The Quadrant study is a study to see if the cells in saliva may help us to learn more about autism and our ability to diagnose it at an earlier age. This study involves 1 to 3 visits lasting up to 30 minutes, which can be done in your home. The study, help through Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, enrolls children aged 18 months to 7 years old who are known or suspected of having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or developmental delay.
