Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) is very diverse in terms of clinical and neurobiological aspects, making it important to categorize based on biological factors. However, one challenge is that we don't...Read More >
We investigate the validity of subliminal affective priming (SAP), whereby a response (i.e. a valence judgement) is influenced by a preceding stimulus presented without conscious awareness. In this second part...Read More >
Sensory hypersensitivity is reported in ~95% of autistic individuals and anxiety is reported in ~30% of autistic individuals. Theories have proposed that this sensory hypersensitivity and anxiety may be driven...Read More >
