It's great to be at the RCGP conference sharing our research on general practice support for autistic adults, and talking about neuro-affirmative practice.

A flyer showing the University  of Manchester logo, and a photograph of a man moving his arms, dancing. The text reads as follows:
Research opportunity! The Ada study Access to Dance for Autistic adults.
Researchers at The University of Manchester seek autistic volunteers for an online survey about dance. 
Are you: 1. Autistic (diagnosed or self identifying)? 2. Aged 18 or over? 3. Living in the UK?
We are exploring autistic people’s experience of dancing - or choosing not to dance. Dance can mean anything from having a boogie in the kitchen, dancing in clubs and other social settings, to attending a dance class. The online survey takes about 30-60 minutes depending on how much you’d like to share. It includes questions about your background (e.g. age and gender) and your experiences of dancing and watching dance, or choosing not to dance. Some members of the research team are neurodivergent and the survey was developed with autistic project advisors.
To find out more and take part visit: https://tinyurl.com/Aut-dance Or contact: Claire.Planner@manchester.ac.ukResearch
This project has been reviewed and approved by the University of Manchester Research Ethics Committee. Ref.: 2025-22235-41162

Love dancing? Hate dancing? If you're #autistic, age 18+, in the UK, please take part in our survey (designed with autistic project advisors). We want to hear about why people don't dance, dancing at home (kitchen disco anyone?), socially, or at dance classes. For more info: tinyurl.com/Aut-dance
