Wales Autism Research Centre (WARC) was initiated through a unique collaboration between Autism Cymru and Autistica, the School of Psychology, Cardiff University and the Welsh Assembly Government. We research risk factors, identification, diagnosis, cognitive development and intervention. Based in the School of Psychology, we engage in multidisciplinary research collaboration across the following areas: developmental psychology, vision sciences, cognitive psychology, neurobiology, brain imaging, genetics, psychiatry, psychophysiology. Our research also includes a practitioner-focus. We study and use research evidence in services for autism, and contribute to awareness-raising. A unique goal, made possible by the ASD Government Strategy in Wales, is to integrate scientific research findings with policy.
