Hair Chemicals in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
(IRB#: IRB_00153961)
Chemicals applied to a childs hair may impact health outcomes, especially for children with an autism spectrum disorder. Research is needed to learn how chemicals in these children's hair such as zinc, copper, and lead affect health. We also want to know if finding these chemicals in hair is a way to detect autism disorder sooner. The information we gain may aid future patients.
