At the Autism Research Institute (ARI), we believe that advancing knowledge about autism is essential to improving the health and well-being of autistic people. Since the 1960s, ARI has supported innovative autism research and shared science-based information about autism with autistic individuals, families, clinicians, and researchers worldwide. By funding early-stage autism research, convening leading autism experts, and providing free, accessible autism education, ARI helps ensure that emerging autism research and peer-reviewed findings are widely shared and translated into practical approaches. These efforts support the health, quality of life, and long-term outcomes of autistic people across the lifespan.
