The current study extends research by Stone [Cross-disciplinary perspectives on autism? "Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 12", (1988) 615; A comparison of teacher and parent views of autism. "Journal of Autism and Development Disorders, 18", (1988) 403] exploring the knowledge and beliefs about autism across multiple health care professions. One…

Woodbury-Smith, M. R.; Robinson, J.; Wheelwright, S.; Baron-Cohen, S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) has been developed to measure the degree to which an adult with normal intelligence has autistic traits. In this paper it is evaluated for its potential as a screening questionnaire in clinical practice on one hundred consecutive referrals to a diagnostic clinic for adults suspected of having Asperger Syndrome or…

Billstedt, Eva; Gillberg, Carina; Gillberg, Christopher – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
Background: Prospective population-based follow-up study of 120 individuals with autism followed from childhood to adulthood. Methods: Individuals with autism, diagnosed in childhood, were followed prospectively for a period of 13-22 years and re-evaluated at ages 17-40 years. The instruments used at follow-up were the DISCO, WAIS-R, WISC-III,…

Sugie, Yoko; Sugie, Hideo; Fukuda,Tokiko; Ito, Masataka; Sasada, Yumiko; Nakabayashi, Mutsumi; Fukashiro, Kazunobu; Ohzeki, Takehiko – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
We studied the correlation between response to fluvoxamine and serotonin transporter gene promoter region polymorphism (5-HTTLPR). Eighteen children with autistic disorder completed a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover study of fluvoxamine. Behavioral assessments were obtained before and at 12 weeks of treatment.…

Rajendran, Gnanathusharan; Mitchell, Peter; Rickards, Hugh – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
Computer-mediated communication in individuals with Asperger syndrome, Tourette syndrome and normal controls was explored with a program called Bubble Dialogue (Gray, Creighton, McMahon, & Cunninghamn (1991)) in which the users type text into speech bubbles. Two scenarios, based on Happe (1994) were adapted to investigate understanding of figure…

Fine, Sarah E.; Weissman, Alison; Gerdes, Marsha; Pinto-Martin, Jennifer; Zackai, Elaine H.; McDonald-McGinn, Donna M.; Emanuel, Beverly S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
In this study, we assessed the presence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) among children with a confirmed 22q11.2 deletion (n = 98). The children's caregivers completed screening measures of ASD behaviors, and for those whose scores indicated significant levels of these behaviors, a standardized diagnostic interview (Autism Diagnostic…

Rojas, Donald C.; Camou, Suzanne L.; Reite, Martin L.; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
Previous research has revealed a lack of planum temporale (PT) asymmetry in adults with autism. This finding is now extended to children and adolescents with the disorder. MRI scans were obtained from 12 children with autism and 12 gender, handedness and age-matched comparison participants. The volume of gray matter in the PT and Heschl's gyrus…

Hale, Courtney M.; Tager-Flusberg, Helen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
This study investigated the relationship between discourse deficits to a broader range of other symptoms in 57 children with autism. We hypothesized that autism symptomatology, as measured by the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), would be related to the children?s difficulty in maintaining an ongoing topic of discourse. Children…

Fein, Deborah; Dixon, Pamela; Paul, Jennifer; Levin, Harriet – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
Despite prominent attentional symptoms in Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) the relationship between PDD and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has received little direct examination. In addition, outcome studies of children with PDD often focus on language, educational placement, or adaptive skills, but seldom on loss of the…

Perry, Adrienne; Condillac, Rosemary A.; Freeman, Nancy L.; Dunn-Geier, Jennifer; Belair, Joanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
This study examined several questions pertaining to the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) in a sample of 274 preschool children (aged 2-6 years) clinically diagnosed as falling in one of five groups: Autistic Disorder, PDD-NOS, MR, Delayed, and Other. In addition to diagnosis and the CARS, all children were given standardized cognitive and…

Baranek, Grace T.; Danko, Cassandra D.; Skinner, Martie L.; Donald B., Jr.; Hatton, Deborah D.; Roberts, Jane E.; Mirrett, Penny L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
This study utilized retrospective video analysis to distinguish sensory-motor patterns in infants with fragile X syndrome (FXS) (n=11) from other infants [i.e., autism (n=11), other developmental delay (n=10), typical (n=11)] at 9-12 months of age. Measures of development, autistic features, and FMRP were assessed at the time of entry into the…

Baron-Cohen, Simon; Wheelwright, Sally; Robinson, Janine; Woodbury-Smith, Marc – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
At the present time there are a large number of adults who have "suspected" Asperger syndrome (AS). In this paper we describe a new instrument, the Adult Asperger Assessment (AAA), developed in our clinic for adults with AS. The need for a new instrument relevant to the diagnosis of AS in adulthood arises because existing instruments are designed…
