The Oxford Autism Research Centre brings together scientists, charities and service providers from across Oxfordshire and the surrounding regions.
Oxford Autism Research is a collection of research teams, charities and service providers based in and around Oxfordshire. We are interested in the causes and consequences of autism spectrum condition, and together we work to promote understanding of the condition and to provide support for individuals with autism and their families.
