The speakers can be found here on Bluesky at @helenafahey.bsky.social and @gavrobstew.bsky.social

We are also looking for more interested speakers for the next year of ARCH talks. Are you an ECR doing interesting research around autism? Stay tuned for how you can get involved...

Ellen McAdams, a former lab MSc student, will be speaking in the ageing session on Thursday (11-12pm) about trauma and PTSD in middle-aged and older people.

Dr Madeleine Walpert (DementiaUK), who has teamed up with Gavin, will also be speaking about a co-produced dementia information resource.

If you'd like to hear more about our autism work, including lots on ageing and other topics, you can sign-up to the ReSpect Lab's mailing list here: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ayFfhqc7pd

We start by raising the issue that autism in midlife and old age are often overlooked. Using data from O'Nions et al. (2023; Lancet), we estimate that 89% of middle-aged autistic people and 96% of older autistic people in the UK are likely undiagnosed.
