Public Comments

    The IACC welcomes public comments from members of the autism 
community and asks the community to review and adhere to its Public 
Comment Guidelines. In the 2016-2017 IACC Strategic Plan, the IACC 
listed the ``Spirit of Collaboration'' as one of its core values, 
stating that, ``We will treat others with respect, listen with open 
minds to the diverse views of people on the autism spectrum and their 
families, thoughtfully consider community input, and foster discussions 
where participants can comfortably offer opposing opinions.'' In 
keeping with this core value, the IACC and the NIMH Office of Autism 
Research Coordination (OARC) ask that members of the public who provide 
public comments or participate in meetings of the IACC also seek to 
treat others with respect and consideration in their communications and 
actions, even when discussing issues of genuine concern or 
disagreement.
    A limited number of slots are available for individuals to provide 
a 2-3-minute summary or excerpt of their written comment to the 
Committee live during the virtual meeting using the virtual platform. 
For those interested in that opportunity, please indicate ``Interested 
in providing virtual comment'' in your written submission, along with 
your name, address, email, phone number, and professional/
organizational affiliation so that OARC staff can contact you if a slot 
is available for you to provide a summary or excerpt of your comment 
via the virtual platform during the meeting. For any given meeting, 
priority for live virtual comment slots will be given to those who have 
not previously provided live virtual comments in the current calendar 
year. This will help ensure that as many individuals as possible have 
an opportunity to share comments. Commenters going over their allotted 
3-minute slot may be asked to conclude immediately in order to allow 
other comments and the rest of the meeting to proceed on schedule.
    Public comments received by 5:00 p.m. ET on Friday, October 14, 
2022, will be provided to the Committee prior to the meeting for their 
consideration. Any written comments received after 5:00 p.m. ET, 
Friday, October 14, 2022, may be provided to the Committee either 
before or after the meeting, depending on the volume of comments 
received and the time required to process them in accordance with 
privacy regulations and other applicable Federal policies. The 
Committee is not able to individually respond to comments. All public 
comments become part of the public record. Attachments of copyrighted 
publications are not permitted, but web links or citations for any 
copyrighted works cited may be provided. For public comment guidelines, 
see: <a href="https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/guidelines/">https://iacc.hhs.gov/meetings/public-comments/guidelines/</a>.
