Download the order form (PDF) Interested in Participating in Research_ Here are two research projects by the University of Connecticut concerning autism spectrum disorders. The researchers have asked us to pass this information along to our membership, in the hopes of obtaining some subjects. Thanks for reading on! Thank you for your support! We're been very encouraged by the response to our recent fund-raising appeal, and we're especially pleased that many members have indicated that they will designate part of their United Way pledge to our group. We have discovered that the United Way is in the midst of re-assigning new Agency Code numbers to the organizations they serve, and that none of the current numbers will be recognized by their software. SO - if you choose to donate to our group through United Way, please DO NOT use the Agency Code number we previously disclosed. Rather, write our name and address in at the bottom of the form where it says "Other 501(c)(3) Organization".
