Early Markers: Early Developmental Markers for Autism Spectrum Disorders in Infants

Early Markers is a research project that attempts to improve our understanding and identification of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in infants and toddlers through careful developmental monitoring of infant siblings of children with autism in both clinic and home settings. These infant siblings are at increased genetic risk to also develop ASD and provide a unique window into the earliest manifestations of ASD.
