What happens after I

have returned the data?

The data will be used by UK

researchers to answer important questions about ASD. Researchers will apply

to the ASD-UK steering committee that includes

parent members who will make a decision about which studies to support. The

steering committee will contact families about research studies to see if

they are interested in taking part. Your details will not be given to the

researchers. If you choose to take part in a study you will be given the

contact details of the researchers to contact them yourself. You are under

no obligation to take part in any studies – the services you and your child

receive will not be affected in any way by not taking part.

You will be kept informed about

the progress of ASD-UK through this website and through an annual

newsletter. You will also be contacted from time to time to ask you to

provide updates about your child’s development and any further assessments

or tests your child may have had.
