Enroll in research

The Autism Consortium depends on the families who have volunteered not only to join studies but also to contribute their ideas to the world's best researchers and physicians to accelerate new diagnostic tools and therapies for autism spectrum disorders.

The key to making significant progress in our understanding of autism spectrum disorders is the participation of large numbers of families in research. Since its founding in 2006, more than 250 families have become members of Autism Consortium's research team.

Our integrated clinical and research program leverages our members’ world-class strengths in research and translation to clinical care. Altogether, more than 70 scientists and physicians, many recognized as leaders in their fields, collaborate on our research and clinical programs.

Our exceptional clinical network includes departments from five major medical centers including Massachusetts General Hospital, Children’s Hospital, The Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center, Boston Medical Center and Cambridge Health Alliance.
