National guidelines bring new order to autism diagnosis

Clinicians across Australia are looking forward to the release of the country’s first national guidelines for the diagnosis of autism.

Children with autism may benefit from app-based therapies

A The Kids Research Institute Australia study has shown that in addition to intervention with trained therapists, children with autism may benefit from app-based therapies.

Study sheds new light on the ‘autism epidemic’ mystery

Researchers have shown that the so called 'autism epidemic' is due to an increase in the diagnosis of children with less severe behavioural symptoms.

Telethon Institute a key player in new national autism research

The Telethon Institute will play a key role in a ground breaking, multi-million dollar Autism research centre announced by Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

New study shows fetal head size could link to autism

Research has found a link between children with larger head measurements in-utero and a subsequent diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as toddlers.

CliniKids and Griffith University partner for autism research

The Kids Research Institute Australia’s CliniKids and Griffith University are excited to announce a new partnership which will help to grow autism research in Australia.

Breakthrough autism program makes headlines around the world

Plasma Metabolite Profiles of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by social and communication differences, is complex and aetiologically heterogeneous. Untargeted metabolomics is emerging as a tool in screening for biochemical abnormalities. This research was conducted using the Australian Autism Biobank resource and involved analysis of plasma metabolites to characterise metabolite differences between autistic children and controls.
