His research focuses on sensory-motor differences in children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and fetal alcohol syndrome. Dr. Lidstone aims to enhance early detection and intervention strategies through collaboration with colleagues at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University. He has developed innovative, low-cost video games designed to assess sensory preferences in children with autism, which highlight that these children may struggle with dynamic visual information but prefer intrinsic proprioceptive feedback.
