Are you a woman with Asperger Syndrome who would be willing to contribute to doctoral research on your experiences of work or seeking to gain employment?
I am a PhD student at Hertfordshire Business School (part of the University of Hertfordshire) conducting research into this important area (Protocol Number: cBUS/PG/UH/00412, University of Hertfordshire Arts & Humanities ECDA). The aim of my research is to give a voice to, and explore the experiences of, women with Asperger Syndrome in the workplace. The research will include women who are currently employed, previously employed, or who are seeking, or have sought, employment. If you are over the age of 18, have received a formal ‘diagnosis’ of Asperger Syndrome, or if you have self-diagnosed or you self-identify with Asperger Syndrome, I would like to hear about your worklife experiences.
If you would like to take part please complete the short questionnaire at https://sdu-surveys.herts.ac.uk/womenasperger which collects some basic demographic and contact details. I will then use these to arrange a mutually convenient time and method to interview you.
The interviews, which should take no longer than an hour, would be face to face, by telephone or by Skype, all at a time convenient to you. Interviews can also be offered by email if preferred. All information collected will be kept strictly confidential and you will not be able to be identified in the final research or any conference presentations or publications that may arise from it.
This call for participants is also available on the NAS and Research Autism websites, and I'm very happy if list members also want to share this in their own networks.
Many thanks
