The Duke Center for Autism & Brain Development, an NIH Autism Center of Excellence, is dedicated to helping individuals on the autism spectrum reach their full potential, thereby allowing society to benefit from the talents that neurodiverse people offer.
With support from Duke University, research grants and philanthropy, we conduct cutting-edge research, deliver state-of-the-art interdisciplinary clinical care, inspire and train the next generation of scientists and clinicians, and partner with the community to impact public policy.
The Duke Center for Autism & Brain Development is affiliated with the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.
