Great question! Many autistic adults advocate for research that improves quality of life rather than focusing on causes or cures. According to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, most current autism research tries to prevent autism, but autistic individuals want studies that help with:

- **Daily living support**
- **Accessibility solutions**
- **Mental health resources**
- **Community inclusion**

Autism Speaks also tracks research gaps through their *Autism by the Numbers* dashboard, while the Autism Research Institute emphasizes following science that benefits autistic individuals directly.
