Summary Statement:

Hannah Morton, PhD (she/her), is a licensed psychologist and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry. She is an AuDHD clinical researcher whose work focuses on improving mental health and quality of life for autistic people across the lifespan, with an emphasis on co-occurring ADHD and gender and sexual minority identities. She leads the Autism Intersectionality and Mental Health Outcomes (AIM) Lab, using longitudinal and large-scale data to examine depression, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and social-contextual risk factors such as bullying and peer acceptance. Hannah’s work also addresses diagnostic validity and the overlap between autism and ADHD, with the goal of improving assessment and access to care. She developed the Assessment of Bullying Experiences (ABE) questionnaire to capture disability-specific victimization in autistic and neurodivergent youth and is interested in digital and adapted methods to enhance autistic inclusion in research and practice. Hannah serves on the leadership team of the INSAR Autism PROMnet Special Interest Group and co-chaired the Autism SIG of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) from 2022 to 2025, supporting dissemination of evidence-based work across professional and community settings. She is passionate about creating inclusive environments for neurodivergent trainees and promoting accessibility in professional spaces.
