"I’m Not My True Self": A Systematic Review Exploring the Association Between Camouflaging and Self-Related Factors in Autistic Adults Open
Background: Camouflaging – the use of strategies to mask autistic traits in social contexts – has been linked to mental health challenges and lower self-esteem. While the relationship between camouflaging and mental health has been increas…

A cross-cultural examination of bi-directional mentalising in autistic and non-autistic adults Open
Background So-called ‘mismatch accounts’ propose that, rather than arising from a socio-cognitive deficit present in autistic people, mentalising difficulties are the product of a mismatch in neurotype between interaction partners. Althoug…

Refinements of the Phase Adjustment Task (PAT 2.0) Open
In 2021 a new measure for the assessment of cardiac interoceptive accuracy – the Phase Adjustment Task (PAT) – was developed that overcomes several limitations of existing methods and can be administered remotely using a smartphone applica…

Autistic and non-autistic prosocial decision-making: The impact of recipient neurotype Open
A body of research suggests cross-neurotype interpersonal interactions may be more challenging, and non-autistic individuals show less interest in interacting with their autistic peers. However, it is not clear whether such cross-neurotype…

Beyond population means: The utility of Bayesian Prevalence analyses in autism research Open
This article advocates for diversifying statistical methods in autism research to better capture the inherent heterogeneity within the autistic population. While null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST) on population means remains valuab…

Facial movements as behavioural markers for autism: A Bayesian prevalence and machine-learning proof-of-concept study Open
Autism research has long sought reliable behavioural markers to support early identification and diagnosis. In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognised the potential of facial movements as behavioural markers for autism. To m…

Factors underlying differences in knowledge, explicit stigma and implicit biases towards autism across Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and the United States Open
A growing literature suggests that there is cross-cultural variation in levels of autism-related stigma, which may partially be explained by differences in cultural orientation or autism-related knowledge between countries. This literature…

Cross-cultural variation in experiences of acceptance, camouflaging and mental health difficulties in autism: A registered report Open
Recent findings suggest that stigma and camouflaging contribute to mental health difficulties for autistic individuals, however, this evidence is largely based on UK samples. While studies have shown cross-cultural differences in levels of…

Mismatching expressions: Spatiotemporal and kinematic differences in autistic and non-autistic facial expressions Open
Preliminary studies are suggestive of differences in facial expressions between autistic and non-autistic individuals. However, it is unclear what specifically is different, whether such differences remain after controlling for facial morp…

The conceptualisation, experience, and recognition of emotion in autism: Differences in the psychological mechanisms involved in autistic and non-autistic emotion recognition Open
Existing literature suggests that differences between autistic and non-autistic people in emotion recognition might be related to differences in how these groups experience emotions themselves. Specifically, autistic individuals may show d…

Autistic adults exhibit highly precise representations of others’ emotions but a reduced influence of emotion representations on emotion recognition accuracy Open
Background: “Visual representations of emotions” - the way you picture expressions in your “minds’ eye” - are important contributors to emotion recognition. For example, people who have precise representations, that are clearly differentia…

Exploring facial expression recognition in Parkinson’s Open
Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative condition and some studies have suggested that people with Parkinson’s (PwP) experience difficulties with recognising facial expressions. Previous studies, however, have focussed on static stimuli, as opp…

The Inside Out Model of Emotion Recognition: How the Shape of One’s Internal Emotional Landscape Influences the Recognition of Others’ Emotions Open
Some people are exceptional at reading emotional expressions, while others struggle. Here we ask whether the way we experience emotion “on the inside” influences the way we expect emotions to be expressed in the “outside world” and subsequ…
