Yi-Ling Chien; Yueh-Ming Tai; Yen-Nan Chiu; Wen-Che Tsai; Susan Shur-Fen Gau – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
The mediators of real-world executive functions in autism during the transition into adulthood are mainly unknown. This study aimed to identify the mediators for the behavioral and cognitive domains of real-world executive functions in late adolescent and young adult autistic populations. We followed up 289 autistic children (aged 11.6 ± 3.8, male…

Yael Mayer; Mor Cohen-Eilig; Janice Chan; Natasha Kuzyk; Armansa Glodjo; Tal Jarus – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Over the past few years, screen-based usage among children and youth has increased significantly, particularly among those with autism. Yet current screen time guidelines do not address the specific needs of autistic children and youth. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop specific and clear guidelines and strategies that…

Joanna M. Tsirgiotis; Robyn L. Young; Nathan Weber – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Little is currently known about the autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-related difficulties of females narrowly below the ASD diagnostic threshold and whether the disorder conceptualisation should be broadened to capture their presentations. We extracted fine-grained information from the assessment reports of 222 children who were either diagnosed…

Thompson, Kelsey; Wallisch, Anna; Nowell, Sallie; Meredith, Jessica; Boyd, Brian – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Feeding problems are common among autistic children and are linked to negative health consequences. Therefore, understanding feeding problems and factors that influence these behaviors is important for developing supports for children and families. While certain sensory processing patterns are commonly associated with feeding problems, less is…

Shurtz, Logan; Schwartz, Chloe; DiStefano, Charlotte; McPartland, James C.; Levin, April R.; Dawson, Geraldine; Kleinhans, Natalia M.; Faja, Susan; Webb, Sara J.; Shic, Frederick; Naples, Adam J.; Seow, Helen; Bernier, Raphael A.; Chawarska, Katarzyna; Sugar, Catherine A.; Dziura, James; Senturk, Damla; Santhosh, Megha; Jeste, Shafali S. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorder are prescribed various medications to address behavior and mood. In clinical trials, individuals taking concomitant psychotropic medications often are excluded to maintain homogeneity and prevent contamination of clinical endpoints. However, this choice may compromise the representativeness of the sample. In…

Park-Cardoso, JungJa; da Silva, Ana Paula Soares – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Insistence on Sameness has been pathologized as a subtype of restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities, in autism. We examined the meanings of Insistence on Sameness for autistic adults through the lens of critical autism studies and environmental psychology, exploring their foodways and experiences of food…

Kadlaskar, Girija; Mao, Pin-Hsun; Iosif, Ana-Maria; Amaral, David; Wu Nordahl, Christine; Miller, Meghan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Sensory processing differences are widely reported in autism. However, our understanding of sensory profiles in this population has been complicated due to the heterogeneous presentation of sensory symptoms. We addressed this by using latent profile analysis, allowing for the identification of more homogeneous sensory classes in a large cohort (n…

Hogendoorn, Elske; Hartman, Catharina A.; Burke, Sarah M.; van Dijk, Marijn W. G.; Rosmalen, Judith G. M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autistic-like features and functional somatic symptoms (FSS) frequently co-occur. It remains unknown how autistic-like features and FSS affect each other and develop throughout adolescence. This study examined reciprocal relations between autistic-like features and FSS in adolescence. Participants were 2772 adolescents (52.5% male) from the…

Lewis, Laura Foran; Stevens, Kailey – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autistic meltdowns have been explored from the perspectives of parents, but there is a paucity of research on the experience of meltdowns from the autistic perspective. Little is known about how adults experience these events. In this descriptive phenomenological study, we conducted online interviews with 32 autistic adults on the experience of…

Dufour, Brett D.; McBride, Erin; Bartley, Trevor; Juarez, Pablo; Martínez-Cerdeño, Verónica – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in social communication and repetitive behaviors. How specific anatomical alterations contribute to the clinical profile of autism spectrum disorder remains largely uncharacterized. We have previously shown that parvalbumin-positive Chandelier cells, a specific…

To explore associations between autism traits and family functioning over time, we studied longitudinal data of a mixed group of 168 clinically referred autistic and non-autistic children. Cross-lagged models showed a significant association between fewer autism traits at the diagnostic assessment and better family functioning 1 year later for the…

Greenlee, Jessica L.; Hickey, Emily; Stelter, Claire R.; Huynh, Tuyen; Hartley, Sigan L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Parents of autistic children experience more parenting stress and are at increased risk for poor mental and physical health compared with parents of neurotypical children; however, not all parents are distressed. The present study used a person-centered analytic approach to identify profiles of the parenting experience in a sample of 183 mothers…

Research regarding autistic children's sibling relationship quality is mixed, although some literature suggests poorer quality compared to children with other disabilities or who are neurotypical. Little is known about how the clinical characteristics of autistic children relate to parent perceptions of sibling relationship quality. We drew data…

Milner, Victoria; Mandy, Will; Happé, Francesca; Colvert, Emma – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Many autistic individuals camouflage socially atypical behaviours. Evidence suggests autistic females camouflage more than autistic males. Although camouflaging may confer some benefits, it is also associated with negative outcomes including poorer mental health and well-being. Those with high autistic traits but no clinical diagnosis are not…

This triple-arm, double-blind, randomized clinical trial investigated the effect of multisession prefrontal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A total of 105 individuals (age 14-21 years) diagnosed with ASD were randomized into the active-tDCS, sham-tDCS, and…
