 == Suggesting information to add == 

 As you can see above, I work for ARI and it was based on discussion of my redirect request that this page has now been renamed to ""Autism Research Institute"". Now that the page focuses on ARI, it seems like it would be helpful for there to be more information on what ARI actually is and does. Especially in the first line of the article, should this not be a description of what the organization is rather than stating something that it created?  

 Since it's best for me not to edit the article myself, here are a few initial suggestions for others to add. I've included links to sources to support each point: 

 *Autism Research Institute is a 501(c) organization focused on research to improve quality of life for adults and children with autism spectrum disorders. 

 *The organization was founded in 1967 by Bernard Rimland, PhD   

 *ARI collaborates with organizations including Autism Speaks to provide continuing education on adult support issues, though its Autistic Global Initiative.  

 *The organization has also collaborated with The Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Medical Education on autism spectrum disorders. 

 *Along with the Blazeman Foundation for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research, ARI co-funds the National Institute of Childhood Health and Human Development's Brain and Tissue Bank at the University of Maryland School of Medicine   

 Thank you for considering these suggestions.   "
