The Studying Autism and ADHD in the eaRly yearS (STAARS) project will be specifically researching the early development of baby brothers and sisters of children with autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit disorders and typical development.

 

In the long term, we hope this will help to improve early detection and diagnosis of children with ASD and ADHD, allowing for earlier and more effective intervention aimed at improving the quality of life of children and their families.
