The Autism Research Institute (ARI) is the hub of a worldwide network of parents and professionals concerned with autism.

ARI also disseminates research findings to parents and others worldwide seeking help. The ARI data bank, the world's largest, contains nearly 25,000 detailed case histories of autistic children from over 60 countries. The ARI started "DAN - Defeat Autism Now!" in 1995 with the intent to get as many people as possible interest in autism.
