SEATTLE — Autism researchers at the University of Washington are
seeking parents who will allow them to do brain scans of their
infants.

The scans are part of a national autism study. The developmental
disorder affects one in every 150 children.

The UW scientists are looking for 84 six-month-old infants from
California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and Alaska who
have an older sibling who has been diagnosed with autism. They also
need 34 infants with typically developing older brothers or sisters.

Each child will be scanned three times over two years.

The study requires the scans to be done in Seattle and money is
available to pay for travel. Families will also be reimbursed for
their time.
