Seattle Children’s Autism Center is partnered with the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) to create the nation’s largest online autism study. We want to speed up research and advance our understanding of autism to help improve lives.

  • Individuals with autism (including adults), biological parents and siblings are encouraged to participate.
    Registration is easy and can be done entirely online.
  • Participants provide a saliva sample using a collection kit shipped to their home, complete surveys, and may be invited to participate in other studies that are relevant to them.
  • Participants will receive a gift card code, valued at up to $50, once they’ve completed registration and returned samples.
  • Thank you to Seattle Children’s Autism Center for your support of SPARK. 3738 patients at SCAC are participants in SPARK. 23 providers have helped refer participants to SPARK.
