Research Participants Wanted!

*EDIT 30/03/20* Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have decided to pause recruitment until the end of June. This decision will be reviewed at the end of May. We hope to be up and running as usual after this, when it is safe to see participants in person again.


The SEDAF team is looking for women to take part in our exciting new study on autism and restrictive eating disorders.

We are looking for:

(1) Autistic women (aged 18+) who are diagnosed and currently living with a restrictive eating disorder (Anorexia Nervosa, Atypical Anorexia or ARFID)

(2) Autistic women (aged 18+) who are not diagnosed with an eating disorder

(3) Non-autistic women (aged 18+) who are diagnosed and currently living with a restrictive eating disorder (Anorexia Nervosa, Atypical Anorexia or ARFID)

What is involved?

You will meet face-to-face with a researcher for around 2-3 hours at a time and place that is convenient to you. You will be asked to complete a number of tasks and questionnaires.

You will contribute to research that hopes to inform clinical practice so that eating disorders services and other mental health services will become more accessible for autistic and other individuals.

Participants who take part will be offered a £30 Amazon voucher to thank them for their time.

If you are interested in taking part or would like more information, please contact Charli Babb (babbc@cardiff.ac.uk) in Cardiff or Janina Brede (janina.brede@ucl.ac.uk) in London.
