Research Interests
My research interest is to better understand the functions of and processes that underlie the restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests (RRBIs) of autism. Specifically, my research focuses on mapping sensory and cognitive processes to the subtypes of RRBIs (i.e., repetitive motor behaviours, insistence on sameness, and circumscribed interests).
Keywords: restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests (RRBIs), sensory processing, cognitive flexibility, autism
