I talked to Elspeth Bass about her work and research on Autism, Trauma and Theraplay. Elspeth is an Autistic undergraduate student studying Psychology at the University of Sheffield, with a dedicated interest in trauma and Autism. She is currently completing a placement with Chrysalis Associates, a specialist developmental trauma and attachment service for children in care, where she holds the roles of Research Assistant and Honorary Assistant Psychologist. Her academic and placement experiences have deepened her commitment to research that explores the interaction between Autism and trauma, with a focus on improving outcomes for individuals with complex needs. She is particularly passionate about advancing inclusive, evidence-based approaches within both clinical and research settings.
