Intersectionality of Gender and Autism | Ruth B. Grossman

A presentation from 2023–2024 Mary Beth and Chris Gordon Fellow Ruth B. Grossman

Ruth B. Grossman is a professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Emerson College and director of the FACE Lab. Her work is focused on face-to-face communication in autistic and neurotypical individuals within the framework of double-empathy, attempting to better understand the impact of how the nuances in our verbal, facial, and vocal expressions are perceived and understood by others within and across neurotype.

During her fellowship, Grossman is working to establish a broader context for the intersectionality of female gender and autism and challenge the assumption of a 4:1 male gender ratio in autism. The project’s aim is to provide a roadmap for better inclusion of autistic females in research, advocacy, and service delivery. Find out more at https://www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/peo....
