The ADORA Study (Assessing Anxiety in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder) is a NIMH-funded study aimed at understanding the physiological underpinnings of anxiety in autistic and nonautistic youth. Additionally, the goal of this study is to increase inclusion and representation of Black youth into autism and anxiety research.
