Blasko: We talked for a long time about the barriers to inclusion for autistics with HSNs. Researchers need to develop the skills to do it. We need less gatekeeping, and to dismantle that power imbalance. Researchers needs to provide better access. I hope we are patient with each other.

Blasko and Jaswal: Many autistic people with the highest support needs have not been provided with appropriate AAC (augmentative and alternative communication).

Blasko: (using AAC in real time) I hope the questions are kind, and I have strong feelings but I am respectful [*got up to pace*] of all perspectives.

Girolamo: She focuses on how to get autistic people with high support needs services and supports, full stop.

Sutherland: An issue is that people are speaking in slightly different languages when it comes to #neurodiversity and autistic people with highest support needs.

Sutherland: when they've talked to care providers, they find out via that they actually do share goals with the #neurodiversity paradigm. And then the research speaks for itself, because it's addressing those shared goals.

A 1 I want research things that keep us out of institutions or other abusive treatments. I want reseach that helps us keep our autonomy and freedom #AUTINSAR
