Welcome to our Community Newsletter!
We’re so glad you’re here.
The Autism Spectrum Program of Excellence (ASPE) is excited to welcome you to our very first Community Newsletter.
Founded in 2017, ASPE is a collaborative autism research program involving a sizable research team at the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Medicine, all dedicated to improving the quality of life for autistic individuals and their families through meaningful research. Since its founding, our ASPE community has grown to include over 750 research participants. That number includes you!
The ASPE Study brings together autistic people, their families, and researchers at Penn, all working together to deepen our understanding of autism.
Here at ASPE, we value community and belonging. Our hope is that this newsletter will be a space to share updates, celebrate progress, and stay connected with everyone who makes ASPE possible. Thank you for being part of our journey.
