Are you an autistic adult who was born with a cleft lip and/or palate?
Researchers at the University of Lancashire are looking for participants to take part in a research project looking at the experiences of autistic adults born with a cleft.
Participants will take part in a 30-60 minute interview (online via Teams) and will be asked about their life experiences as an autistic person with a cleft lip and/or palate. This may include medical experiences, social communication, friendships, work and self-esteem.
The aim is to generate a deeper understanding to inform more integrated, neuro-affirming clinical practice and to ensure autistic voices are central in shaping future research and multidisciplinary service development.
Criteria for participation:
- Live in the UK
- Aged 18+
- Born with a cleft lip and/or palate
- Diagnosed or self-identify as autistic
