UCLA Functional Brain Imaging Study of Autism

UCLA Functional Brain Imaging Study of Autism -- Research Study
Help us gain a better understanding of children with autistic spectrum
disorder (high functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome) by having
your child participate in a study of brain structure and function conducted by
Dr. Susan Bookheimer in collaboration with Dr. Marian Sigman. [Normally
developing children are invited to participate to form a comparison group.]

Your child must be in good health between the ages of 7-18; have a
previous diagnosis of autism or Asperger's [or be a normally developing child];
must not wear braces.

Children with autism or Asperger's will receive a diagnostic evaluation
to determine if they qualify for the
study. Children that qualify will have a functional magnetic resonance
imaging scan of their brain during a
second visit. Participants will be paid $25 per visit.

[Normally developing children will receive a brief language assessment
and have a functional magnetic
resonance imaging scan of their brain during one visit and earn $25.]
