Autism science has transformed beyond recognition in the last two decades. International investment has grown extensively and the number of papers published on autism has increased 10-fold (Pellicano et al., 2014), far surpassing publications on related topics. The sheer amount of scientific research on autism has no doubt been instrumental in many of the discoveries and insights so eloquently described by Happé and Frith (2020). But, as autistic scientist Michelle Dawson reminds us, quality matters too and, for that reason, it is a delight to recognise the contribution that both Happé and Frith have made, dramatically changing our understanding of autism in a host of ways.
自闭症科学在过去二十年中发生了翻天覆地的变化。国际投资大幅增长，自闭症相关论文数量增加了 10 倍（Pellicano 等人，2014 年），远超相关主题的出版物。自闭症相关的科学研究无疑在许多发现和见解中发挥了重要作用，正如 Happé 和 Frith（2020 年）所描述的那样。但是，正如自闭症科学家米歇尔·道森提醒我们的那样，质量也很重要，因此，我们很高兴认识到 Happé 和 Frith 的贡献，他们以多种方式极大地改变了我们对自闭症的理解。
