DOI: 10.1002/aur.2866
Abstract: Cognitive differences in memory, information processing speed (IPS), and executive functions (EF), are common in autistic and high autistic trait populations. Despite memory, IPS and EF being sensitive to age‐related change, little is known about… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aur.2873
Abstract: Camouflaging describes masking or compensating for autistic traits and/or related difficulties. Some evidence suggests autistic females camouflage more than autistic males, potentially contributing to delayed or missed diagnosis. Studies predominantly adopt self‐report measures of camouflaging,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2501624122
Abstract: Humans maintain a stable view of the world by omitting self-generated motion during rapid eye movements, or saccades. An efferent copy of the saccade motor command informs visual processing about the self-produced motion. However, efference… read more here.

Sex differences in predictors and outcomes of camouflaging: Comparing diagnosed autistic, high autistic trait and low autistic trait young adults
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Autism"
DOI: 10.1177/13623613221098240
Abstract: Many autistic individuals camouflage socially atypical behaviours. Evidence suggests autistic females camouflage more than autistic males. Although camouflaging may confer some benefits, it is also associated with negative outcomes including poorer mental health and well-being.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/17470218221135585
Abstract: Face coverings pose difficulties for emotion recognition, but it is unclear whether improvement in recognising emotions from the eyes is possible with experience and whether this might be dependent on one's autistic traits, given the… read more here.

Not on the same wavelength? How autistic traits influence cooperation: evidence from fNIRS hyperscanning
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Frontiers in Psychiatry"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1514682
Abstract: Background Individuals with high autistic traits exhibit characteristics like those of individuals with autism, including impairments in sociability and communication skills. Whether individuals with high autistic traits exhibit less cooperation remains debated. Methods This study… read more here.
