Autism

Fastest Growing Developmental Disability in the Country

Researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other sites around the country are gathering data as early as prior to birth as part of the Early Autism Risk Longitudinal Investigation (EARLI Study). Tonight we'll learn more about Autism, current treatments and the EARLI Study.
