to consent.

Please let me know if you would like any further information. I look forward to hearing from you.

Verity - v.chester@uea.ac.uk

Dear Verity

I’d be interested in learning more about your research project.

Imeet all the inclusion criteria and in principle would be happy to be involved. But would find it useful to know a little more before committing.
