Description: Sometimes parents get a bad rap for not having autism themselves, or not being in touch with the challenges of autistic adults.  This week's ASF Podcast highlights two new studies on the role parents play in science, research and understanding racial disparities.  A group in the United Kingdom released the results of a survey across Europe which examined parent perceptions on early autism research (think infants and toddlers) and how researchers could better help families at this stage.  Another study from researchers in Georgia and Connecticut revealed how important parents (and clinicians) can be in reducing the disparity in diagnosis between black and white children in the US.  Finally, a call to unite over a common challenge: employment.  If you have not done so already, please make your voice heard as a parent, autistic adult, employer or service provider on a survey gauging the needs of the entire autism community around employment.  http://www.lernerlab.com/employmentsurvey.html    Here are the references used in this podcast: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4230972/  https://www.autismspeaks.org/sites/default/files/docs/as_science_planning_survey_final_pdf_0.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29126359 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29100475
