This project is funded by an Early Career Fellowship awarded to Dr Laura Hull.

Which factors contribute to the development of mental health problems in autistic people? How can we intervene in childhood and early adolescence to reduce the development of future mental health problems? What does masking look like in autistic children and young people?

These are some of the questions we hope to answer during the course of this research project. The project involves two phases: 

1) using pre-collected data to identify predictors of mental health problems for autistic children and young people across adolescence and early adulthood.

2) co-developing methods of measuring masking in autistic children and young people.
