This session was delivered as a webinar on Teams on Thursday 12 June 2025
Part of our Understanding Neurodivergence and Multiple Disadvantage learning series.
This session was delivered by Dr Victoria Milner, a final year trainee Clinical Psychologist on the Oxford Doctorate of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy).
The webinar presented findings from an online research study that investigated staff recognition of autism using vignettes co-produced with experts by experience. Staff working face to face with people experiencing homelessness were asked to provide diagnostic labels and potential adaptations for each hypothetical service user presented in the study. The findings shed light on potential offers of support for autistic people experiencing homelessness.
