Policy and PR Events run by Research Autism

Houses of Parliament

Research Autism is committed to ensuring that government and other agencies understand the importance of our work and the need for effective research into autism.

Most of our policy work takes place away from the limelight. However, sometimes we organise public events which are designed to promote the same message to a wider audience.
