Main research interests
My research interests are primarily focused on all aspects of the pain experiences of autistic people, ranging from laboratory assessment of pain mechanisms to research exploring inequalities in provision of care for autistic people. I am interested more widely on the health (both physical and mental health) of neurodivergent people and helping to support changes which might promote and support better health. I also and interested in research relating to the cognitive functioning in individuals experiencing induced, acute and chronic pain.
