Are you a sibling of someone with autism who is starting your own family?

 

The Autism Science Foundation is funding a collaborative research network to identify, evaluate and support the children of typically-developing siblings of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These second-degree relatives normally do not have access to expert clinical assessments, although research shows that they have a higher probability of an autism diagnosis.  The Next Gen Sibs Project was launched in 2021 as an expansion of the Baby Siblings Research Consortium.

​

If you are the sibling of an individual with autism and are pregnant, considering expanding your family, or have a child under the age of 6 months, we invite you to join this project.   This is a unique opportunity to meet with expert clinicians during infancy to have your child's development closely monitored.   Meetings with a trained clinician are available in person and via telehealth. Please contact the location closest to you geographically, found below:
