Integrating Positive Psychology and Autism: A Roundtable

In a Roundtable discussion, Integrating Positive Psychology and Autism. Proof Positive brought together autism and positive psychology experts to explore opportunities at this intersection, understand the barriers to cross-talk between these fields, and consider future directions in this first-of-its-kind discussion. While limited research exists at this intersection, the discussion made one thing clear: there is endless potential to merge positive psychology and autism services, supports, and research to enhance the wellbeing of the autism community. This publication is dedicated to Katie Curran, MAPP, whose extraordinary vision and life work of integrating the fields of positive psychology and autism to promote the wellbeing of the autism community made this roundtable possible. In the spirit of Ms. Curran’s vision, may this work inspire continued exploration and innovation toward a world where wellbeing wins for all.
