On the 29th February, the research team was invited to Rome by the Italian Autism Foundation (FIA) to participate in the event ‘Sosteniamo Sguardi – 9 years of the Italian Autism Foundation’.

The event had a twofold objective:

• to present the institutional profile of FIA and its specific aims;
• to provide opportunities for participants to meet researchers who have conducted or are conducting research on behalf of persons with autism thanks to FIA funding.
