Autism (journal)
Academic journal for autism research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Autism is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on autism. It is published eight times a year by SAGE Publications in association with the National Autistic Society. The journal was established in 1997 and the editor-in-chief is Sue Fletcher-Watson (University of Edinburgh).
The cover originally contained a puzzle piece but this was removed in 2018 after the journal decided that it evoked a negative public perception.[1]
