I am a PhD researcher in psychology at the University of Bath, exploring ways we can measure and understand autistic traits.
My work involves using innovative statistical and data science concepts to validate, improve and create autistic trait measures and analyse autistic traits more widely. I also explore how autistic traits relate and interact with other social psychological factors, such as compensation strategies.
Spectrum spoke to the researchers who uncovered an error in autism screening guidelines that have been in use for nearly a decade.
The U.K. clinical guidelines used to screen for autism contain an error, which may have resulted in many delayed or missed diagnoses over the past decade.

The striatum and thalamus are more likely than the cerebral cortex to express autism variants or bear transcriptional changes, two unpublished studies find.
