Really excited to share the first paper from my PhD! We explored autistic pupils' experiences of using school sensory rooms. They reported benefits for wellbeing, learning and sensory needs with self-directed use. Adaptable equipment was appreciated to meet context-dependent needs. #autism #AutRes

New #CRAEresearchSummary from the new paper by Jennifer Price and Mel Romualdez ‘It just feels unnatural being here’: Autistic secondary school students’ experiences of sensory sensitivities in the school environment ✔️individualised ✔️affirming crae.ioe.ac.uk/it-ju...
graphic with a light purple background featuring three dark purple circular icons paired with quotes from autistic students about their experiences in school.

Top section: A person icon walking through a door is shown. Beside it, a quote from Sophie reads:
"It just feels unnatural being here (laughs). As soon as I get here, I want to leave... everything in school is kind of a given, and it feels... kind of humiliating when it’s not."

Middle section: An icon of a block of classroom chairs. Next to it, Emma’s quote reads:
"One big thing is if they gave us... the option of where to sit... the difference between me not being able to go to a lesson ever."

Bottom section: A symbol of a head with arrows pointing down toward it. Beside it, Johnny’s quote reads:
"It’d make me not want to work, and it makes me not want to think. And it... hurts my brain."

At the bottom right corner, the text says: "Price & Romualdez (2025)".

We know so little about the emotional experiences of #autistic and #ADHD young people who struggle to attend or are excluded from school even though this group is at much higher risk of mental health difficulties and poor life chances. We want to change this. qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_...

Our paper has been published open access! (My first publication!) This project was part of my MSc thesis with @jamestrujillo.bsky.social & @judithholler.bsky.social. We explored the relationship between dyadic differences in EQ scores, and kinematic & prosodic similarity🧵 doi.org/10.1080/0163...

Dyadic differences in empathy scores are associated with kinematic similarity during conversational question–answer pairs
During conversation, speakers coordinate and synergize their behaviors at multiple levels, and in different ways. The extent to which individuals converge or diverge in their behaviors during inter...

#Thread How taking part in research has benefited me. As well as being an Autistic autism researcher I take part in other people’s research studies. This is partly altruistic as I want to reduce inequalities and improve things for future generations, but I also gain a great deal from it personally.
