My fellowship is titled - Through silence and symphony: Exploring sensory experiences, accumulative trauma, adaptive strategies, and sensory wellbeing and joy of Autistic people.

I'm delighted and excited to announce that I have been awarded the 2026 Macquarie Lighthouse Research Fellowship! Thank you to my sponsors @dianatan.bsky.social and David McAlpine. It is fantastic that I can continue my program of work here at MQ! www.mq.edu.au/research/our...

New paper alert! We psychometrically validated the Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory. Please check it out. The main takeaways are below, but this has been such a wonderful project!

Thank you for sharing my work @thinkingautism.com 😄

This is a paid opportunity. We will be meeting in AEST time zone (UCT +10) for Zooms and asynchronously for online discussions. More info in the link, otherwise, please reach out to me or the team. Please share if you think someone might be interested. Thank you!

We invite people who are neurodivergent - diagnosed or self ID (Autistic, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, intellectual disability and other neurodivergencies) to join. It will involve connecting bimonthly through Zoom and online discussion boards. #participatoryresearch

I’m thrilled to be sharing this opportunity with you. Our team is recruiting a neurodivergent advisory group. Our work spans experiential (interviews), perception (listening tasks) and auditory neuroscience. redcap.link/NLBadvisoryg...

New original research! I’m delighted to share my (open access) paper with you about auditory environments and how they influence the link between Autistic traits and quality of life, due to sound sensitivity. Below are some of the key takeaways!

Just happened - the NIH had an entire conference on Music as Medicine! It's great to see this shift at such a macro level!! nccih.nih.gov/news/events/... #musicasmedicine

We hope this leads to a better understanding of how auditory processing might influence the Autistic profile and Autistic traits beyond auditory sensitivity. This has been a labor of love for me, and something I've been thinking on and working on for 4 years or so.

First, we look at auditory processing beyond hypersensitivity, including the neurological aspects, and the interplay with known auditory conditions. Next we review the literature about what is known about the relationship between social and non-social Autistic traits and auditory processing.

So excited our review is now published open acccess - How auditory processing contributes to the Autistic profile! And on my birthday no less! This review looks at 2 main aspects around auditory processing for Autistic people, as reported in the literature.

Preprint Alert! osf.io/a7kr5 Sparkly new review about how auditory processing influences the autistic profile. This's been a couple of years in the making! Thanks to my wonderful collaboarators Liz Pellicano, Zack Williams, Patrick Dwyer, Paul Sowman and David McAlpine osf.io/preprints/ps...
