One session treatment (OST) is equivalent to multi‐session cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in children with specific phobias (Aspect): Results from a national non‐inferiority randomized controlled …
BACKGROUND: 5%-10% children and young people (CYP) experience specific phobias that impact daily functioning. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is recommended but has limitations. One Session Treatment (OST), a briefer alternative incorporating CBT principles, has demonstrated efficacy. The Alleviating Specific Phobias Experienced by Children Trial (ASPECT) investigated the non-inferiority of OST compared to multi-session CBT for treating specifi…
Comparison of Diagnostic Profiles of Deaf and Hearing Children with a Diagnosis of Autism
There is limited research comparing the presentation of autism in deaf and hearing children and young people. These comparisons are important to facilitate accurate diagnosis, as rates of misdiagnosis and delay in diagnosis amongst deaf children and young people are high. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic assessment profiles of a UK cohort of autistic deaf and hearing children and young people. The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revise…
Mental Health Provision in UK Secondary Schools
Research reports high levels of mental health problems faced by young people in the UK. Schools provide a range of mental health support services, although these are often not robustly evaluated. This paper aims to explore the mental health provision of secondary schools across two large regions in the North of England and provide comparisons to the mental health questionnaire scores of their pupils. Results are part of a wider study providing an…
Autism and engagement with material culture
Autism spectrum conditions are widely characterized as a cognitive difference which affects social understanding and behaviour. However, evidence increasingly suggests that the condition also affects engagement with material aspects of the environment. Here we review research into how autism affects engagement with the material world. We argue that, whilst there are important distinctions, autism affects perception of the social and material worl…
Autism Spectrum Condition and the Built Environment: New Perspectives on Place Attachment and Cultural Heritage
Values have long provided essential foundation for cultural heritage policy and practice. Traditionally these values were determined by heritage experts and employed by agencies responsible for managing and protecting heritage for society and the future. Such values tended to focus on authorised and normative views of the past. More recently, heritage values have been applied with greater flexibility but to be effective this more flexible approac…
Autism Spectrum Social Stories In Schools Trial 2 (ASSSIST2): Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial analysing clinical and cost-effectiveness of Social StoriesTM in primary schools
The trial is registered on the ISRCTN registry (registration number: ISRCTN11634810). The trial was retrospectively registered on 23rd April 2019
Parental Conceptualizations of Autism and Deafness in British Deaf Children
The co-occurrence of childhood deafness and autism raises complex challenges for diagnosis and family support. In this article, we explore with hearing and Deaf parents their observations of the interaction between deafness and autism and identify how the intersections of deafness and autism are conceptualized in everyday life. Eight parents participated (two of whom were Deaf BSL users) in semi-structured interviews in either BSL or spoken Engli…
How Do We Explain ‛Autistic Traits’ in European Upper Palaeolithic Art
Traits in Upper Palaeolithic art which are also seen in the work of talented artists with autism, including most obviously an exceptional realism, remain to be explained. However any association between the famously evocative animal depictions created in the European Upper Palaeolithic and what is commonly seen as a ‘disorder’ has always been contentious. Debate over these similarities has been heated, with explanations ranging from famous works …

Are there alternative adaptive strategies to human pro-sociality? The role of collaborative morality in the emergence of personality variation and autistic traits
Selection pressures to better understand others' thoughts and feelings are seen as a primary driving force in human cognitive evolution. Yet might the evolution of social cognition be more complex than we assume, with more than one strategy towards social understanding and developing a positive pro-social reputation? Here we argue that social buffering of vulnerabilities through the emergence of collaborative morality will have opened new niches …
Canadian State Trials: Volume Two: Rebellion and Invasion in the Canadas, 1837-1839
This second volume of the Canadian State Trials series focuses on the largest state security crisis in 19th century Canada: the rebellions of 1837-1838 and associated patriot invasions in Upper and Lower Canada (Ontario and Québec).
The Kingston and London Courts Martial
Migration, Radicalism, and State Security: Legislative Initiatives in the Canadas and the United States c.1794–1804
Comparison of Canadian and American state security legislation in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries reveals striking similarities. This is somewhat surprising, given the political and constitutional gulf between the loyalist British provinces of Upper and Lower Canada (Ontario and Quebec) and the revolutionary U.S. republic. Indeed, Murray Greenwood's study of treason laws and their administration in the United States, Lower Cana…
Sex, roles and justice: A study of gender as a predictor of fairness in decision making
Previous research has hypothesized that males and females evaluate the level of fairness of a particular decision using different conceptual models of justice. Other research has proposed that one’s sex‐role orientation, i.e. whether a person has masculine or feminine traits, provides another perspective when judging a decision as being fair or unfair. In this paper we propose to test whether sex‐role orientation does indeed tell a different stor…
Quiescent Leviathan? Citizenship and National Security Measures in Late Modernity
The systematic study of political trials and national security measures tends to be associated with the old‐fashioned genre of ‘state trials’. Although whiggish or critical reductionism has since tended to prevail, recent social historical work on protest movements, ideology, and rights struggles opens up fresh approaches. The current scholarly shift of attention away from the repressive powers of the state to plural sites of power, while represe…

Sedition in Upper Canada: Contested Legality
The paper examines the uses of sedition law in Upper Canada. Largely neglected by historians, sedition prosecutions were frequently resorted to by the government between the 1790s and the 1820s, and are suggestive of larger patterns in the Canadian experience of dissent and national security measures. The essay focuses on the series of cases connected to the Gourlay affair as the best illustrations of the various facets of sedition law in the pro…

Recognising the Gifted Child
Amongst all populations there is a normal distribution of physical and mental characteristics. It follows then that in the Aboriginal population there will be the same proportion of children who vary from the intellectual norm as in any other surveyed group. For educators one such cohort which is often ignored is that which we might like to call the intellectually gifted or, individually, the gifted child
Lake Mungo
Lake Mungo, in New South Wales, is the home of the first known people in this country. Here, the oldest known evidence of Aboriginal people in Australia has been found. Because of its importance, it is a site which everyone should know about. To give us a feeling for Lake Mungo, Billy Reid, the illustrator of The Aboriginal Health Worker and The Aboriginal Child at School, came with me on a trip. We travelled west to the Darling River (whose Abor…
