Summary

This small pilot study aims to see if wearable devices like smartwatches can help measure changes in autism symptoms during treatment with sulforaphane, a compound found in vegetables. Ten males aged 13-30 with autism who previously took part in a sulforaphane study will wear non-invasive sensors to track heart rate, movement, and brain activity. The goal is to see if these digital tools can provide useful information alongside standard questionnaires.
