INSAR ARC

Applications are now open for the next cohort for INSAR's ARC.  

The INSAR Autistic Researchers Committee (ARC) was launched in 2020 as a dedicated space within the society to serve the growing demographic of autistic autism researchers. This body, composed of autistic researchers across multiple career stages, serves to advance the interests of autistic researchers within INSAR and advocate for adequate inclusion of this group across all INSAR programs.

The aims of the Autistic Researchers Committee are as follows: 

• To directly advocate for the integration and needs of autistic INSAR members (including students, trainees, early career researchers, senior researchers, and other member types) in INSAR programs.
• To create opportunities for scientific career development for autistic autism researchers.
• To ensure autistic scientists have adequate venues to offer their insights to the field across INSAR programs.
• To encourage autistic and non-autistic researchers within INSAR to engage in more participatory research that incorporates stakeholder input.
• To make INSAR conferences more accommodating and welcoming for autistic members and attendees.
• To promote the inclusion of and consideration of issues important to autistic people in INSAR meetings and in autism research across the sciences, social sciences, humanities, education, and other disciplines.
• To advise the INSAR Board on issues important to autistic people.

Being part of ARC is an excellent opportunity to connect with and work alongside fellow students, trainees, and leaders in the field of autism research from around the world.
