If you are at #INSAR2026, come to our posters today at 1300hrs (boards 60H and 65B). We will be presenting new data on 1) relationship between sensory responsivity & executive function in a sample of autistic individuals with ID, and 2) preferential social attention for negatively valenced stimuli.

Since we're starting over, it might be a good idea to introduce some of the stuff we've been working on. We have a mix of lab-based projects (in UK) and community based projects (India, Malawi) - looking at measuring individual differences related to autism. (1/5)
