Welcome to the Bishop Lab

The Bishop Lab aims to identify and address health disparities, working to improve the wellbeing of autistic adults and adults with other developmental disabilities. Our long-term goal is to develop interventions that help these individuals age well and lead healthy, self-determined lives in their communities. Our research combines prospective data and large administrative datasets to explore the mechanisms behind these disparities.

Our Mission: To advance health outcomes and self-determination for autistic adults through inclusive, data-driven research and community partnership, empowering lifelong well-being within neurodiverse communities

Our Vision: A world where autistic adults thrive—supported by inclusive systems, grounded in evidence, and shaped by voices from the autistic community
