🎉 My research has been featured in TIME!🎉
In this article, I discuss our work on how people with autism process social comparisons differently, often showing greater emotional resilience, and what we can learn from these insights.

💡New Paper in Social Cognition!💡
Autistic participants report:
🔹 Lower endorsement of binding values (e.g., loyalty)
🔹 No difference in individualizing values (e.g., care, fairness)
🔹 Lower levels of social comparison emotions (e.g., envy).

In ongoing work led by @MarcusTrenfield presented at #SP32024, we find that combining individual and structural narratives about climate change may be key in motivating both personal action and collective action to address the issue!
