Autism CRC created the Australian Autism Biobank (the Biobank) to help advance our understanding of how biological and environmental factors are linked to autistic health and wellbeing. We know these factors are important to all aspects of care, from diagnosis through to ageing.
Almost 3,000 autistic and non-autistic children and their parents from across Australia kindly contributed to the Biobank. We would like to thank all our participants, who have contributed to positively transforming the lives of autistic people across the lifespan and the spectrum.
Researchers can now apply to use the materials for approved research purposes.
In addition to the the Biobank, researchers can also apply to access the Autism CRC Longitudinal Studies, three comprehensive datasets that provide valuable insights into the characteristics and wellbeing of autistic individuals across the lifespan.
