What is SPARK?
SPARK for Autism seeks to speed up research and improve our understanding of autism. This includes learning what causes autism and how best to treat it. Stanford University and over 20 of the nation’s leading medical schools and autism research centers are part of this effort. Participating in SPARK is free and can be done entirely from home!
• If a genetic finding is discovered related to the cause of autism, results will be shared back with families. Not everyone will be a result right away.
• Participants will be notified when there are other research opportunities.
• Individuals with autism are eligible to receive Amazon gift codes valued up to $50 (One per family) after their saliva samples have been received
