Greetings!
Distributing science-based information and amplifying essential issues was our focus throughout April (Autism Awareness Month). We were instrumental in organizing the 9th annual international conference in Moscow, and we co-sponsored a talk on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with the World Autism Organisation.
Last month we also released my digital call-to-action about the need for an accepted standard of care for all individuals on the spectrum, and an editorial I cowrote with Dr. Marvin Natowicz, ARI's board chair, about the need to focus more of our efforts on the challenging behaviors many adults with autism engage in.
We are also completing a multidisciplinary book this month on the co-occurring sleep disturbances experienced by many individuals with autism. Jessica Kingsley Publishers expects to publish the book toward the end of the year.

Thanks to You,
research is moving forward

Earlier this year, we took time to pause and examine the impact ARI has had on the autism community. This gave us a chance to take stock of last year's initiatives and share our progress. Our 2020 Impact Report illustrates what we are doing to bring our mission to life. We are grateful for the chance to share the results of last year's work, which was possible through the partnership with our donors, funders, families,
and volunteers.
