Would you like to learn about your baby's emotional development? Do you have an older child or other family member with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?
You can play an important role in research discovery by enrolling your baby in a study on early emotional development. We are recruiting infants 4 months of age or younger who have an older sibling or other relative with ASD.
Participation involves brief visits that include developmental assessments, watching videos, and play-based activities to assess emotional development from 4 months through 30 months of age. Follow your child’s individual development along with our clinical and research staff.
Families are compensated up to $300 for study participation. Free, safe, and secure parking is provided.

Are you a parent or guardian of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)? Are you an adult diagnosed with ASD?
SPARK study at Yale - all ages welcome
SPARK is a growing community of individuals, families, and researchers on a mission to speed up the understanding of autism. Our aims are to:
- Collect DNA from saliva samples and information through surveys from 50,000 people with autism and both of their parents and share that data with researchers.
- Make breakthroughs that were never before possible and return our findings to you.
- SPARK is sponsored by the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) and Yale is one of more than 30 participating hospitals and clinics across the country.
Why join SPARK?
- Find possible genetic contributors to autism in your own family and power future autism research for years to come.
- Join other autism research studies and get updates on the latest autism research.
- Connect with a community of 1400 SPARK participants in our region!
You can receive up to $50 Amazon gift card for participation.
Registration can be completed entirely online and from home at www.SPARKforAutism.org/Yale or by scheduling an appointment with the Yale study team.

The Autism Biomarkers Consortium for Clinical Trials (ABC-CT)
The McPartland Lab at the Yale Child Study Center has a clinical study available that examines your child’s social, communication, and cognitive skills. This research will lead to new methods to develop, track, and assess treatments inAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
We are currently recruiting both typically developing children and children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder between the ages of 6 to 11 years old.
You will receive a psychoeducational evaluation describing your child’s development over six months as well as compensation up to $300 for participating in the study.
To learn more about our study or to participate, please call us at 203-785-6108 or email our team at abc-ct@yale.edu.

Have you have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and are 15-45 years old?
If you have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the AuRoRa Borealis Study may be an option to consider. It is a research study evaluating an oral investigational drug to see if it may help improve some of the core symptoms and the quality of life of adolescents and adults with moderate to severe autism.
You may be eligible to participate if you meet the following criteria:
- Have been diagnosed with ASD
- 15 to 45 years of age
- Exhibit moderate to severe communication issues and repetitive behaviors
Note: This study requires that the participant have a study support person participate in the study with them. This person does not have to be the participant’s primary caregiver, but it should be someone the participant knows well.
For more information about the study, or if you are interested in participating, please email Dr. Roger Jou at roger.jou@yale.edu.

TMS study for adults with autism or typical development
This study will evaluate the effects of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), a type of noninvasive brain stimulation, on the social brain. TMS is a therapy that has been approved for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder and we are looking to see if it can also help those with ASD. This method uses magnetic waves administered in a train of pulses to influence brain activity. A participant visit includes a baseline assessment of neuropsychological, cognitive and behavioral function and an EEG and eye-tracking session to measure visual and social responses before and after TMS.
Participation requires 2 visits and participants must be between the ages of 18-40 years old.
*Please note that we are not currently enrolling females with typical development at this time
Compensation is $100 per visit to participate.
To learn more or see if you are eligible to participate, please call our team at 203-737-3439 or email autism@yale.edu.
