Research Study Description

The purpose of this study is to identify biomarkers of ASD that correlate with behavioral and developmental phenotypes in order to develop and test biomarker profiles that form a diagnostics tool; screen and identify children with ASD who might benefit from specific interventions; develop and test biomarker profiles that inform an instrument for monitoring therapeutic response to medical interventions; and improve the clinical well-being of affected children and increase our knowledge base of this disorder.

Your participation will require two parts:
i) Completion of several questionnaires (done online from home)
ii) Visiting a national lab service center such as Quest, Lab Corp or CPL for a single blood draw

Who is eligible?
Boys and girls ages 18 months to 8 years of age with a diagnosis of ASD. Control children that do not have ASD can also participate.

Participants must live in the US and be fluent in English.

Participants will be compensated $125 after completing the study.
