Autism is a highly-regarded, peer-reviewed, international journal, published 12 times a year, featuring research of direct and practical relevance to help improve the quality of life of autistic individuals and those with closely-related diagnoses. This may sometimes include work focused on the families and allies of autistic people, and on practitioners who work with autistic people, since they play a key role in supporting good outcomes.

The journal is proudly international and encourages submissions from across the globe. To help address persistent lack of global representation of autism scholars, and to ensure that work is grounded in the context it describes, it is essential that manuscripts have author representation from the country where the work took place.

Autism provides a high-quality, international forum for peer-reviewed research of direct and practical relevance to the autism community. The journal applies rigorous peer review and expects high-quality reporting standards. The journal's success and popularity reflect the recent worldwide growth in the research and understanding of autism, and the consequent impact on the provision of care and support strategies.

Autism is interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on evaluative research in many areas, including:

  • intervention development and evaluation
  • diagnosis, including co-occurring diagnoses, and sub-groups
  • training and education
  • social sciences
  • longitudinal, cohort and routine data analyses
  • translational and / or applied neuroscience
  • psychological processes with real-world relevance
  • quality of life issues
  • family issues and family services
  • medical and genetic issues with clear and short-term practical relevance
  • epidemiological research
