Investigating OCD, ADHD, and Autistic traits as predictors of maladaptive daydreaming (2025)
Journal Article

Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is an urge-driven mental activity characterized by excessive, immersive daydreaming that disrupts daily life and leads to functional distress. However, MD is not formally recognized in diagnostic manuals, and urgent work... Read More about Investigating OCD, ADHD, and Autistic traits as predictors of maladaptive daydreaming.

Personal relative deprivation and locus of control (2024)
Journal Article

Objective: We investigated the relationship between personal relative deprivation (PRD)—resentment from the belief that one is worse off than people who are similar to oneself—and locus of control. Background: Research has yet to comprehensively inve... Read More about Personal relative deprivation and locus of control.

Quantifying the contribution of specific autistic traits to quality of life in autistic adults (2024)
Journal Article

Across research studies, autistic traits have consistently been found to predict the quality of life (QoL) of autistic adults. However, our understanding of their exact role remains limited, as autistic traits are typically examined as a unitary cons...

Five interdisciplinary tensions and opportunities in neurodiversity research (2024)
Journal Article

Improving our understanding of autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental conditions requires collaborations between genetics, psychiatry, the social sciences and other fields of research.

Investigating implicit emotion processing in autism spectrum disorder across age groups: A cross‐modal emotional priming study (2024)
Journal Article

Cumulating evidence suggests that atypical emotion processing in autism may generalize across different stimulus domains. However, this evidence comes from studies examining explicit emotion recognition. It remains unclear whether domain-general atyp...

The Reading Everyday Emotion Database (REED): A set of audio-visual recordings of emotions in music and language (2023)
Journal Article

Most audio-visual (AV) emotion databases consist of clips that do not reflect real-life emotion processing (e.g., professional actors in bright studio-like environment), contain only spoken clips, and none have sung clips that express complex emotion...

The relationship between autism and pitch perception is modulated by cognitive abilities (2023)
Journal Article

Previous studies reported mixed findings on autistic individuals’ pitch perception relative to neurotypical (NT) individuals. We investigated whether this may be partly due to individual differences in cognitive abilities by comparing their performan...

Re-examining the association between the age of learning one is autistic and adult outcomes (2023)
Journal Article

It was recently reported that learning one is autistic earlier in life is associated with greater quality of life and well-being in university students. In a pre-registered extension of this work, we addressed several limitations of this study by (a)...

Emotion recognition in autism spectrum disorder across age groups: A cross‐sectional investigation of various visual and auditory communicative domains (2023)
Journal Article

Using network analysis to improve understanding and utility of the 10-item Autism-Spectrum Quotient (2022)
Journal Article

The 10-item Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ10) is a measure of autistic traits used in research and clinical practice. Recently, the AQ10 has garnered critical attention, with research questioning its psychometric properties and clinical cutoff value. T...

Emotion recognition across visual and auditory modalities in autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2021)
Journal Article

An expanding literature has investigated emotion recognition across visual and auditory modalities in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Findings, however, have been highly variable. The present work systematically reviewed and quantitatively synthesise...
