This trial tests if the steroid prednisone can help adults with moderate-to-severe autism who also have signs of immune system problems, like autoimmune disease or inflammation. It might offer a new treatment option for people whose autism is linked to immune activity.
Lexington, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT05035511Recruiting
Predicting tDCS results in autistic teens with machine learning
This study uses machine learning to predict how well a teen with autism may respond to tDCS, a non-invasive brain stimulation. It mainly looks at personal factors (like understanding instructions and baseline abilities) to better estimate treatment outcomes.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–22 - NCT06227780Recruiting
Sound therapy for thinking and sensory issues in kids with developmental disorders
This trial tests whether special sound patterns played through headphones can help improve thinking and reduce sensitivity to noise in children with Fragile X syndrome or autism. The study uses a short daily listening program over several weeks to see if it makes a difference.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 5–10 - NCT06309160Recruiting
Helping students with autism transition to adulthood
This study tests a program to help students with autism transition to adult life. It is for students, caregivers, teachers, and job specialists who want to improve these important life changes.
Muncie, IndianaAges 16–99 - NCT06495684Recruiting
A brain stimulation study for adults with autism
This trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) over multiple sessions can improve thinking, behavior, and brain activity in adults with autism. It may help researchers learn if this safe, noninvasive treatment can support better daily functioning.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18–35 - NCT06859918Recruiting
Social skills program for adults with autism
This study tests a social and emotional program called TUNE In 3.0 for adults with autism. It is designed to help improve social connections and emotional well-being.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02168868Recruiting
Blood tests to find autism-related protein signals
This study looks at blood samples from children (and sometimes parents) to see if certain protein patterns can help identify or better understand autism spectrum disorder. The results could support finding “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs that may guide future research or care.
JerusalemAges 10 months–19 years - NCT03222375Recruiting
Home treatment for autism using special sound and imaging devices
This trial studies a home-based treatment for autism (or related conditions) using specially designed sound, image, and electromagnetic devices. It aims to see whether this personalized “treatment code” and device approach can improve autism-related skills and behaviors.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 1 month–21 years - NCT07637799Recruiting
Parent support group for teens with autism and anxiety or depression
This study tests whether a parent support group helps families manage anxiety or depression in teenagers who have autism. The group teaches parents skills to support their teen at home.
GothenburgAges 12 years+ - NCT07521371Enrolling by invitation
Intranasal Insulin for Autism in Children and Young Adults
This study observes how intranasal insulin (a form of insulin delivered through the nose) affects children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder who are already using or planning to use it as part of their regular care. Researchers will track changes in behavior and social skills over about 6 months.
Spring, TexasAges 4–21 - NCT07149974Enrolling by invitation
Neurofeedback training for autistic children
This trial tests a brain training technique called neurofeedback for children with autism. The goal is to see if it can help improve how the brain works and possibly reduce autism-related challenges.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 8–12 - NCT06756711Enrolling by invitation
Supplement combination for children with autism
This trial tests whether a combination of supplements can help children with autism spectrum disorder. It involves taking oral supplements daily for 6 months, along with blood tests and behavior assessments at the start, midpoint, and end.
BucharestAges 3–14 - NCT04805957Enrolling by invitation
Check brain and behavior markers during sulforaphane in autism
This study tests whether “digital biomarkers” (measurable signs from digital devices) change during treatment with sulforaphane, which is found in certain broccoli extracts. It may help researchers better understand which signals track response in young men with autism.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 13–30 - NCT06142955Recruiting
TMS therapy for depression in autism spectrum disorder
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, can help treat depression in people with autism spectrum disorder. It may help if you are between 18 and 40, have autism and depression, and are not taking medications that could interfere.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–40 - NCT05863520Recruiting
Two school programs to help anxious autistic students
This study compares two school-based programs to reduce anxiety in autistic students ages 8–14. You may be able to help test which approach works better when delivered by trained school staff with caregiver involvement.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 7–15 - NCT07114770Recruiting
Theta Burst Stimulation for Autism in Adults
This study tests whether a painless brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) can help autistic adults when applied to the cerebellum. The goal is to see if one session or multiple sessions improve symptoms.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06649916Recruiting
Learning words from parent speech in autistic children
This study looks at how autistic and non-autistic toddlers learn new words when parents talk to them in a special, engaging way. It may help understand how to support language development.
Richardson, TexasAges 1.5 years–4.9 years - NCT05492032Recruiting
Brain stimulation sessions for teens with autism symptoms
This trial tests whether repeated, brain-based stimulation (done through the scalp) can improve symptoms in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, and whether a later “booster” session adds more benefit. It may help learn which stimulation schedule works best, especially when teens also have attention symptoms—but not epilepsy or mood/anxiety disorders.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–21 - NCT06272669Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy for teens with autism
This study tests whether repeated sessions of a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help teenagers with autism feel calmer or more focused. The treatment is non-invasive and involves wearing a cap with electrodes for about 20 minutes at a time.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 12–21 - NCT05681923Recruiting
Pregnancy study tracking how brain development risk may run in families
This study follows pregnant parents and their child to understand what factors influence early brain and development. It compares families with an autistic sibling (higher risk) to families without (lower risk) to spot patterns that may help future care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for autistic disorders spectrum?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 64 recruiting autistic disorders spectrum studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a autistic disorders spectrum trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a autistic disorders spectrum trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
