Personal Statement:
I am an internationally-regarded autistic developmental and educational British psychologist and researcher whose major area of research expertise is Autism. I completed a doctorate in psychology at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia, in 2009, 'exploring the cognitive theory of autism and introducing a new cognitive theory of autism" based around Monotropism: Single Attention & associated Cognition in Autism (SAACA)'. I continued to contribute (from 2005 -2023) to the Master's Autism Course with Birmingham University (UK), lecture at various universities in Melbourne and the UK, and operate my own Practice as an Autism Consultant. I have written, co-written, and contributed to over 30 books on Autism while continuing to lecture, conduct research and see clients. I have written and/or contributed to over 50 papers concerning Autism and behavior that challenges aging in Autism, Autism and sexuality, Autism and gender, Autism and school and Autism and sensory challenges, and Autism and memory. In 2015-(ongoing), I joined the Autism CRC as both a practical member and contributor to its 'Research Academy' and 'Future Leaders program'. In 2017 & 2023, I joined the Think Tank in Vancouver, Canada, on Autism & aging, see https://autismcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/AC_2017-ThinkTank_Final.pdf.
I was on the board for I CAN (Australia) and now act as an I CAN ambassador. I am on the editorial board for the Journal of Intellectual Disability - Diagnosis and Treatment, Autism in Adulthood Journal, and Global Science Journal of Intellectual Disability.
I am on the US Autism Advisory Board and the Autism Research Institute Board (ARI) and a member of CARG (Curtin Autism Research Group), Western Australia.
Between 2018 and 2020, I worked with the South Australian Government Department of Education as an autism consultant within the complex needs team, exploring ways to assist autistic students with a variety of challenges.
Throughout my career, my research concerning the cognitive theory of Autism (monotropism), which I shared with Dr. Dinah Murray (1946-2021), has continued to challenge traditional cognitive theories of Autism. See: Murray, Lesser & Lawson, 2005, Autism; Lawson, W. 1998- 2021 JKP. London.
