Research Projects
 

Current figures suggest that as many as 1 in 100 people may have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder and research is vital to help us to understand Autism.

If you and your child would like to help with research, there are several research projects that you can take part in.

The Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge and the Open University at Milton Keynes are researching to what extent children with autism resemble their biological parents on a series of tasks.
