Check out this blog on community participation and policy for the autism community!

[Policy Impact Project @impact_policy]

For #policy to improve the lives of #autistic people, it's not enough to look at individual interventions. Let's focus on outside factors that play a role in building & supporting a thriving #autisticcommunity.

The Policy Impact Project is a joint venture of the Policy and Analytics Center and the Life Course Outcomes Research Program @Drexelautism. We use research findings to propel systems-level #policy solutions and help researchers identify policy-relevant research questions.

Systems & services connect & intersect. When one is disrupted, it may cause a ripple effect. @KFF’s brief discusses #Medicaid’s role for kids w/ special education plans who missed out on instructional time & services resulting from the pandemic.

This diagram is brought to you by the "be honest" conversation I've been having. (Seriously thank you to non-autistic people for your thoughts because I actually didn't know that's how people felt when they said "Be honest" and the conversation has been helpful.)

A repeated message from #INSAR2021 is the importance of building sustainable research capacity to design the most accessible interventions that could be done by nonspecialists, families, and individuals, at home and in communities (Dr. V. Patel) #insar_culturaldiversity

[Wei Song @wsongres]

Stigma is a unanimous barrier for autistic people to get out in the comunnities. Not only to address it in one setting, but think about how to increase autism awareness and knowledge for all. Thanks for great panel by @DesiRJones @JacdenHouting @DrMBotha @DrEilidh #INSAR2021

[Wei Song @wsongres]

@KristenBott I absolutely agree! There should be more funding to build community capacity and support interventions based on social ecological model

[Wei Song @wsongres]

Today's takeaway: To implement intervention effectively, we need to remove structural and systematic barriers. Oftentimes it's not about individual skills, instead it's about how to build the community capacity to support autistic individuals #INSAR2021

[Wei Song @wsongres]

Learned so much from the keynote speaker P. J. de Vries! While talking about the representation of publications from the low- to middle-income counties, it's also important to make publications accessible to more researchers and the public across the world #INSAR2021
