Very happy to share this latest paper about the social experiences of autistic university students. I’m so proud of my @UniOfSurrey @SurreyPsych Masters student Helen Goddard for writing this insightful paper. eur02.safelinks.protection.o…

How does this make sense? 10,000 football fans singing at close quarters is ok, but over six amateur singers in a large, airy, carefully Covid-secured space is too dangerous? @DrRosena @OliverDowden @DCMSArts please explain. @GMB #singingmatters @CityLondonChoir
10,000 football fans can stand shoulder to shoulder and sing. Yet more than 6 amateur singers in a Covid secure setting is dangerous? Please tell us @AJRichardsonMP @oliversowden @dcms how does this make sense? @gmb @ juliaHB1 #singingmatters @CityLondonChoir
Excited to report that all 5 PhD studies are now published!
Our latest study explores the challenges, strategies and self-efficacy of teachers supporting autistic pupils, and was published in the European Journal of Special Needs Education: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… #SurreyPsych

@annahcook and colleagues published an article in @journalautism about the effect of school settings and the level of personal contact with autistic people on children’s attitudes towards autism and bullying. More here: bit.ly/2UKoJem #openaccess

A promising early study showed that increasing direct contact between autistic and allistic peers improved understanding of autistic peers in allistic children and reduced their tolerance to bullying of autistic peers #AutismAwarenessMonth

My co-authors @Jane1Ogden, @DocWinstone and I are excited to share our latest study-published today-finding that children’s attitudes towards bullying and autism are influenced by their school setting and personal contact with autistic individuals.

Loved presenting my research at #BrightonIARR2019 and learning from such a diverse group of relationships experts!
Ending #BrightonIARR2019 on a high with @annahcook presenting her work on school-level and personal exposure and attitudes towards children with autism. Take-home: it's all about relationships!

Here we go science fans. @deniserkal introduces @annahcook as we move rapidly from AstroPhysics to Psychology research #pint19 @pintofscience #Guildford
I’m submitting my PhD thesis today, which explores friendship, bullying and the impact of inclusion for children with autism. Huge thanks to my wonderful supervisors, @Jane1Ogden and @DocWinstone 😊

We've found that interactive music sessions in schools could potentially reduce the bullying of autistic students. Find out how: ow.ly/m6JI30lOLqt
My latest study found that positive contact through group music making in schools improves attitudes of pupils towards their autistic peers. Recently published in @journalautism, read more about it on the @UniOfSurrey website: bit.ly/2NrVmZj – at Guildford, England

New paper with Anna Cook and @DocWinstone shows contact through group music making increases pro social emotions of NT children towards those with autism bit.ly/2MkBppP very proud of my lovely PhD student!
#INSAR1018 folks, if you’re interested in NT children’s attitudes towards bullying and autism come to see me at poster board 230 👍🏻 – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Females with autism are more likely to attempt suicide than autistic males and are 16 times more likely to die from suicide than female controls (Tatja Hirvikoski). Shocking stats. #INSAR2018 – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Caroline Rieffe reports a vicious circle: that victimisation leads to anger for adolescent autistic boys which in turn makes them a greater target of bullying #INSAR2018 – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands
How can we interpret affect of people with autism, particularly when stress/anxiety isn’t obvious? Rosalind Picard talked about wrist worn electodermal activity. Interesting implications for greater understanding in schools. #INSAR2018 – at Rotterdam, The Netherlands
