Press release issued: 29 September 2022

The transition to university can be a difficult time for autistic students. At the University of Bristol, we’re invested in collaborative research, to learn and better understand the challenges that students face so that we can continue to improve help and support. A new interactive infographic on autism research explains how understanding the issues experienced by autistic students is shaping our research.

This digital hub of information sets out what we already know, and what we are working towards, and includes links to research papers for detailed findings, and signposts to support resources. The infographic was developed by the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute at the University of Bristol, and researchers from the University’s School of Education, with input from autistic students; accessibility experts; and equality, diversity and inclusion leads.
