Next Generation Siblings Study

Our Goal

parent playing with a child

We hope to learn more about early development in babies with an autistic aunt or uncle.

Our goal is to identify autism as early as possible and to estimate the likelihood that parents with an autistic sibling will have a child with autism. This will help families support children to live their most fulfilling lives.
