Autism and the adapting auditory brain

This coproduced study explores how autistic people experience and adapt to auditory environments and how these experiences impact their quality of life, emotionally, physically, and behaviourally. Specifically, we are investigating experiences in noisy and quiet environments, speech-in-noise comprehension, adaptation to auditory settings, and responses to complex auditory scenes. Additionally, we are examining how auditory experiences influence relationships between autistic traits and overall quality of life, and whether different sounds evoke distinct emotional responses. We hope to gather a deep understanding of the auditory experiences autistic people face in their daily lives.
