Understanding Autism: Donate your brain for autism research

Research

Would you be willing to donate your brain for research into autism when you die?

2014-03-20 Understanding AutismThe fine detail of the brain can only be discovered through post mortem research. The new UK Brain Bank for Autism aims to  discover the causes of autism and find ways to overcome its disabling effects. Donations are  needed from people who have autism  and people who do not. But the brain is not included in the NHS organ  donation scheme. You can make a pledge to donate your brain to support  this important area  of research.
