Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture is a peer-reviewed, biannual journal that aims to document autistic culture by publishing scholarly and creative works that examine and explore it. Ought focuses contributions of the autistic community, celebrating the visual, verbal, and non-verbal accomplishments of autistic scholars, artists, and others. It also showcases the work of the scholars, scientists, parents, professionals, and other autistic-adjacent individuals who share experiences with autistic people and influence their lives. In blending creative and critical works about autism, Ought seeks to break down barriers between academic disciplines, between genres of artistic expression, between caretakers and professionals, and finally, between neurotypicals and autistics. Ought is the conversation about autism as it ought to be.
