It's not (yet) open access, but MSc Psychology and Learning Disability students have early access to his research where possible

Participation for study👇will ideally close over the weekend/by Monday. It would be a great support to Steven Kapp's student Chloe King if 3+ more non-autistic ppl participated in her study on relationship between autism & crime, by text-chat interview: [email protected]
