Autistic sensory experiences of nature
How to take partAbout the study
We want to find out more about autistic people’s experiences of engaging with nature. We want to know more about the different ways autistic people engage with nature, such as walking in nature or listening to nature sounds. We also want to know more about autistic people's sensory experiences when engaging with nature. The results of this study will help inform how to support autistic people's sensory challenges when engaging with nature.
What will it involve?
In this study you will be asked to complete an online survey. This will include questions about you, such as your age and gender. As well as questions about how you engage with nature and your sensory experiences. Some of the questions will ask you to use a rating scale and some of the questions will ask you to type your answers to tell us about your experiences.
