Subject: Participate in UMD Autism Research Study! Description: Participate in a study aimed at exploring how your brain processes the language of emotion! We are interested in individuals between the ages of 15 & 30 who are typically developing or who have been diagnosed with autism or Asperger’s syndrome. We are screening interested individuals to determine if they meet eligibility criteria for the study. If you qualify, there are two types of testing: standard pencil & paper assessments and a brain scan. The assessments are done independently or with a researcher, and may last up to 3 hours. During the fMRI scan participants will read/listen to sounds/ words/sentences or view pictures while making judgments. The scan lasts about 1 ½ hours. The testing may be done in one or two sessions, and volunteers will receive monetary compensation for their time. Weekday or Saturday testing is available.
