Recent research demonstrates that autistic people, their families and professionals often feel that there remains a sharp divide between autism science and key aspects of everyday autistic life, despite significant public investment in that science. This proposed research investigates reasons for this divide and proposes ways in which it might be overcome. Expected outcomes include greater opportunities for autistic people to play active roles in the research process and more scientific experimentation that moves out of the laboratory and into more true-to-life settings. Bridging the gap between lab and life will result in better theory-building on autism, better translation of scientific discoveries and more robust policy recommendations.

最近的研究表明，尽管公共对自闭症科学投入了大量资金，但自闭症患者、他们的家人和专业人士常常认为，自闭症科学与自闭症日常生活的关键方面之间仍然存在巨大分歧。这项拟议的研究调查了这种分歧的原因，并提出了克服这种分歧的方法。预期成果包括让自闭症患者有更多机会在研究过程中发挥积极作用，以及更多走出实验室并进入更真实生活环境的科学实验。弥合实验室和生活之间的差距将有助于更好地建立自闭症理论、更好地转化科学发现以及更强有力的政策建议。
