The Centre for Autism at the University of Reading regularly invites autistic people of all ages, and members of their families, to take part in research studies being carried out by staff and students.
They are particularly keen to involve people living in Berkshire in their work.
The research teams would like to hear from people who would be happy to take part in online surveys or visit the centre – which is part of the Department of Psychology at the university’s Whiteknights campus – to take part in projects involving working with members of the centre’s team.
The centre’s website has a dedicated research section, giving information about its current projects, who is needed to take part in them, and how to get involved with studies.
Participants will be reimbursed for their time and travel expenses in a number of cases.

Researchers at the CAASD Lab at the University of Reading are testing innovative treatment approaches to help language development in non-verbal and minimally-verbal autistic people. For more details of their current projects and opportunities to participate, email caasd@reading.ac.uk
The Autism Research team at Royal Holloway, part of the University of London, which is based in Egham, close to Windsor and Ascot, also makes regular requests for autistic people and members of their families to participate in their studies.
