About this trial

The aim of the study is to enrich the understanding of the physiological mechanisms that predispose autistic adolescents to mental illness. It will inform a possible pathway and biomarker handprint of mental illness severity and prognosis to formulate a neurobiologically informed personalization strategy that could be applied for selecting appropriate Evidence Based Intervention (EBI) for treating an adolescent formally diagnosed with Autism.
