Researchers can apply to access Autism CRC’s biological samples and datasets for ethically approved projects.
Australian Autism Biobank
The Australian Autism Biobank contains biological samples and data from almost 3,000 autistic and non-autistic children and their parents, helping researchers understand how biological and environmental factors are linked to autistic health and wellbeing.
Longitudinal Studies
Autism CRC's three longitudinal datasets provide valuable insights into the characteristics and wellbeing of autistic individuals across different age groups and time points, enabling a broader understanding of key health, wellbeing, education and employment experiences across the lifespan.
