Abigail Houck's research investigates the social and psychological experiences of autistic individuals, particularly focusing on self-identification and social interaction patterns. Her work explores how autistic youth navigate minimally-structured social settings and the behaviors associated with promoting neurodiverse social success. Houck also examines the phenomenon of identifying as autistic without a formal diagnosis, analyzing the characteristics of individuals who self-identify and the underlying reasons for this identification. Additionally, her research delves into the mechanisms of social presentation, specifically the automatic and affective processing of faces, as a strategy for passing as non-autistic during adolescence. Her publication record includes several studies on these topics, with her most recent work published in 2026. Houck has a h-index of 2 and has published a total of 6 works, which have garnered 8 citations.
