Its mission is to support research that focuses on the needs of individuals with autism and their families. OAR aims to provide funding for research projects that are practical and can lead to immediate benefits for those affected by autism. The organization also emphasizes the importance of disseminating research findings to the community to enhance understanding and support for individuals with autism.

OAR has developed various initiatives, including funding research grants, creating educational resources, and promoting awareness about autism. The organization is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with autism through research that addresses real-world challenges. By collaborating with researchers, practitioners, and families, OAR seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice, ensuring that the findings are accessible and applicable to everyday life.
