From the web page: Expected outcomes
The Autism Phenome Project promises to change the way autism is defined, diagnosed and treated by gathering unprecedented kinds and amounts of biomedical and behavioral data from 1,800 children and their families over the course of five to eight years. Potential outcomes include:
A new system for categorizing distinct kinds of autism
Novel prevention and treatment strategies for the different kinds of autism
A database of features that define autism spectrum disorders
A foundation for future research into the causes of the various forms of autism
Results that will pave the way for possible cures
