Hashimoto, Teruo; Yokota, Susumu; Matsuzaki, Yutaka; Kawashima, Ryuta – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Atypical learning and memory in early life can promote atypical behaviors in later life. Less relational learning and inflexible retrieval in childhood may enhance restricted and repeated behaviors in patients with autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of atypical memory in children with autism…

Escher, Jill; Yan, Wei; Rissman, Emilie F.; Wang, Hsiao-Lin V.; Hernandez, Arturo; Corces, Victor G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Investigations into the etiology of autism spectrum disorders have been largely confined to two realms: variations in DNA sequence and somatic developmental exposures. Here we suggest a third route--disruption of the germline epigenome induced by exogenous toxicants during a parent's gamete development. Similar to cases of germline mutation, these…

Uono, Shota; Yoshimura, Sayaka; Toichi, Motomi – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
The present study investigated how the eye contact perception of ingroup and outgroup faces by Japanese adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder differed from that of age-, sex-, and IQ-matched typically developing individuals. The autism spectrum disorder and typically developing individuals were equally likely to perceive subtly…

Duvall, Susanne W.; Huang-Storms, Lark; Presmanes Hill, Alison; Myers, Julianne; Fombonne, Eric – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Inconsistent findings regarding sex differences in cognition have been found in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study evaluated sex differences in cognitive-developmental functioning in a large clinical sample of young children diagnosed with ASD. The sample included children 18-68 months of age who received the Mullen Scales of…

Breider, Simone; Hoekstra, Pieter J.; Wardenaar, Klaas J.; van den Hoofdakker, Barbara J.; Dietrich, Andrea; de Bildt, Annelies – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We studied the association of early-life environmental and child factors with disruptive behaviors in children with autistic traits around age 7, in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (n = 6,401). Logistic regression with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator indicated that disruptive behaviors were associated with…

Li, Juo-Chi; Tsai, Shih-Jen; Chen, Tzeng-Ji; Chen, Mu-Hong – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The association between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and subsequent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the potential effects of medications on STI risk remain unknown. In all, 5076 adolescents and young adults with ASD and 57,060 age-/sex-matched individuals without ASD were enrolled between 2001 and 2009 and followed-up to the end of…

Taylor, Julie Lounds; Smith DaWalt, Leann; Marvin, Alison R.; Law, J. Kiely; Lipkin, Paul – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
This study explored sex differences in employment, reasons for unemployment, benefits, and supports among a large, international sample of adults with autism spectrum disorder. The sample included 443 adults with autism spectrum disorder (60% female; 74% residing in the United States) who consented to be part of an autism research registry and…

Thorsen, Morten; Bilenberg, Niels; Thorsen, Lena; Michel, Tanja Maria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Oxidative stress has been proposed as being important in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and heightened levels of oxidative stress has found in children with ASD. Our aim was to investigate, whether this change is temporary or persist into adulthood. We included 89 adult patients with ASD and sex and age matched controls.…

This study tested the hypothesis that exposure of children prior to their third birthday to procedures requiring general anesthesia is associated with an increased incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in later life. This study employed a nested, 1:2 matched-case control study design using ASD cases identified in a population-based birth…

Panjwani, Anita A.; Ji, Yuelong; Fahey, Jed W.; Palmer, Amanda; Wang, Guoying; Hong, Xiumei; Zuckerman, Barry; Wang, Xiaobin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
In contrast to the well-observed associations between obesity, diabetes, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the roles of maternal dyslipidemia and sex disparity in ASD have not been well-studied. We examined the joint associations of maternal plasma cholesterols, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and child sex on child ASD risk. We analyzed data…

Hamilton, Stacey L.; Baraldi, Amanda; Kennison, Shelia M. – Journal of College Counseling, 2021
This research investigated the relationships among symptoms associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), perceived stress, and resilience in college students. In our study of 558 college students (175 men, 383 women), we confirmed the hypothesis that the relationship between ADHD symptoms and perceived stress is mediated by…

Wallisch, Anna; Behrens, Sarah; Salley, Brenda; Jamison, Rene; Boyd, Brian – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research is largely based on males, and females with ASD are at risk for under-identification. Research recommends listening to parent concerns since these are often predictive of a child's eventual diagnosis. This study examined how patterns of parent concerns predicted sex differences and eventual child diagnosis…

Adi Sharabi; Ayelet Siman Tov – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2024
Sisters and brothers play an important role in the lives of their siblings with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), starting in childhood and commonly increasing in adulthood. The current study compared typically-developing adult sisters' and brothers' level of involvement in the care of their siblings with IDD. Beyond this, the…

Stevanovic, Korey D.; Fry, Sydney A.; DeFilipp, Jemma M. S.; Wu, Nicholas; Bernstein, Briana J.; Cushman, Jesse D. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Inclusion of male and female subjects in behavioral neuroscience research requires a concerted effort to characterize sex differences in standardized behavioral assays. Sex differences in hippocampus-dependent assays have been widely reported but are still poorly characterized. In the present study, we conducted a parametric analysis of…

Irene Polo-Blanco; Paula Suárez-Pinilla; Juncal Goñi-Cervera; Marta Suárez-Pinilla; Beatriz Payá – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study examines relationships between mathematical problem-solving performance (in terms of strategies used and accuracy) and the main cognitive domains associated with mathematical learning (i.e. executive functions, verbal comprehension and social perception) of children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD and non-ASD resp.). The…
