DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* \n\nAutistic people deserve to live lo
 ng\, healthy and creative lives of their own desig
 n. \n\nWe know\, however\, that Autistic people ar
 e often constrained by a range of social\, economi
 c and other environmental disadvantages and barrie
 rs\, which prohibit them from enjoying a good life
  that they have the right to expect. \n\nRecent ye
 ars have seen an explosion of new research into ho
 w we can make a meaningful difference to the life 
 experiences of Autistic people and effectively tac
 kle these inequalities\, exclusions and injustices
 . \n\nIn this talk\, Liz Pellicano will consider h
 ow we can make progress towards genuinely knowing 
 autism and supporting flourishing Autistic lives. 
 \n\nShe will discuss some of the key fundamental d
 imensions\, which might be considered a crucial co
 mponent part of a good\, or flourishing\, life for
  Autistic people – and ask what it is we currently
  know about these dimensions from current research
 \; what we don’t know but could straightforwardly 
 find out\; and in what ways we will need radically
  to innovate to make new discoveries.  \n\n*Speake
 r Biography:*\n\nProfessor Liz Pellicano is commit
