Overview

We want to find out how psychological therapy can be made more helpful for people who are autistic and also have experiences of psychosis. At the moment, there is very little guidance about how to adapt therapy for people with both of these experiences.

To do this, we will ask people to complete a series of short questionnaires. You will be asked to rate different ideas about what might make therapy work better and to share your own thoughts. The results will help us create clearer guidance for professionals in the future.

What will it involve? 

You will be asked to complete an online questionnaire that takes about 30 minutes. It will include a few questions about you, followed by questions where you rate how important different therapy adaptations are. There will also be space for you to add your own ideas.

At the end, you can choose whether you want to take part in the next rounds of the study. There may be up to two more questionnaires, each also taking about 30 minutes.
If you prefer, you can complete the questionnaire over the phone with a researcher instead.

Who are we looking to recruit?

We would like to hear from:

• Autistic adults who have had experiences of psychosis
• Family members or carers of someone with these experiences.
• You need to be 18 or over and able to give informed consent.

Rewards and expenses

You will receive £10 (voucher or bank transfer—your choice) for each questionnaire you complete.
