Clarivate just released the 2023 Journal Impact Factors and wow - @AutismAdulthood now has a JIF of 9.5!!! Wow! Thanks to everyone who has poured their love and energy into our journal. Goes to show the value of taking an inclusive approach to research and scholarship! Go AiA!
Honored to have become an INSAR Fellow at #INSAR2024 and deeply, eternally grateful to all the people who have been integrally involved in the work that this honor is based on (including my incredible @aaspireproject and @AutismAdulthood teams).
Greetings from our amazing @AutismAdulthood Editorial Board and special guests! If you are at #INSAR2024 / #autismINSAR come find us (wearing blue “Ask me about Autism in Adulthood” buttons). Help our journal continue to grow (and disrupt business as usual in #autism research).
(I’m temporarily coming back to X during #INSAR2024.) Looking forward to connecting with anyone here who wants to talk about @aaspireproject or @AutismAdulthood. Also feel free to reach out to any of our wonderful Autism in Adulthood board members wearing AiA buttons. Come chat!
