“In today’s episode, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks critiques the Autism Research Centre (ARC) at Cambridge, led by Simon Baron-Cohen, for decades of research that has documented the healthcare disparities and struggles faced by autistic individuals, particularly transgender and gender-diverse autistic people, without resulting in tangible improvements or policy changes. They argue that the ARC prioritises securing funding and publishing papers over addressing the crisis, thus perpetuating a system that fails autistic people. Dr. Hoerricks calls for a redirection of funding towards autistic-led initiatives and solutions-oriented research.”
