We are asking teens with autism between the ages of 16-21 who have expressed interest in learning how to drive or have received their learner's permit in the past 3 months, and their parent/primary caregiver to participate in an interview study.
The purpose of this research study is to examine relationships between brain and behavior development in toddlers with and without autism who have older siblings.
