The goal of SPARK is to accelerate autism research in order to gain a better understanding of causes and treatments for autism. By building a community of tens of thousands of individuals with autism and their biological family members who provide behavioral and genetic data, SPARK will be the largest autism research study to date. As part of a family’s participation in SPARK, we ask that participants register and complete a few questionnaires online, and provide a saliva sample using a saliva collection kit that will be shipped directly to their home or in the clinic. You can also learn more about SPARK or sign up by visiting www.SPARKforAutism.org/rush --- the individual with autism can earn up to $50 dollars once saliva samples are received.
