Laura Phasey, MSc student at UCL has created an anonymous survey (15-20 minutes) aimed at adults aged 18+ who identify as neurodivergent (including, but not limited to autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD, Tourette’s, etc.), and who live in the UK. The aim is to better understand neurodivergent adults experience of outdoor public green spaces, including any sensory and social barriers.
If you could share the survey with your network via mailing lists, social media, or relevant groups, or if you identify as neurodivergent, you are warmly invited to take part - a formal diagnosis is not required.
There is little research into how neurodivergent adults experience parks and greenspaces, especially compared to children. By sharing your experiences, you’ll be helping to inform more inclusive and supportive design and management of public outdoor spaces - ensuring they work better for everyone.
I have also attached a participant information sheet for the survey, to provide more information on what to expect and providing consent. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions.
