Sensory Issues and Eczema - Survey
There is hardly any research into how neurodiversity affects eczema. We think neurodivergent (ND) people have different needs or experiences of eczema treatment. So we are doing this survey.
We already did a short survey which asked very open questions about eczema and neurodivergence. This was to get a rough idea of what people thought. One thing a lot of ND people said was they have sensory issues with their eczema treatments. There hasn’t been any research on this before.
This survey is asking about sensory issues and eczema in more detail. We are sending this survey to both neurotypical (NT) and neurodivergent (ND) people, because we want to compare.
We hope that this can give us more useful information about what treatments people find hard. Also, which treatments people might find a bit easier. And any things that might help. We will then tell patients about it. And also doctors and other medical staff so that they can support their neurodivergent patients better.
This research is being done by patients and researchers working together.
