Helping families and healthcare practitioners explore biological factors that may influence health and wellbeing in individuals on the autism spectrum through advanced biomarker testing.
At Autism Detectives, we believe that understanding biology can open the door to better health insights for individuals on the autism spectrum. While autism is diagnosed through developmental and behavioural assessments, emerging research suggests that biological systems such as metabolism, gut health, immune function, and environmental exposures may influence overall wellbeing for some individuals.
Autism Detectives works alongside families and healthcare practitioners to explore measurable biological markers that may provide deeper insight into an individual's health profile. By facilitating advanced biomarker testing through trusted laboratory partners, we aim to help practitioners uncover potential biological contributors that may impact development, behaviour, and overall health.
"We do not guess, we test."
Autism Detectives provides access to specialised laboratory testing panels designed to explore biological systems frequently studied in autism and neurodevelopmental research.
