Dr. Rachel Moseley

My research centres on autism and the difficulties that autistic people often face in adulthood. I principally focus on suicidality, self-injury and mental health in autistic adults, including the comorbidity between autism and certain conditions, like eating disorders. I also study issues around late-diagnosis, the burden of camouflaging and stigma, ageing, and lifespan transition points like menopause. My career began in cognitive neuroscience, and I previously used neurometabolic (MRI, DTI) and electrophysiological (EEG, MEG) methods to investigate language, emotion and social processes in autistic and non-autistic people.

I am passionate about increasing acceptance of neurodivergent minds through public engagement, and improving life for autistic people through my consultancy work and engagement with policy-makers.
