Research projects – participants needed

University of Technology Sydney Research Project

The University of Technology Sydney is recruiting participants to share feedback and ideas for a research project.

• This research project is being led by an advisory group of autistic adults, with a range of backgrounds and experiences.
• This group is working with Dr Rachel Grove from the University of Technology Sydney, who is a psychologist and researcher with a focus on autistic women and girls.
• The research will be conducted by research assistant Gabrielle Hall who is also autistic.

Participants will be asked to:

1. Complete a 10-minute background questionnaire
2. Participate in an interview that will take approximately 1 hour
