In 2017, members of the autism community presented us with a challenge. They observed that autism research in Quebec was happening in competing silos, disconnected from real-world issues. They urged us to work as a collective to make a bigger impact.

 

We embraced this call to action. And today, we stand proud, having transformed what once seemed like divisions—such as competitiveness and differing areas of expertise—into strengths. Through research, training, and engagement, TACC serves our community.

 

Despite progress, major knowledge gaps about autism remain in labs, clinics, schools, homes, and in policy. By connecting and mobilizing diverse perspectives and strengths in research, we can accelerate discovery and advance knowledge and practice. 

​

With our community partners, we recognize that science is about hope. Together, we will work to turn this hope into results. This is the vision of TACC.

​

Our network is creating a transformative impact through inclusive and collaborative research, improving quality of life for autistic individuals, people with other neurodevelopmental conditions, and their families. 

​

Your participation and support is central to making a real and meaningful difference in people's lives.

Welcome to your network!
