Study Background

Researchers at Yale University are attempting to establish tools that can be used as biomarkers and/or sensitive and reliable objective assays of social function in autism spectrum disorder clinical trials.

The Autism Biomarkers Consortium for Clinical Trials (ABC-CT) is a research study to understand how to better measure social skills in school-age autistic children. We are currently recruiting both non-autistic children and children with a diagnosis of autism between the ages of 6 and 11 years old. A diagnostic and cognitive evaluation is provided to all participants at no cost and participants will be compensated.
