Current Project(s)

Anxiety problems have been raised as a research priority for the autistic community, due to high rates of co-occurrence and their impact on quality of life for children, adolescents and adults. 

 I study the cognitive mechanisms theorised to be involved in the development and maintenance of anxiety in autism. I have a particular interest in the role of intolerance of uncertainty, especially the causal inferences that can be made between changes in intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety.

 I use a range of methodological approaches including conducting qualitative research, using advanced statistics, and employing experimental design.
