Participate in Research

Our projects have helped towards the deeper understanding of autism, advanced diagnostic techniques, and informed better support for autistic people and those around them. None of this would be possible without volunteers who agree to participate in research.

If you and/or your family members would like to take part in our research, you can sign up to receive invitations for specific studies. During registration, we ask for your name, email, country of residence, and optional demographic information. You can also choose to complete questionnaires such as the Autism Quotient (AQ), Empathy Quotient (EQ), and Systemising Quotient (SQ), and you will receive your scores with guidance on how to interpret them: https://redcap.link/Autism_Research_Centre.

The Participants Information Sheet contains more details about what happens when you sign up. You may opt out at any time and we will remove your details from the database. See our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions for more information about how we use the data you provide.
