Complete strategy spaces reveal hidden pathways to cooperation
Understanding how cooperation emerges and persists is a central challenge in evolutionary game theory. However, models of communication often rely on restricted strategy sets, making it unclear whether omitted behaviours alter cooperation. Here, we study the complete deterministi...

A Diagnosis Buried in the Closet: How Autistic People Learn of Their Autism Diagnoses
Background: Learning that one is autistic can be a pivotal turning point in self-understanding, but autistic people learn of this information under highly variable conditions. How these disclosure conditions shape autistic people’s experiences of learning and making sense of the...
