In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this observational study is to learn how stress affects children and young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Many individuals with autism experience strong stress reactions that may lead to challenging behaviours such as agitation, withdrawal, aggression, or self-injury. These behaviours can be difficult to predict, especially in people who have limited communication abilities. Researchers want to better understand how the body reacts to stress in real-life situations. The study focuses on two main biological systems involved in the stress response: the autonomic nervous system, which produces fast reactions such as changes in heart rate and sweating, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which produces slower hormonal responses such as cortisol. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Do physiological stress signals differ between individuals
