Breakthrough Medical Research into Autism Diagnosis and Treatment

Breakthrough science for a cure.

Researchers studying brain inflammation discover key piece to the autism puzzle making a blood test for autism possible

Real Research, Real Results

AutismFreeBrain, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that promotes a breakthrough in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) research. Researchers at some of the most prestigious medical universities in the US have found a medical cause of autism and are translating these scientific findings into day-to-day applications. Our commitment is to continue funding this research to provide a medical test for early diagnosis, presentation, and therapies for timely intervention.

Why is there no ASD cure yet?

Although each year more children are diagnosed with ASD than people with cancer, AIDS and diabetes combined, only 2% of total US medical research funding is spent on ASD.

Four years of published research - funded by the National Autism Association (NAA), the Autism Research Institute (ARI), and other organizations - has discovered that a largely unexplored autoimmune condition was a major, if not primary, cause of autism. It has been found that this autoimmune condition is responsible for disrupting brain communications in people with ASD and our goal is to diagnose and block this autoimmune reaction.

Can We Truly Put an End to Autism?

Four years of published research point to a cure.
