Description
We want to study how brain function and structure change in childhood. We will compare brain measures in children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who are between the ages of 10-13 years old.

Eligibility and criteria
IRB Number:
22-020519
Eligible age range:
10 years - 13 years
Clinical trial phase:
Pilot
Official title:
Continuation of a Longitudinal Study of Brain Development in Children with Autism

What to expect
We want to follow children over time. We will ask you and your child to visit CHOP about every 18 months for 3 years (three visits). We will have your child do tests of language, problem-solving, and basic academic skills as well as non-invasive (safe) brain imaging. We will pay you for your time and provide free parking.
