Autism Study
Public post:
This was in today's Seattle PI, in case you know anyone who would be interested.
UW looking for babies for autism study
The University of Washington is looking for babies to participate in a national autism study that examines changes in infants' brains over time.
Headed by the University of North Carolina, the infant brain imaging study builds on two recent findings about autism: That autistic toddlers have larger brains than non-autistic toddlers, and that the social deficits of autism do not materialize until a child is almost 2.
Researchers in the latest project are looking for 6-month-old infants with an older, autistic sibling. They are also looking for infants with a non-autistic, older sibling. Participants will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging scan of their brain at 6, 12 and 24 months of age.
Families can earn $225 for the entire study. Imaging must be done in Seattle; travel money will be provided. Anyone interested should contact the UW's Autism Center at 800-994-9701 or ddrinfo@u.washington.edu.
