When we think of autism we usually think of challenges and deficits. We talk about how autistic people might have issues with communicating, difficulty making friends or understanding other people. Recently, we have started to understand that there are also many strengths linked to autism. This talk explores the idea that different doesn’t mean worse, and looks at situations where autistic people are better than non-autistic people: not just the rare savants with superpowers, but unique skills that many autistic people have. Anna Remington delves into some of the science behind special abilities and talents in autism, and considers ways in which autistic people are using their skills to help push society forwards in new and exciting ways. Anna Remington is Director of UCL’s Centre for Research in Autism and Education. She is a leading authority in the area of superior abilities in autism, and is pursuing an important new line of research on how these skills might translate into the real-world (e.g., employment success). Anna’s published work has been widely cited, and she is regularly invited to present her research both nationally and internationally. A strong advocate of public engagement, Anna also makes short films about neuroscience. as a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Science and looks at whether autistic people see, hear and feel things in a different way from others. She is particularly fascinated by the idea of autism as a condition that has advantages, as well as, challenges. Her research focuses on the superior abilities that we so often see in autism, specifically with respect to attention and perception. She is interested in how and why these superiorities develop, and ways in which we might capitalise on these strengths. Among others, her current research projects include working with autistic people in the family justice system, investigating autistic people’s greater capacity to detect sound and ways to promote autistic employment.
