Pukki et al. (2022)

The Global Autistic Task Force critiques the Lancet Commission's autism research agenda for its limited inclusion of autistic voices, overemphasis on behavioral interventions, and introduction of problematic terms like “profound autism.” They argue the Commission fails to reflect the priorities of autistic communities, such as access to healthcare, human rights, and participatory research. The Task Force calls for autistic-led, inclusive, and ethical research grounded in neurodiversity, where autistic people are not only consulted but have decision-making power in setting the research agenda.
