Sally Ozonoff is looking for early signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in videos of hundreds of younger siblings of children with autism.

Autism researchers need no longer worry that their basic research will become entangled in the red tape associated with clinical trials.

Scanning the brains of a single individual over months to years may illuminate daily fluctuations in activity relevant to conditions such as autism, says Russell Poldrack.

Asking people with autism and their families about the challenges they face could help researchers test treatments for the condition.

Adults who have autism speak with unusual emphases and tone, but their speech still conveys the intended emotions.

Honey bees that fail certain social tests have genetic profiles similar to those of people with autism.

An epilepsy drug may prevent seizures in infants with tuberous sclerosis and alleviate their autism features, says Martina Bebin.

A new ‘knowledge engine’ collects reams of behavioral and sensory data to create highly sensitive outcome measures for autism drugs.

A team of researchers is stepping out of the lab and into the community to recruit African-Americans for studies on the genetics of autism.

Despite the completion of hundreds of imaging studies in people with autism, researchers have yet to find features that distinguish people with the condition.
