Sharing an opinion piece. I hope we did this topic justice. It’s not just about employment but the need for a service system that supports quality of life across people’s goals. And it’s not just about autistic people but all those with devl disabilities. scientificamerican.com/article/a-brok…

Super interesting thread. I personally haven’t heard providers claiming lived experience (yet) in autism research. But I will watch for it now. Paying more attention to explaining the “who” or “what” we are referring to feels vital for addressing “creep” of terminology.

Proud of this work to produce a community-engaged research agenda on transitions into adulthood. More findings forthcoming!
