Children and adults who have been diagnosed with an ASD (autism, Asperger's, or PDD-NOS) and live in North Carolina are eligible to join the UNC Autism Research Registry.
What Happens After I Join?
Registry members will receive referrals by mail when they are eligible for studies. Members are not obligated to participate in studies and may designate the number of study
referrals per year.
What Kind of Research Is Being Conducted at UNC?
Autism research at UNC covers a wide range of topics including genetics, neurology, epidemiology and risk factors, early identification, development and associated features,
