For anyone living in NC this may be worthwhile for you. It is the research registry for Autism. TEACCH is involved in helping UNC of Chapel Hill register kids or adults even with Autism for research. I've just registered my three boys and so if anything comes up that we qualify for they'll call. So think about it and if you're comfortable with research I give you the PDF so you can register as well!
