Lynsey Stewart, from University of Strathclyde, is recruiting participants for a research study. Lynsey’s research project addresses the problem of dementia among autistic individuals. See below for more information on how to get involved.

Project title: Improving detection and assessment of dementia in the autistic population

This is a PhD project which is now seeking input from clinicians involved in the diagnosis of dementia. The survey aims to understand current knowledge and experience of diagnosing dementia in the autistic community. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and we are seeking responses from both those who do and those who do not have current experience of this particular community.

If anyone has any questions, they can Lynsey at lynsey.stewart@strath.ac.uk

If you are a researcher that would like to share your work with SDRC members, please get in touch with us.
