    Abstract

    A paradigm shift of research culture is required to ease perceived tensions between autistic people and the biomedical research community. As a group of autistic and non-autistic scientists and stakeholders, we contend that through participatory research we can reject a deficit-based conceptualisation of autism whilst building a shared vision for a neurodiversity-affirmative biomedical research paradigm.
