A new study examining stress and arousal across pubertal development in youth with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is now enrolling participants, thanks to a $2.3 million, five-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Blythe Corbett, PhD, associate professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and colleagues within the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center and SENSE Lab will be following 240 participants — half with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of ASD and half who are typically developing — between the ages of 10-13 for four years through a series of annual visits.
