  • Information transfer within and between autistic and non-autistic people

    Open AccessCatherine J Crompton, Sarah Foster et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2025References: 92

    Autism is clinically defined by social communication deficits, suggesting that autistic people may be less effective at sharing information, particularly with one another. However, recent research indicates that neurotype mismatches, rather than autism itself, degrade information sharing. Here, using the diffusion chain method, we examined information transfer in autistic, non-autistic and mixed-neurotype chains (N = 311), replicating and extendi…

  • A comparison of visual attention to pictures in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule in children and adolescents with ADHD and/or autism

    Open AccessPuja Kochhar, Iti Arora et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    Our findings provide preliminary evidence in support of implementing visual attention measurement during assessment of ASD in the context of comorbidity with ADHD. For example, if a child with ADHD was found to reduce attention to faces in ADOS pictures this may suggest additive difficulties on the autism spectrum. Replication across a larger sample would be informative. This work has future potential in the clinic to help with complex cases, inc…

  • Trying to solve the ‘worst situation’ together

    Open AccessDebra Costley, Anne Emerson et al.ARTICLEEducational Action Research2023

    The importance of participatory autism research is discussed in relation to a project involving six autistic researchers and five non-autistic university researchers collaborating to investigate anxiety in autistic adolescents. The paper describes the process of establishing a research partnership and the values and philosophy behind this inclusive method of research. Lessons were learnt about neurodivergent thinking and the benefits it brings to…

  • Prevalence of Victimisation in Autistic Individuals

    Open AccessGrace Trundle, Katy A Jones et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2023

    Autistic individuals are at an increased risk of experiencing victimisation. Previous reviews have focussed specific types of victimisation. Thus, a clearer picture considering the range of victimisation experiences autistic people face is required. This systematic review aims to identify the prevalence of victimisation in autistic individuals considering a variety of victimisation types (e.g., bulling, sexual victimisation, and crime) in both ad…

  • The Anxiety Caused by Secondary Schools for Autistic Adolescents

    Open AccessDebra Costley, Anne Emerson et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2021

    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 autistic students often struggle with aspects of school (conformity; social communication; sensory challenges; bullying) but very few studies ask autistic adolescents about their experiences. One of …

  • Autistic peer-to-peer information transfer is highly effective

    Open AccessCatherine J Crompton, Danielle Ropar et al.ARTICLEAutism2020

    Effective information transfer requires social communication skills. As autism is clinically defined by social communication deficits, it may be expected that information transfer between autistic people would be particularly deficient. However, the Double Empathy theory would suggest that communication difficulties arise from a mismatch in neurotype; and thus information transfer between autistic people may be more successful than information tr…
