NOW CLOSED: Recruitment Call for: Autistic & Non-Autistic Women with (and without) an Eating Disorder

01/06/2021 Update: Thank you to everyone who expressed interest and took part in our study. We have had an incredible response and we look forward to sharing our study findings with you. We have decided to close recruitment for the time being, but please do let us know if you are interested in being involved in related research in the future. You can contact James at UCL to express your interest via email: james.adamson.19@ucl.ac.uk. 

Who can take part?

 We are looking for participants who meet one of the three criteria below:

(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) Women (aged 18+) who are diagnosed and currently living with a restrictive eating disorder (Anorexia Nervosa, Atypical Anorexia or ARFID) and who are not autistic.

What will it involve?

Once we can confirm that you meet the inclusion criteria, we will send you the full information sheet, so you can make a decision about whether you would like to take part. If you agree to take part, we will send you a unique link to a secure, online survey. 

You will be asked to agree to a consent form, and then answer some background questions about yourself and a number of questionnaires. You will also be asked to complete a short online task. Altogether, the survey should take 45-60 minutes to complete. You can take a break at any time. You will be offered a £15 Amazon voucher to thank you for your time.
