Participate in Autism Research Led by an Autistic Adult (NO DIAGNOSIS REQUIRED!)
My name is Sarah Bayoumi, and I am an autistic undergraduate student at UC Berkeley doing research on eating behaviors in adults with autism, ADHD, both, and neither condition. I am looking for adults aged 18-59 to participate in my study for my honor's thesis, and I am hoping to get it published. All data will be kept confidential, and this study as approved by the IRB (ie. ethics board at UC Berkeley).
You may participate in one or both of the following:
Survey: https://berkeley.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3kiIp1kLUrTGmHQ
- Takes about 15-20 minutes to complete
- Anonymous, no personal info collected (e.g., name, IP address, etc)
- Do not need to have autism and/or ADHD
Focus group sign-up form: https://berkeley.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b9E1DnuLRIKuEPc
- Meeting takes about 2 hours and 25 minutes, including a 15 minute break in the middle
- Must have autism, ADHD, or both (self-diagnosis is valid) and identify as having unusual eating behaviors, difficulty with food, or being a picky eater
- Accessibility (automatically provided to all): will occur over Zoom, questions provided in advance, small group (~ 5 people), video not required, additional breaks provided as needed, may use chat or AAC device to respond to questions. Email me at sarahbayoumi@berkeley.edu with any questions or to request accommodations
As many of us know all too well, autism research is often conducted by allistic (non-autistic) people without our input and research tends to focus on autism in childhood. With my project, I am hoping to bring in my lived experience as an autistic person and explore how autistic adults can be better supported so we can live a better quality of life.
Please send this study info to anyone who you think may be interested. Thank you for your help!
