Monthly News | June 2019
Dear Reader,
It's been a busy few weeks, with a visit to the United Nations, meetings to discuss plans with parent networks in Kiev and Rome, and edits on an upcoming book on a multidisciplinary approach to anxiety. We're also fielding research applications for the 2019 grant cycle, and supporting our online educational offerings and tools. We thank you for all the ways you support people with autism every day - it's our honor to help.
