- Conditions
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Registration Number
- NCT00549731
- Lead Sponsor
- Massachusetts General Hospital
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to create a subject database to recruit for current and future studies in research on autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities.
- Detailed Description
Aim 1: to recruit people interested in research on autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities
Aim 2: to complete a diagnostic assessment, to confirm the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or other developmental disability (e.g., developmental language delay) in our patient population and rule out a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and other comorbid conditions in our control group
Aim 3: to maintain subject information in a database, from which we can recruit for our studies
