Women with Autism

We know that the female presentation and experience of autism varies, in some ways, from the male presentation and experience. Visit this page for all the information we could find on this topic.

Minorities and Neurodiversity

Stephanie Keeney Parks conducts research on the everyday lives of African American parents who have children with autism. The impetus for her research is her lived experience and mother of an autistic child.

Vanderbilt Autism Resource Line

The Vanderbilt Autism Resource Line is a single helpline to make it easier for families and professionals to find information about autism-related clinical, research, and outreach services at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The helpline serves families, caregivers, clinicians, educators, and others in need of autism-related resources at Vanderbilt and in the Nashville Community.

You speak directly to the TRIAD Family Services Coordinator, Nina Harris, an experienced professional knowledgeable about autism resources including diagnostic evaluation services, school consultation, parent workshops, and professional training.
