The ̽̽ Autism Collaborative is a group of autistic and non-autistic family members, caregivers, researchers, clinicians and autistic adults working together to improve the quality of life for autistic people everywhere.
Dedicated to improving the lives of autistic people. |  |
The ̽̽ Autism Collaborative believes that health care should be autistic-centered.
We believe that care should concentrate on the quality of life and community inclusion of autistic people and their caregivers. We wholeheartedly believe that our goals will be achieved through engagement and partnership with autistic people, along with interdisciplinary practice. "Interdisciplinary practice" translates to multiple health care providers from many different backgrounds working together to achieve the same goals.
Please note:We use both identity-first “autistic people” and person-first language “person on the autism spectrum” to reflect the different preferences of our team members who are autistic.
The ̽̽ Autism Collaborative is a joint project of the ̽̽ Center on Disability & Community Inclusion (CDCI), the ̽̽ College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and the ̽̽ Medical Center.
