My research interests are in catatonic presentations in ASD & other types of IDDs, circadian rhythm, sleep, activity and movement in IDD, behavioural phenotyping in metabolic ID as well as sense of self, delusional thinking and anxiety in people with high-functioning autism / Asperger’s syndrome.
I am also interested in the knowledge and use of neuroscience, genetic and biological models of IDD by clinical psychologists and in training clinical psychologists to work with people with autism and their carers and families.
