About the Network

The Autism Research Network (ARN) has been set up in response to informal discussions with parents and practitioners in the Hampshire area. 

The primary aim of ARN is to create a forum to promote a genuine communication channel amongst researchers, practitioners, cares, parents and individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD’s) in order to improve the lives of autistic individuals and their families. We hope to achieve this aim by:

  • creating opportunities to disseminate and discuss, research findings
  • sharing information regarding services and regarding the latest advances in interventions
  • facilitating collaborative links between scientists and clinicians interested in the study of ASD’s working in the UK
  • providing useful online information about autism
  • raising awareness of autism in the wider community

 

We also seek to consult autistic people and their families, as well as professionals before we start a research project to ensure their views are reflected and their needs are met by our research projects.
