Past Research
- Exploring the behavioral, cognitive, and neural features of autism;
- Understanding the experiences and needs of autistic people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities;
- Developing and testing effective clinical, educational, and public health approaches for supporting autistic people of all ages and their families.
Autistic people are currently underrepresented in research about autism, and that needs to change! We are working to recruit and support more autistic students in our labs, so that autistic voices are included at every stage of our research, and so that the next generation of researchers will include more autistic leaders. When a research team includes no autistic members, we try to consult with autistic people and other community stakeholders to ensure that the research is consistent with their needs.
