Understanding Social Cognition in Autism | Diverse Intelligences

An inspiring new project aims to challenge how we think about autism, reframing it not as a disability but a difference. We’re often led to believe that intelligence is an objective measure. Dr. Sue Fletcher-Watson and Dr. Catherine Crompton, researchers at the University of Edinburgh, seek to turn that framework on its head. In their Diverse Intelligences project, they are exploring the social intelligence of people on the autism spectrum.
