Researchers working on the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED) have recently published many studies reporting on important findings related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These studies used data collected from the first phase of SEED (SEED 1). The scientific findings for all SEED studies published to date are summarized below. Many additional studies are underway. We will provide summaries of those studies in the future.
