At the Oxford University BabyLab we want to understand more about the development of babies with an autistic parent or sibling. This will help us to develop ways of boosting skill development in the future.
We’re interested in the development of Executive Functions; those tricky skills that allow us to resist temptation, solve problems, and plan and organise our lives.
Our online study investigates how babies develop these important skills. It includes a few fun games to try at home with your child.
To be eligible for this online study your youngest child must:
- Be less than 2½ years old
- Have an immediate family member with a diagnosis of autism
(this could be their mum, dad, or sibling as long as they are a blood relative)
