Study of girls with autism spectrum disorder seeks participants

The SENSE Lab is currently recruiting females with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typical development to be part of a study that examines pubertal development and social interactions in child and adolescent girls. This study will take place over a four-year period with one visit annually until the completion of the study. We invite 6-12 year old girls with ASD or typical development to be part of our research.
