FLINDERS University's Autism Research Laboratory has received nearly $850,000 in funding to launch a new autism research initiative, bolstered by a $500,000 donation from an anonymous donor and university support over five years.
The initiative aims to serve as a global hub, fostering connections between academia, healthcare, industry, and autistic organisations to accelerate research and develop tangible support for the 75 million people worldwide living with autism.
Flinders University Prof Robyn Young, who leads the project, highlighted its potential.
"This funding allows us to expand our research, enhance early detection, and improve outcomes for autistic individuals," said Young.
The program will also focus on identifying autistic women, understanding co-occurring health conditions, help individuals navigate the criminal justice system, and drive forward evidence-based approaches to support the autism community.
