See the report from Hopkins Van Mil and Karen Leneh Buckle, and a reflective blog by Simon Baron-Cohen: www.autismresearchcentre.com/projects/spe...
- Spectrum 10k has been permanently halted. A historic win for autistic communities, which will likely have a significant impact on how research funding is allocated in the future. Nothing about us without us! (ht/ @drstevenkapp.bsky.social) www.autismresearchcentre.com/projects/spe...
