Family Study of Autism at the Open University with the Autism Research Centre of Cambridge University
|
| To take part in this research, we
need you to be the biological parent
of a child with a formal autism
spectrum diagnosis. Your child must
be between 6 and 18 years old and
have at least one biological sibling,
with or without an autism spectrum
diagnosis. |
|
The purpose of this research is to
examine to what extent children
with autism resemble their parents
on a series of tasks. This study may
give us important insights about
which characteristics are shared
between parents and children and
which features are not. |
| If you and your child are interested in participating, then please contact Edward
Sucksmith directly on 01223 746030 or by email: es504@medschl.cam.ac.uk |
