This research study wants to understand how autism affects the brain, particularly in areas related to social behavior and kindness toward others. Researchers will compare brain scans and behavioral responses between children diagnosed with autism and children without autism. The goal is to learn more about the brain differences that may explain why children with autism sometimes respond to social situations differently.
Scientists know that autism affects how children interact socially, but they don't fully understand which brain networks are involved. This study aims to fill that gap by directly comparing brain activity in both groups, which could lead to better understanding and support for children with autism in the future.

If you join this study, your child will come in for at least one visit where they will have a brain MRI scan (a painless imaging test) and complete some assessments to measure social behavior and responses. The researchers will compare the results between children with autism and typically developing children to look for differences in how their brains work during social situations. The entire process is observational, meaning no medication or treatment is being given — just measurements and scans.
