Bank holiday weekend

The CLAPA Team is taking a break over the bank holiday weekend. We'll be back on Tuesday 7th April.

The Lived Experience of Autistic Adults with Cleft Lip and Palate

Are you an autistic adult who was born with a cleft lip and/or palate?

Researchers at the University of Lancashire are looking for participants to take part in a research project looking at the experiences of autistic adults born with a cleft.

Participants will take part in a 30-60 minute interview (online via Teams) and will be asked about their life experiences as an autistic person with a cleft lip and/or palate. This may include medical experiences, social communication, friendships, work and self-esteem.

The aim is to generate a deeper understanding to inform more integrated, neuro-affirming clinical practice and to ensure autistic voices are central in shaping future research and multidisciplinary service development.

Criteria for participation:

  • Live in the UK
  • Aged 18+
  • Born with a cleft lip and/or palate
  • Diagnosed or self-identify as autistic
