Masters autism arts dissertation help

[Cogs Of My Cranium]

I've decided that I'd like to do my masters dissertation on the value of arts participation, particularly in relation to autism as I'm on the spectrum. I'm on the look out for case studies for this. I was wondering if anyone could point me in a good direction. I'm interested in things like:
How are arts projects for autism/learning disabilities formulated?
On what social theories/structures are this approaches based on?
How can art for the disabled position itself compared with STEM activities?
What are experiences like for funding applications for artists and how can this be made better?
What can be done with art to develop disability culture?
Artist and participant experiences.
Any help would be appreciated

Just a thought, but you might want to contact a few art therapists; maybe call a college in your area that offers an art therapy degree? In any case, here's some links that might help:
