They are currently seeking 18-45 year-old adults who carry a diagnosis of autism or Asperger's Disorder. The study will be conducted at the University of Washington Autism Center in Seattle. Individuals will be administered a wide array of cognitive, linguistic, social, behavioral, and neuropsychological measures.

Extractions: Lauren Bridge is the Oregon Project Coordinator for the Measuring Outcomes Project, a Maternal and Child Health Bureau grant at Providence Child Center in Portland Oregon. The goal of the project is to demonstrate the usefulness of an instrument for assessing functional development in children with special health care needs and evaluate their experience of care within a managed care system. Her professional interest is to continue educating and informing communities and the political process of the issues important to people with disabilities. Her professional activities include being the Oregon Chapter Coordinator of Family Voices, a member of the Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education Advisory Council and the County Self-Directed Support Commission, among other activities. Lauren co-authored a guide entitled, "Passport: A Managed Care Guide for Children with Special Health Care Needs." Sunny is the proud parent of a child with a developmental disability. Her child was the first in her district to be fully included in a "regular elementary school", while receiving related services in her home school district. Because of the success of her daughter's inclusion, the district now promotes full inclusion as an option to any disabled child. Sunny is a successful businesswoman, mother of four daughters and a happily married wife, managing two companies and a nonprofit organization called Asian Advocates for Special People (AASP). She founded this organization in Los Angeles, California in 1994 due to difficulties of dealing with daily tasks of her daughter's school, medical services and family support issues, which arose from not knowing how to cope with her daughter's disability. "I had no where to go to obtain resources or support from my relatives, or the Korean community, because disabled people are shunned upon as a virus or disease to be avoided."
