Autism risk factors and future outlook study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at what may cause autism and how it develops over time in children. By tracking children for at least 6 months, researchers hope to find factors that affect future outcomes, which may help guide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 17 years old
- Your child must have a confirmed autism diagnosis (using standard tests like CARS)
- A parent or legal guardian must be willing to give permission to join
- Your child cannot have a known genetic condition (like Fragile X or Down syndrome) that causes autism-like symptoms
- Your child's medical records must be complete and available
- Your family must be able to stay in the study for at least 6 months

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 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 looks at children with autism to understand patterns over time, using information from past and future records. Your involvement could help researchers learn how different needs may show up and change.
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 the connection between the bacteria in a child's gut and their development and behavior. It may help researchers understand if gut health plays a role in autism symptoms.
This observational study looks at different groups of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using existing medical records and caregiver reports. It may help researchers better understand what different autistic subgroups need, without giving an experimental treatment.
