We are recruiting research participants for an in-home study for mothers of children between the ages of 3 through 7 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We will ask parents about parenthood and participants will be given the opportunity to provide cheek swabs for DNA samples. Families can receive up to $90 for completing home visits.

A web-based video glossary to help parents and professionals learn more about the early warning signs of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) was created by Autism Speaks, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of autism and raising money to fund autism research. This glossary was developed together with First Signs, the leader in early identification and intervention of children with developmental delays and disorders, and Florida State University.

Little Heroes Pediatric Dentistry caters directly to children with autism.
