Research Study on High Functioning Autism for Children 8-12
The Kennedy Krieger Institute is actively seeking children with and without autism (ages 8 to 12) to participate in a research study on high functioning autism to investigate brain structure and functioning in children with and without autism spectrum disorders.
The study involves an IQ test, paper & pencil tasks, computer activities, and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Parents will receive a report summarizing their child’s performance on the IQ test. Each participant will receive a $50 check and a picture of their brain.
There are no significant risks or direct medical benefits for participating in this study. This study has been reviewed and approved by the Johns Hopkins Institutional Review Board.
