That's the vision behind the Australian Autism Knowledge Hub — an initiative backed by a combined $15 million investment from the @healthgovau and La Trobe University, to be based at our @OlgaTennison Autism Research Centre. "We want to make it easier for #Autistic people and their families to find out what works, quickly and without having to navigate multiple systems or trial-and-error approaches."
