Spectrum 10K
Spectrum 10K is a research study that aims to better understand autistic people’s mental and physical health. The study aims to generate data that can be used to help find out why autistic people are more at risk of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, gut problems, joint pain and epilepsy. This understanding could potentially help autistic people to live healthier and happier lives in future. The study is funded by Wellcome and was originally launched in August 2021.
Spectrum 10K was voluntarily paused by the research team involved so that an independent consultation could be carried out after concerns were raised by the autism community. More information about the independent consultation can be found at Hopkins Van Mil – Spectrum 10K consultation.
