Research Study

GEMMA (Genome, Environment, Microbiome and Metabolome in Autism)

Please read the below information regarding research that you may wish to participate in:

GEMMA is an international EU project which is investigating gastrointestinal problems like constipation, diarrhoea, or tummy pains that are experienced by up to 80% of children with Autism. They are looking for families who have an Autistic child and a baby sibling who is 0-6 months of age to take part in the GEMMA study.

They are administering Autism assessments to participants when they are aged 1-3 years every six months. If your child has Autism, you will receive this information as early as possible, which will allow you to access support services. If you, or a family you know, have a child with Autism and a baby aged 0-6 months, or you are pregnant, and you would like to learn more about participating, please go to their website www.icanautism.ie and https://www.icanautism.ie/the-gemma-project-families for further information
