This roundtable discussion will explore the importance of working with autistic community members in research, through co-production, involvement or participatory research, and how to do it well, so that it is meaningful for both researchers and participants. Autistica is the UK’s autism research charity. We focus on giving autistic people the opportunity to live long, happy, healthy lives by funding research, shaping policy and working with autistic people to understand their needs.
