The IAN Project


IAN is the "Interactive Autism Network," an online community for families of individuals with autism and researchers sponsored by Autism Speaks and the Kennedy Krieger Institute. The organization maintains the largest database for autism-related research in the United States.

By joining the IAN Community (http://www.iancommunity.org/), users gain access to the latest sociological research and the opportunity to contribute to ongoing studies. Children and adults diagnosed with autism, and their loved ones, are encouraged to provide basic demographic information and fill out questionnaires. You can see the statistics IAN has already amassed here: http://dashboard.ianexchange.org/IANStats.aspx, and add to the growing body of knowledge through this page: http://www.iancommunity.org/cs/ian_research/overview.
