Welcome to the Duke Center for Autism & Brain Development

We are dedicated to ensuring that autistic individuals reach their fullest potential, allowing society to benefit from the talents and perspectives that neurodivergent individuals offer. Designated a National Institutes of Health Autism Center of Excellence, we work in partnership with autistic individuals, their families, and the broader community to realize this goal.
