New site promotes awareness, education and sensitivity
The Autism Research Institute is pleased to announce the release of its new web site autismdiscrimination.com. The site highlights the work of the Autism Human Rights and Discrimination Initiative - a task force created to address human rights violations and discrimination against persons with autism and other cognitive challenges internationally.
The website is intended to demonstrate to parents, physicians, and research scientists that recovery is a reality for a significant percentage of children with autism.

ARI calls on governments, corporations, and community agencies to help people with autism thrive and feel accepted as part of society, rather than be subjected to blanket discrimination and exclusion stemming from widespread ignorance.
