For this event we invited the community of those with ASC and those who support them to come and view our work and discuss possible future directions. In the process, we wished to emphasise that autism is a neurological difference, with identifiable strengths as well as social and communicative challenges.
SARG members presented their research in a large-scale poster display, and were available to discuss it further. Children and adults with ASC were invited to present their creative work. This took the form of drawings, paintings, sculpture, poetry or prose.
This was an informal drop-in event. It will included short talks by members of the ASC community, academics, and practitioners working in this area. Optional discussion groups explored the role of research in ASC, challenges and future directions. Display stalls provided information on ASC support groups and services.
