Calendar of Events
Monday, November 22
Noon to 1 p.m. The Wendy Klag Center will host a "chalk talk" about research focused on adults with autism. Two presentations will include Luther Kalb, PhD, and Luke Grosvenor, a predoctoral student, presenting on "Measuring Well-being in Autistic Adults." Description: Historically, mental health research in autism has been deficits-focused. Positive psychology offers a new lens to view disability from a strengths-based perspective. Dr. Kalb and Luke will describe a project validating a measure of well-being, the PERMA Profiler, in autistic adults, and discuss future directions and implications for positive psychological interventions. Calliope Holingue, PhD, MPH, and Jennifer Deal, PhD, MHS, will present "Gaps on Data in Autistic Adults." Description: There is very little research on autism in adulthood, relative to the pediatric research. Drs. Holingue and Deal will briefly describe proposed projects which aim to close this gap, including a systematic review of datasets including autistic adults.
