Our October #CRAEwebinar:
Demystifying Emotion-Processing: Autism, Alexithymia and Psychological Mechanisms.

@connortkeating.bsky.social will ask, do autistic & non-autistic adults process emotions differently once alexithymia is in the mix?

Very happy to report that this study is now published in Molecular Autism: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Social interactions cannot be assessed without (1) acknowledging the two-way process involved and (2) the cultural context the interactions are embedded in. We present new evidence for this, using stimuli like the one below, in our latest preprint: osf.io/xg7y4 🤝

I am incredibly honoured (and shocked) to receive the Best PhD Dissertation Award from INSAR! This work wouldn’t exist without amazing mentors, colleagues, lived experience experts and participants! Special thanks to Jennifer Cook for her incredible mentorship - I am so grateful for all the support!
