The BASIS CANVAS programme, based at the IoPPN and the Birkbeck Babylab & Toddlerlab, invites you to explore the Autism Research: Growing Up exhibition this June.

BASIS CANVAS asked families about their current experiences of living in a neurodiverse family. We display these stories alongside a history of evolving research to trace the shift from early studies on "face processing" and the "social brain" to modern frameworks of sensory processing and individual trajectories.
