Thanks to all who've taken part in interviews - we're now recruiting for the next study phase, which involves sharing images & captions to a private social media account for 4 months. Eligibility: identify as autistic, aged 16-26, currently live in the UK, some experience with using social media

Research participants needed for 'Understanding the use of social media in the daily lives of autistic young people'
Autistic people in the UK between 16-26 can take part. You should have experience of social media but you don't need to be an active user. We especially welcome people who are 16-19, male or nonbinary, BAME, or non-speaking.

We will ask you to share pictures with a caption to a private social media account for 4 months. We'll give prompts, but usually it will relate to social media and special interests. After 4 months, we'll invite you to an online interview or focus group to talk more about your pictures. 

The project starts Monday 27th January 2025.  We will offer you up to £60 in high street vouchers as a thank you for taking part.
