Dr. Greenlee presented on “Minority Stress in Autism: Challenges and Resilience in Transition-Age Youth,” exploring how stress impacts the mental health, education, and employment outcomes of autistic young adults as part of the Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation (CASSBI) Seminar Series.
