Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture is a peer-reviewed, biannual journal that publishes scholarly and creative works examining and exploring autistic culture. Ought is dedicated to amplifying autistic voices and centering autistic creativity, while including contributions from allistic caregivers, educators, and allies. We strive to create a community that mentors early career researchers, poets, and artists, as well as showcasing the work of leading scholars​ in the field. Ought is committed to celebrating autistic joy and artistry while offering honest and authentic explorations of difficulty and challenge. In blending creative and critical works about autism, Ought also seeks to break down barriers between academic disciplines, between genres of artistic expression, and finally, between autistics and allistics. Ought is the conversation about autism as it ought to be.
