世界各地的自闭症研究资金不成比例地投资于生物和遗传研究，尽管有证据表明社区成员没有优先考虑这些主题。我们试图通过分析澳大利亚的自闭症研究投资组合，确定2008年至2017年期间澳大利亚自闭症研究资金格局中是否存在类似的模式。我们还研究了自2013年成立自闭症合作研究中心（Autism CRC）以来，这种资助模式是否发生了任何变化。总体而言，2008年至2017年期间，澳大利亚自闭症研究资金与其他国家类似，但在过去5年中发生了变化。需要取得进一步的进展，使研究经费符合社区的优先事项。
Autism research funding across the world has disproportionately been invested in biological and genetic research, despite evidence that these topics are not prioritized by community members. We sought to determine whether a similar pattern was evident in Australia's autism research funding landscape between 2008 and 2017, by analysing the nation's portfolio of autism research investments. We also examined whether there was any change in this pattern of funding since the establishment in 2013 of the Cooperative Research Centre for Living with Autism (Autism CRC). Overall, Australian autism research funding during 2008-2017 followed a similar pattern to other countries, but shifted in the past 5 years. Further progress is required to bring research funding into line with community priorities.
