This is a research study that collects detailed information about children with autism spectrum disorder — including their medical history, brain scans, brain activity recordings, and genetic samples. By gathering this information from many children in one place, researchers hope to find patterns that explain why autism develops differently in different people and to discover new ways to help.
Autism affects about 1 in 100 children, but doctors still don't fully understand what causes it or why it looks so different from person to person. Researchers believe genetics play a major role, but hundreds of different genes may be involved. This study exists to collect comprehensive information that could unlock those genetic clues and help develop better treatments in the future.

You would work with the research team to share your child's existing medical records, imaging scans (like MRI or EEG), and a genetic sample (usually blood or saliva). The study collects information both looking back at past records and moving forward over time. Your child may be asked to complete some standard medical and developmental assessments, and the team will work with your family's schedule to make participation manageable.
