Research
Focus
- My research explores the causes, course, and consequences of autism through the development of performance-based measures of social engagement. These measures function as diagnostic markers; as prognostic indicators of outcome; and as endophenotypes for parsing the broader autism spectrum (all critical steps in understanding the genetic, neural, and behavioral mechanisms of disability in autism spectrum disorders).
