Network activities

This website is a way of engaging with other scholars working within a similar approach and others interested in autism; facilitating both the exchange of ideas and an opportunity present our work to a broad international audience.

The network will also discuss and share ideas through the use of a blog; and face-to-face, bringing the group together physically to write and present their work to each other as well as to a wider community.

There are three face to face meetings of the network:
