Welcome to Autism and Asperger Research Reports, a new website that provides parents, families, and other interested parties with selected published research studies in the medical literature on autism and Asperger syndrome.

This informational website exists because of a gift from parents whose autistic child was diagnosed and treated by members of the Stanford team and who are very grateful for the support and assistance they received from Stanford over the years.

At Stanford Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, we remain committed to providing parents and families with the most current information about childhood disorders.

The information provided on autism and Asperger syndrome are summaries of the research findings provided in layman's terms. They are for informational purposes only, and are not interpretation of findings. Please understand that by providing these results, we ask that you read and understand our disclaimer.

On the left are 6 categories of research material. Click on each to see the most current studies. As we add more studies, the newer studies will appear at the top. On each main category page, click on the link to the study. The study includes the title, authors, and institution. An abstract link is provided below this information. We also provide you with links to other websites on autism and Asperger's syndrome. Last, on the left bar, we have added a glossary of terms that appear in each article—and each article will show those terms as a link to our glossary. This website is updated as new articles on autism and Asperger syndrome appear in the literature.

If you have any questions about the research contained within these summaries or the linked abstract to the published paper, we ask that you contact the author(s) directly at their research institution.
