This study looks at whether adults with autism (without intellectual disability) experience central sensitization, a condition where the nervous system becomes overly sensitive to stimuli. It aims to understand how common this is and why it matters for treatment.
This study looks at how people with autism (and some without autism) react during a routine blood test. Researchers will watch and measure behavior and body responses to better understand distress and comfort during needle procedures.
This study tests Autimia, a digital tool designed to help adults with autism manage stress and emotional difficulties. You'll use the app at home while researchers track whether it improves your wellbeing.
This study looks at brain and behavior in children and young adults with autism, ADHD, or Developmental Coordination Disorder, and also in infants who were born prematurely or had birth complications. It aims to find biological markers (signs in the body) that may predict anxiety and depression, which could lead to better support and treatments.
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 tests a new way to check vital signs (like heart rate and temperature) in children with autism who are in the emergency room. The goal is to make the experience less stressful for your child, using a device that may be more comfortable than traditional methods.
