This survey is part of the wider Autistic Experiences of Breast Cancer research project and funded by Breast Cancer Now. The project is autistic led and the survey questions have been co-designed with our Lived Experience Advisory Group.

Call for participants.

What is the project about?
This survey is part of the wider Autistic Experiences of Breast Cancer research project. With this part of the project, we are exploring the breast cancer experiences of autistic and non-autistic people who have a breast cancer diagnosis to see if there are any similarities or differences in their experiences.

Who are we looking for?
• Autistic people (diagnosed or self-identify)
• Non-autistic people
• Aged 18 years or older
• Been diagnosed with breast cancer (including DCIS and secondary/metastatic breast cancer)
• Diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in the UK

What would it involve?
• Filling in an online survey
• This could take around 20-30 mins to complete
• A code word is provided to you and you will be asked for the code word at the start of the survey. This is to help reduce the number of non-genuine participants trying to access the survey, including bots.
