Interesting research - approved by a moderator

Recommended Posts

A group of academics at Plymouth University, one of whom - me! - has a formal diagnosis of ASD, are exploring the experiences of academics with autism, ASD and/or Aspergers. (We’ve used the word ‘autism’ and phrases like ‘people with autism’ to refer to all these forms of neurodiversity, but we do appreciate that this is not everybody’s choice of term with which to describe themselves.)

 

Very little is known about the experience of those of us who go on to become academics. Therefore, we’re keen to uncover any issues which might arise, particularly with regard to teaching, research and being an employee in UK further and higher education.

 

Naturally we’re aware that many people with autism choose not to disclose this fact at work, so we’re seeking to publicise our research as widely as possible.

 

We're running a short electronic survey: if you're a teacher or researcher in further or higher education, please take a few moments to complete it. We’d also appreciate any assistance you might be able to give with publicising and / or passing the survey on to anybody else who might be interested.

 

The survey can be accessed at http://tinyurl.com/q2pdtnf

 

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact the project coordinator: email margaret.prior@plymouth.ac.uk or send me a personal message.

 

Thank you!
