You Can Transform Autism Research

SPARK is a landmark research study that aims to accelerate the understanding of autism, by building a cohort of thousands of individuals with autism and their family members. Stanford School of Medicine is one of more than 30 clinical sites—autism centers and research institutions—that SPARK has partnered with across the country to power important research about autism.  Any individual with a professional diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, along with their parents and siblings, can participate. Participation is simple, free and can be completed entirely online.
