Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are common and impairing neurodevelopmental conditions. The early identification of infants at risk for developing ASD and/or ADHD and the use of pre-emptive interventions to limit the emergence and impact of symptoms are important preventative strategies to reduce the burden of these disorders. The main ob…
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often face significant challenges in emotional regulation, cognitive and behavioral rigidity, which impacts their social skills and increases vulnerability to risky behaviors. The aim of this project is to explore the application of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to promote emotional and social regulation skills in individuals with ASD, …
In order to try to adapt socially to their environment and be accepted among their peers, autistic people present compensatory behaviours, characterized as camouflaging. Research on camouflaging and compensation in autism is still scarce, especially in the Brazilian context. Increasing awareness of the use of compensatory strategies in autism can guide future diagnostic and therapeutic gu…
The current proposal for the Communicate Science call aims to expand the scientific communication of the Young Investigator project funded by FAPESP, "Effects of biological and environmental factors and psychosocial intervention on early neurodevelopmental pathways in vulnerable children", known widely by its social name "Projeto Floreah", led by Dr Elizabeth Shephard at the University of…

The development of social communication abilities in babies is a complex process in which the infant's interactions with the social environment shape the specialisation of neural systems responsible for processing social-communicative information. Previous studies with infants have identified neural markers associated with this process. For instance, an event-related potential component, …

This project investigates how participatory research practices in autism-especially those grounded in co-production with neurodivergent individuals-can be adapted and applied to the Brazilian context. While participatory models are increasingly recognized internationally as essential to producing ethical, impactful, and community-relevant research, their adoption in Brazil remains limited…
