Some $2 million in research funding for Brisbane's Autism Cooperative Research Centre will be used to inform educators, employers and health professionals on ways to be more inclusive of people living with autism.
Ms Rishworth said the information needed within CRC research was largely healthcare and employer-based.
"I've heard from a number of employers that some of the skills that some people have with autism are really attractive. "It's really important because it's evidence-based, it's not just someone's idea … which means we get the best outcome."Autism Queensland ambassador and singer Emma Tomlinson told ABC presenter Rebecca Levingston that funding research would help give more support for kids growing up with the neurodevelopmental condition."This is something I didn't have growing up, support at school and university," Ms Tomlinson said.
