Perfil de Dr Ewelina Rydzewska
Ewelina Rydzewska was appointed a Network Adviser for Autism Network Scotland at the University of Strathclyde in May 2012. Ewelina’s main research interest is on the process of transition to adulthood for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Ewelina's research is concerned with multidimensional reflections on adulthood and on the quality of life for people with disabilities. Ewelina is also interested in the impact of the available service provision on service users' developmental trajectories and opportunities for social engagement.
Following a Ph.D. completion in 2013, Ewelina has also developed a particular research interest in risk behaviours, criminal activity and mental health problems in adults with ASD. The latter is related to her wider interests in the notion of community, autonomy, self-perception and identity in adults with ASD. She is also interested in ethics as a creative part of the research process, where participants are seen as active beneficiaries and owners of the research, rather than as passive objects of study.
