Autism Spectrum Disorders |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of the study is to collect phenotypic (observable characteristics) and genetic
information about individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) and their families.
|
| Study summary: |
|
Participation in this research study involves two research visits, at least one of which is
at Children's Hospital Boston. The first visit lasts about 4-6 hours. On this visit, the
child will work with a research assistant on a few different cognitive assessments while one
or both parents answer interview questionnaires about the child's development, along with
other family history information. The second visit at the hospital lasts about 2 and a half
hours and involves medical history and family history questionnaires, as well as height,
weight, and head circumference measurements and a blood draw from each family member. In
addition, digital photographs will be taken of each family member and a 3-D picture of the
child's face will be taken. Shortly after the visits, participants will receive a research
report of our observations. These results include cognitive, behavioral, developmental, and
social findings. The total time commitment for the study is 6 to 8 hours. |
