My name is Angus Rutherford – a psychology undergraduate at Sheffield Hallam University and I have been given the opportunity to talk through the language of autism with those who run my course. This survey works towards changing the language used in university courses and in regular conversation to better represent the wishes of Autistic adults and to improve the experience of autistic students.

The survey is relatively short and any input would be gratefully received – Thank you

There are 6 questions in total each asking your views and opinions on a selection of phrases and terms often used in reference to Autism and Autistic adults. You are not required to answer any question you do not wish to. For each question a phrase/ term will be provided under which you will be asked whether you agree with its use, then you will be asked to explain your conclusion. Please provide as much detail as you feel is necessary, the more detail you provide into why you agree with the use of certain terms the better I can communicate that to the university.
