Summary: Infant Siblings of Children with Autism and "Typically Developing" Children

This study aims to improve early identification of Autism by examining social and language development.

What is involved?

Six visits to UCLA at ages:

• 6 months
• 9 months
• 12 months (1 yr)
• 18 months (1 1/2 yrs)
• 24 months (2 years)
• 36 months (3 years)

One parent interview in the home.
One interview completed by a teacher or daycare provider.

The child's development progress will be assessed in terms of play, social interaction, language skills, motor skills, and physical development. Participation in this research study is free of cost.

During the 6-month, 9-month, 12-month or 18-month visit (whichever you prefer) we will ask to take a small blood sample from your child, which may cause monor swelling or brusing.

Participation is entirely VOLUNTARY.

Developmental assessments can also be lengthy and tiring but we will provide you and your child plenty of time for breaks and snacks.

This study is designed for:

• Six-month old infants who are siblings of a child either disgnosed with autism or typically developing.
