Help identify risk factors for Autism Spectrum Disorders by taking an online survey.

You can help identify underlying risk factors for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) by taking an online survey from your own home computer.

Biological mothers of children with an ASD are invited to participate in an online survey to assess potential risk factors for this condition.

We also need biological mothers of children without an ASD to take the survey.


We will ask questions regarding your pre- and post-pregnancy history and your family's exposures, sensitivities, and health.

To participate you must: Be 18 years or older Be the biological mother of at least one child who has been diagnosed by a professional with an ASD or Be the biological mother of a child or children who have NOT been diagnosed with an ASD

The survey will take approximately 20- 30 minutes to complete. For more information or to participate in this study please visit:

Feel free to post the invite on other forums where biological mothers 18 or older frequent. The reserachers need as wide a study pool as possible.
