Ikra Shabbir is a 3rd year Sociology degree student at the University of Huddersfield looking for people to participate in a research project investigating whether a diagnosis of autism is helpful for mothers. The reason for carrying out this project is that it is part of Ikra’s final year dissertation and is looking to recruit Pakistani mothers who are carers of a child diagnosed with autism aged between 3 – 16 years old. Ikra is interested in finding out about your experience of dealing with health and social care professionals for example, doctors, speech therapists and development paediatricians.
Below is a link to more information and contact details of Ikra if you are interested in participating.

A small number of adults with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) have contacted Healthwatch Calderdale and Healthwatch Kirklees to discuss some difficulties that they are having in getting an initial diagnosis, and in accessing appropriate clinical support following a diagnosis.
Because of this they would like to have a better understanding of the issues that people with ASC face in Calderdale and Kirklees, so that they can raise them with the appropriate organisations and hopefully improve people’s experiences.
To do this we have designed two surveys, one for people with ASC to complete so that they can tell us about their experiences, and another one for the parents, partners and carers of adults with ASC to use to give us their views and ideas.
More information is available on their website here
