I am an emerita professor of psychology and mental health in the Population Health Sciences Institute. I have lead a programme of work that aims to advance the conceptualisation, assessment and treatment of mental health conditions experienced by autistic children and adults. I have a particular interest in anxiety in autism and have developed the first ever anxiety questionnaires specifically designed for use by autistic children (ASC-ASD, Rodgers et al 2016) and autistic adults (ASA-A, Rodgers et al 2020). I have also been involved in the development and evaluation of psychological interventions for co-occurring mental health difficulties in autism (anxiety, depression and suicidality). A focus of much of my work is on understanding the contribution that difficulties with uncertain situation have to the development of anxiety for autistic people. This work has led to the development of psychological interventions for autistic adults and children.

I am an Emerita Professor of Psychology in the Faculty of Medical Sciences. My work focuses on the mental health experiences of autistic people. I am really keen to ensure that clinical services have good assessment methods available to them to identify when autistic people are experiencing mental health difficulties and I have also been involved in the development and evaluation of mental health interventions for autistic children and adults experiencing anxiety and self harm and suicidality. with colleagues I developed the first anxiety questionnaires specifically designed and validated with and for autistic children and adults. I was also involved in
the development and evaluation of a range of mental health focused interventions for autistic children and adults. Some of this work has focused on how autistic people respond to uncertainty. All of the work I am involved in is undertaken in collaboration with members of the autism community and I feel passionately that co-production is essential for us to be able to truly understand the experiences of autistic people.
