The anxiety caused by secondary schools for autistic adolescents: In their own words (2021)
Journal Article

Secondary schools are increasingly becoming inclusive of all students whatever their individual needs, but we question whether teachers understand enough about specific needs in order to effectively support all their students. Research indicates that... Read More about The anxiety caused by secondary schools for autistic adolescents: In their own words.

Heart Rate Variability in Children and Adolescents with Autism, ADHD and Co-occurring Autism and ADHD, During Passive and Active Experimental Conditions (2021)
Journal Article

Despite overlaps in clinical symptomatology, autism and ADHD may be associated with opposite autonomic arousal profiles which might partly explain altered cognitive and global functioning. We investigated autonomic arousal in 106 children/adolescents...

The Relative Contributions of Visual and Proprioceptive Inputs on Hand Localization in Early Childhood (2021)
Journal Article

Forming an accurate representation of the body relies on the integration of information from multiple sensory inputs. Both vision and proprioception are important for body localization. Whilst adults have been shown to integrate these sources in an o... Read More about The Relative Contributions of Visual and Proprioceptive Inputs on Hand Localization in Early Childhood.

What is the Effect of Stimulus Complexity on Attention to Repeating and Changing Information in Autism? (2021)
Journal Article

Slower habituation to repeating stimuli characterises Autism, but it is not known whether this is driven by difficulties with information processing or an attentional bias towards sameness. We conducted eye-tracking and presented looming geometrical... Read More about What is the Effect of Stimulus Complexity on Attention to Repeating and Changing Information in Autism?.

Journal Article

Background: Theories of differences in resting-state arousal in autistic individuals are influential. Differences in arousal during resting-state would impact engagement and adaptation to the environment, having a cascading effect on development of a...
