Healthy Living: New Autism Study

Autism spectrum disorders affect 1 in 68 people.

Now, researchers are collecting information and DNA samples from 50,000 people with autism and their family members, and they’re sharing that information with other top autism experts and researchers in the nation.

They believe such a large database of information will start to unravel some of the genetic mysteries behind the disorder.

researchers are still looking for more people with autism and their families to sign up for the study.

You can even do it online and receive a free sample collection kit that you can mail in.

Those who participate will have access to care and support groups where they can share information and learn about any new developments researchers make along the way.
