Aetiology (Causes): What causes autism?
Research in genetic, environmental science and epidemiology to discover the causes
Biology: What are the biological problems associated with autism?
Through neurosciences, physiology and molecular biology, we can understand more fully the biology of autism
Diagnosis: How do we know if someone has autism?
By investigating behavioural and biological methods of diagnosis.
Treatment: How can we help individuals with autism?
Research in the fields of genetic, environmental science and epidemiology will help us discover the causes. By investigating behavioural and biological methods of diagnosis can we improve our detection and diagnosis of autism and other autism spectrum disorders.
