Summary
This online article describes a research study that examined an intervention to address stigma in high school by educating typically-developing students and fostering positive interactions with their peers with ASD. The results indicate that participants who had experienced the intervention rated their peers with ASD as more similar to themselves.

The Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research group, based out of York University, writes summaries of research studies on autism and developmental disabilities to inform parents, individuals with autism, practitioners, and the general public on recent findings about autism.
