Closing Spectrum 10K: A Victory for Autistic Advocacy
Today the Autism Research Centre have published the Spectrum 10K consultation and what they plan to do next. During their consultation period they hear from over 500 Autistic people and parents/carers of Autistic children.The gap between the consultation finishing and their making the consultation public has been a long one (read Unpaused and Still Unethical). The ARC has suggested that changes in their study plans are due to the "considerable" advances in autism research since the study was announced five years ago.
