The PARC Study team stands for a team picture at Ron Joyce Children's Health Centre in Hamilton.
🚀PARC Study co-investigators from across Canada met in Hamilton, Ontario! We collaborated and innovated on how scientific findings can inform policies & programs for Autistic Canadians as we continue supporting the implementation of the #NationalAutismStrategy.

Yesterday, I got home after the #NationalAutismStrategy launch, culminating years of advocacy & 2 years work on the NAS Council.
But this is far from the end. I didn’t do 2 years work for the NAS to gather dust. I’ll be working to hold the #Gov accountable. Join me!

Latest from Australia’s #NationalAutismStrategy
A complex topic, esp while there’s disparate understandings of what autism is & who gets to define it, & how our lives are shaped by material & cultural conditions in which we live.
This is a good start.
