We welcome submissions from academics and expert practitioners, and especially from those who are themselves on the autism spectrum, on the following topics related to this broad theme:

• What is the current state of autism-related practice in key fields such as education, employment, and healthcare?
• In what ways are current practices in fields such as education, employment and healthcare underpinned (or not) by well-designed public or institutional policy
• What new forms of policy development are needed, and how might these be actioned?
• What differences can be observed and analysed between subgroups, with attention to intersectional identities, regarding autism-related practices and/or policies?
• What practical steps can practitioners and policymakers take to include a diverse cross-section of people with autism in policymaking, programme/service design and service delivery?
