Spectrum 10K

Spectrum 10K is the United Kingdom's largest study of Autistic people; the name refers to the autism spectrum and the putative number of subjects. Led by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen under the aegis of the Autism Research Center (ARC), the study (an outgrowth of the defunct Human Genome Project) includes researchers at the University of Cambridge, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). ^[1] Volunteers contribute their DNA via swabs of saliva; minors may contribute with parental consent. ^[2] The project is anticipated to run for a decade.^[3]
