What We Do

• Host three free public events each year
• Promote acceptance, awareness, and understanding of autism
• Facilitate and encourage new, effective ways of working
• Conduct innovative research shaped by the priorities of autistic people
• Ensure experiential knowledge is at the core of our research
• Support participatory research that is done with, not just about, autistic people
• Translate research into meaningful impact on autistic people’s daily lives

Why It Matters

• We prioritise involvement of autistic people as participants and co-researchers
• We believe that autistic voices must be heard, seen, and understood
• We are committed to co-production, equity, and real-world change
