IAN Research Date First Published: April 2, 2007 In research lies hope for the future ... IAN Research is a groundbreaking project which is attempting to collect the largest ever data-set on individuals with ASDs. We invite you to participate! By answering secure online questionnaires, and without ever leaving the comfort of home, parents of children with ASDs can provide crucial information about their child's diagnosis, behavior, environment, and services received. At the same time, adults with ASDs can share valuable information about their experiences, strengths, and needs. (At this point, there is little information about how adults with ASD in the United States are doing. The IAN Project hopes to change that.) Researchers from throughout the world will work with the information participants provide to learn about the effect and interaction of factors such as genetics, environment, and treatment, as well as the current situation, well-being, and needs of those affected by ASD. IAN Research will also serve as a research registry, matching participants who give their permission with other local and national autism research projects studying ASDs. The goal overall is to accelerate and expand autism research. To find out more about how to participate, see the following:
