UWAC AUTISM STORIES
The Univers
ity of Washington Autism Center: Autism Stories Project is an idea inspired by StoryCorps, based on the belief that everyone has an important story to share, and that these stories connect and strengthen us. We invite 2 people to have a conversation about how their lives have been touched by autism, and we audio-record these conversations so that others may hear.
We hope you enjoy these edited audio-conversations below. This project is currently paused. If you would like to be contacted in the future–either to do audio-recorded conversation or to assist with the recording/editing process—please contact Dr. Kelly Johnson at uwautism@uw.edu.
Acknowledgements:
This project is possible due to the generosity of those who have shared their personal experiences through audio-taped conversations as well as time, energy, and expertise from many other people:
- Camille Puaa, an undergraduate at Berklee College of Music, is providing her equipment for recording and her skills for recording/editing audio-conversations.
- Pari Mungalpara recently graduated from UW with an undergraduate degree in Psychology. In addition to assisting on the UWAC Autism Stories project, she is a Research Assistant for the Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS).

Alexxia Woods PhD, Claire Miller, Katya Downey. - Annuska Zolyomi PhD, Yunmi Her PhD, and Kate Clark assisted with recruiting/recording/editing audio-conversations.
- Luke Morse provided his original background music.
