Autistic pupils face many barriers to learning and achievement, and as aresult academic achievement is often lower than expected. Understandinghow to support achievement for these pupils can only come through bytaking holistic multi-level approach (e.g. looking at individual andenvironmental factors). Crucially, work in this area must be shaped andguided by those for whom it is most important - autistic people, parents,educational professionals (teachers and educational psychologists [EPs]).The aim of my PhD research is to develop and empirically test a holisticmodel for understanding achievement in ASC which is co-produced withkey stakeholders. The proposed research will be carried out in threephases, using a multi-informant and mixed-method approach. In phase 1,I will determine what a holistic model of achievement should look like byqualitative and quantitative studies with autistic people, parents, teachersand EPs taking forward an initial framework developed by McDougal etal.[1]. In phase 2, I will identify measures for use in empirical testing,including developing and validating any new measures needed. In phase3, I will empirically test the model with a large representative sample ofautistic pupils, their parents and their teachers. The support of mycollaborative partner will be central throughout the PhD. This research willprovide scientific and practical advances for supporting achievement inautistic pupils, but it will have much broader benefits and impacts with thewider school population, and especially for neurodivergent pupils.

自闭症学生在学习和成就方面面临许多障碍，因此学业成绩往往低于预期。理解如何支持这些学生的成就只能通过采取整体多层次的方法来实现（例如，考虑个人和独立的心理因素）。最重要的是，这一领域的工作必须由那些最重要的人来塑造和指导-自闭症患者，父母，教育专业人士（教师和教育心理学家[EP]）。我的博士研究的目的是开发和实证测试一个理解ASC成就的整体模型，该模型是与关键利益相关者共同制作的。拟议的研究将分三个阶段进行，采用多信息提供者和混合方法。在第一阶段，我将通过对自闭症患者、家长、教师和EP进行定性和定量研究，确定整体成就模型应该是什么样子，并推进埃塔尔开发的初始框架。[1]的文件。在第二阶段，我将确定用于实证测试的度量，包括开发和验证任何需要的新度量。在第三阶段，我将用一个有代表性的大样本自闭症学生、他们的父母和他们的老师来实证检验这个模型。我的合作伙伴的支持将是整个博士中心。这项研究将为支持自闭症学生的成就提供科学和实用的进步，但它将对更广泛的学校人口产生更广泛的好处和影响，特别是对神经分歧的学生。
