Current Studies

Details of our ongoing research projects are available on the research pages

Body perception in children

Children aged 4 - 11 are currently needed for a simple picture matching game which assesses how children see different body postures. Children with a diagnosis of autism AND children who do not have autism but have mild or moderate learning difficulties are needed. Testing will take place during the school day or at home by arrangement. To find out more, contact Imogen BoSmith.

Brain Imaging Study for Adults

Adults with autism, ASD or Asperger's syndrome are currently needed for a brain imaging study. You must be between 18 years and 45 years old, be generally healthy and have no metal in your body. If you take part, you will recieve a small allowance for your time and a picture of your brain. To find out more, read this page, download the information poster or email Lauren Marsh.

We are currently recruiting both child and adult participants for a range of future studies. If you think you can help, please visit the volunteering page.
