Scientists Want Your Brain to Study Autism. Here’s Why

A new survey finds strong public support for autism research but low awareness of brain donation.

Seventy percent of respondents had never heard of brain donation despite 92% saying autistic brain analysis is important.

Fewer than half knew donation must occur within hours after death and only 15% knew brain donation is separate from organ registration.

Autism BrainNet will host a Reddit AMA on April 29 to answer questions about donation and how to become a donor.
