I am interested in how people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) perceive the world differently and how this can affect the way they behave. In particular I will investigate differences in auditory, tactile and visual perception in ASD using psychophysics tasks.

These analyses of the impact of sensory perception on behaviour will lead into investigations on the utility and underlying mechanisms of Multi-Sensory Environments (MSE). This research will be conducted using a MSE created at Cardiff University, funded by Mike Ayres Design.
