Campus Construction Update
Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Adjective
Describes someone with autism, a developmental disability that affects how individuals experience the world.
Note: Many self-advocates and their allies tend to use identity-first language, e.g. autistic person, understanding that autism as an inherent part of an individual’s identity. Many in the autism community feel that person first language (e.g. individual with autism) treats autism like a disease when it is not.
