Dr Rachel Moseley's research centres on autism and the difficulties that autistic people often face in adulthood. She principally focuses on suicidality, self-injury and mental health in autistic adults, including the comorbidity between autism and certain conditions, like eating disorders. 

Her career began in cognitive neuroscience, and she previously used neurometabolic (MRI, DTI) and electrophysiological (EEG, MEG) methods to investigate language, emotion and social processes in autistic and non-autistic people.

She is passionate about increasing acceptance of neurodivergent minds through public engagement, and improving life for autistic people through her consultancy work and engagement with policy-makers.
