Research summary
The research will explore how people with a Personality Disorder (PD) who have later been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) experience mental health services. This will include their experiences before and after the ASC diagnosis. The research will include interviews that are designed with the help of an expert by experience. The answers to the interview questions will then be looked at to see if there are any common themes. These themes will help us to understand how this group of people experience mental health services. This understanding can then inform suggestions that might improve their experiences.
