Organisation / Service

Griffith University

Audience

We are seeking autistic female adults (formal or self-identified with a formal diagnosis of anorexia and in active recovery) to complete a 5-minute questionnaire and following 1-hour interviews.

---

We are conducting a research project into autistic female adults’ experiences with anorexia nervosa to deepen understanding and gain insight into the experiences of anorexia and effective support systems, both formal (e.g. psychologists) and informal (e.g. friends and family).

Interviews will take approximately 1 hour to complete. Participation is completely voluntary, and all data will be de-identified and confidential. Participants will receive a $50 Woolworths gift voucher as a thank you for their time. This project has ethical approval from Griffith University Ethics Committee (approval number 2025/917).
