Goals
The aim of the WGAS is to promote autism research in German-speaking countries. This applies to research work on the basics of autism as well as more applied topics such as the concrete evaluation of diagnostic or therapeutic approaches.
Blog
In our blog we report on new research findings related to autism. We also offer the opportunity to provide information about new studies for which participants are still being sought.
WTAS (Conference)
Our Scientific Conference Autism Spectrum (WTAS) takes place once a year. At the conference, researchers, practitioners, relatives and those affected can exchange ideas.
Our association
As a non-profit organization, we have been supporting autism research for over 10 years. Our board consists of leading experts in autism research.
Membership
You can support our association with a membership. As a member, you can actively help shape the association’s activities and benefit from reduced WTAS conference fees.
Resources
We offer you various sources of information with which you can obtain further information on the subject of autism as well as contacts to various umbrella organizations.
Partners & Sponsorship
We work with various initiatives in the autism field. For example, we have people from the Autism Research Cooperation (afk) as assessors.
