About Us
The Association for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research (ONAD) was founded in 2025 to conduct scientific research on autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental differences, raise public awareness, and develop supportive projects. Through evidence-based work, ONAD aims to improve quality of life for individuals and to provide guidance to families, educators, and health professionals.
Our association carries out research, education, and advocacy activities with a strong community of academics, specialists, families, and volunteers. We work to develop innovative solutions in autism and neurodevelopment, support scientific studies, and foster an inclusive understanding in society.
Through national and international collaborations, ONAD aims to strengthen early diagnosis processes and to develop individualized interventions and research-based support systems. By building evidence-based programs for children, families, and professionals, we aim to create a more informed and sustainable support network.
We are here to build a more inclusive future through science-based solutions!
