We applaud today's passage of the Autism CARES Act of 2024 by the House of Representatives. This new bill improves the foundational federal law governing our national response to autism and re-authorizes federal funds to be spent on autism research. The bill includes language throughout the text mandating greater inclusivity of research, including those with the greatest needs who have profound autism. https://lnkd.in/eU6_x682

If you are an educator, parent, or just someone who loves someone with autism who lives in the Midwest, the Thompson Center Autism Conference is the place to go. Last week, ASF participated in the conference with Lifespan Autism Research Lab - Rutgers University and AJ Drexel Autism Institute to raise awareness of the importance of understanding the brains of people on the spectrum.

#Gastrointestinal problems cause pain and suffering in people with #autism, yet they are not well treated or diagnosed. In collaboration with the Consortium for Autism, Neurodevelopmental Disorders & Digestive Diseases, ASF recently published a paper in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition focused on how GI doctors can accomodate those with #autism in their practice.

To understand the brain of people with autism, you need to study the brains of people with autism. The Autism BrainNet is a program of the Simons Foundation which promotes this research by encouraging families to learn more about postmortem brain tissue donation. On this week's Walk and Roll Live - Disability Stories, Yssa DeWoody of Ring 14 International, mother of Marie, talks about the importance of the program and her experience with donation. https://hubs.li/Q02Pwz7-0

How can environmental exposures contribute to the probability of an #autism diagnosis? What's the mechanism? It may be alteration of a brain mechanism which alters cell to cell communication at critical periods in brain development. Learn more plus a new tool from National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences on this week's #ASFpodcast. https://hubs.li/Q02P6zG30

Join us tomorrow either in person in North Carolina or virtually for a 2-day meeting hosted by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to determine the utility of a web-based tool for autism research and the environment. The project is designed to help the community keep track of the science of environmental factors in #autism and whether you are a scientist, caregiver, family member or autistic, we welcome your input.

On this September Labor Day, there is no #ASFpodcast, but please read a new article in Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice which supports disclosure of an autism diagnosis to employers. This is not the only study that has shown this and it must be a personal decision, but recent research has demonstrated the benefits of disclosure. https://hubs.li/Q02NclQ60
