This session takes place on Thursday 12 June 2025, from 1pm to 2.30pm
Delivered as a webinar via Teams
This session will be delivered by Dr Victoria Milner, a final year trainee Clinical Psychologist on the Oxford Doctorate of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy).
The webinar presents 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.
