Staff at the University of Kent’s Tizard Centre and School of Psychology have come together in the hope of developing an official database of willing participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the local area. The need for this platform has emerged with the growing amount of research on this topic that is being conducted across the University and with increasing numbers of individuals expressing an interest in taking part in our research.
The database would be set up in the form of a website that would offer a choice to individuals to register their interest (as participants as well as for information) and will allow academics to advertise their current research. Ultimately this should make research on this topic easier and enhance our growing interdisciplinary links. We are currently looking to hear from anyone that might be interested in contributing to and using this database.
