Description
Pubertal development contributes to significant physical, psychological, hormonal, and social changes. It may be a time of increased vulnerability in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our goal is to examine stress and arousal across pubertal development in children with and without ASD to identify potential risk factors, treatment targets, and therapeutic strategies.

Psychological testing and exam, 2-3 hours
Pubertal physical exam, 15 minutes
Social interaction and social evaluation, 1-2 hours
EEG task, 30 minutes
Follow-up assessments 1 time a year for a total time commitment of 4 years.
