Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a debilitating developmental disorder affecting around 1% of Australians. This research involves a series of cohesive studies utilising internationally unique population samples, to investigate the relationship between increased prenatal androgen exposure, enlarged head circumference, ASD behavioural traits, and genetic variants. This research aims to reveal new information about the biological and genetic mechanisms underpinning ASD.

自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）是一种使人衰弱的发育障碍，影响着大约1%的澳大利亚人。这项研究涉及一系列利用国际上独特的人群样本的连贯性研究，以调查产前雄激素暴露增加，头围增大，ASD行为特征和遗传变异之间的关系。这项研究旨在揭示ASD的生物学和遗传学机制的新信息。
