Environment and genes in teen autism study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how things in the environment around you might affect your genes and body chemistry, and how that connects to mental health in teens with autism. You'll wear a small device at home and come for study visits to help researchers learn more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Teenager with autism (age not specified here, but typically adolescent)
- Able to talk and interact verbally
- Willing to wear a device at home and come back for study visits
- Have a parent or guardian's permission and be willing to agree to the study yourself
- Have a smartphone you can use

This study looks at the genetic and molecular profiles of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to better understand the condition and find new treatments. It compares children with ASD who have no known genetic cause to those with a specific genetic syndrome.
This study looks at parents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their young children, aged 0 to 6 years. It aims to understand their parenting experiences and needs, and includes a control group of parents without psychiatric diagnoses.
This study is testing a new questionnaire designed to measure how much people with autism 'camouflage' or hide their autistic traits. It aims to better understand this behavior in teens and young adults.
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.
This study looks for genetic reasons for autism by collecting blood samples from people with autism, people without autism, and their relatives. The results may help researchers better understand causes and risk factors, even if you only participate through testing a sample.
This study tests if the antidepressant escitalopram can improve brain function in teenagers with autism. Participants will take the medicine and have brain scans (MRI) to see how it affects brain activity.
