We welcome those doing research projects on how to better understand and help people with Asperger's. However, as people with Asperger's are by definition vulnerable people, we do ask researchers to meet certain conditions before conducting research at Oxford Aspies:
1. To provide us with the following paperwork:
Documentation confirming the ethical approval of an ethics committee, as recommended by the British Psychological Society: http://www.bps.org.uk/the-society/code-of-conduct/research-frequently-asked-questions.cfmÂ
Information Sheets
Informed Consent Forms
2. To visit the group prior to the commencement of the research project to explain what will be involved and answer any questions. This should happen at a meeting when senior members of the group are present.
3. Understand that in order not to overwhelm our members, we can only take part in a limited number of research projects per year. Therefore, researchers may be put on a waiting list and contacted when a slot becomes available.
