What it is is a genetic study to see if autism is genetically passed on.

 

The qualifications are:

 

Must have one child with autism, and a sibling not diagnosed.

Must have no other diagnosis of autism in the family

They will do an interview with you and you will have to fill out a BUNCH of paperwork and they will do a blood draw of everyone in your immediate nuclear family.

 

They will pay for ALL of it, and give you gift cards to compensate you for your time.  You can also take your family out of the study at any time.  We are involved with it right now.   They are still looking for more families, and they are coming HERE at Big Brothers, Big Sisters on Covington in Kalamazoo.  If you can take advantage of this, DO iT!!!
