Tollerfield, Isobel; Chapman, Hazel M.; Lovell, Andrew – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Appreciating autistic neurodiversity is important when supporting autistic people who experience distress. Specifically, use of a profiling model can reveal less visible autistic differences, including strengths and abilities. Binary logistic regressions showed that the likelihood of extreme distress responses could be interpreted based on…

Vasa, Roma A.; Singh, Vini; McDonald, Rachel G.; Mazefsky, Carla; Hong, Ji Su; Keefer, Amy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Research indicates that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit dysregulation, which refers to poorly coordinated affective, behavioral, and cognitive responses to a given situation. We examined the characteristics of dysregulation in children presenting to a multidisciplinary ASD clinic for an ASD diagnostic evaluation.…

Altschuler, Melody R.; Faja, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The present study evaluates the test-retest reliability of six theory of mind (ToM) tasks that measured cognitive, affective, and spontaneous ToM in 7 to 11 year-old children with autism spectrum disorder. Our results revealed considerable variation in test-retest reliability depending on the type of ToM task, which ranged from poor to good with…

Gareth; Eelloo, Judith; Burkitt-Wright, Emma; Hulleman, Johan; Green, Jonathan; Garg, Shruti – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a single gene disorder associated with working Memory (WM) impairments. The aim of this study was to investigate P300 event-related potential (ERP) associated with WM in NF1. Sixteen adolescents with NF1 were compared with controls on measures of WM and EEG was recorded during a WM nback task. The NF1 group showed…

Aykan, Simge; Puglia, Meghan H.; Kalaycioglu, Canan; Pelphrey, Kevin A.; Tuncali, Timur; Nalçaci, Erhan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Our aim was to use theta coherence as a quantitative trait to investigate the relation of the polymorphisms in "NKCC1" (rs3087889) and "KCC2" (rs9074) channel protein genes to autistic traits (AQ) in neurotypicals. Coherence values for candidate connection regions were calculated from eyes-closed resting EEGs in two independent…

This study aimed to characterize the relationship between insistence on sameness (IS), executive functioning (EF) and anxiety among individuals with "PTEN" mutations and individuals with macrocephalic ASD. The sample included 38 individuals with "PTEN" mutation and ASD diagnosis ("PTEN"-ASD; M[subscript age] =…

Ferguson, Heather J.; Wimmer, Lena; Black, Jo; Barzy, Mahsa; Williams, David – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We report an event-related brain potential (ERP) experiment that tests whether autistic adults are able to maintain and switch between counterfactual and factual worlds. Participants (N = 48) read scenarios that set up a factual or counterfactual scenario, then either maintained the counterfactual world or switched back to the factual world. When…

Zagury-Orly, Ivry; Kroeck, Mallory R.; Soussand, Louis; Cohen, Alexander Li – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Face-processing deficits, while not required for the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), have been associated with impaired social skills--a core feature of ASD; however, the strength and prevalence of this relationship remains unclear. Across 445 participants from the NIMH Data Archive, we examined the relationship between Benton Face…

Soroor, Golnoosh; Mokhtari, Setareh; Pouretemad, Hamidreza – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We investigated (1) if the perceptual integration performance is different in children with ASD in comparison with their typically developed (TD) counterparts; and (2) if activating--priming--the global processing strategy, could benefit the integration performance of children with ASD in the subsequent task. We observed that in comparison with…

Li, Wei; Rohde, Hannah; Corley, Martin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
How do we decide whether a statement is literally true? Here, we contrast participants' eventual evaluations of a speaker's meaning with the real-time processes of comprehension. We record participants' eye movements as they respond to potentially misleading instructions to click on one of two objects which might be concealing treasure ("the…

In two studies, we used the Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test (GHFT) for assessing figure disembedding ability in children aged 7-11. Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only…

Delage, Hélène; Eigsti, Inge-Marie; Stanford, Emily; Durrleman, Stephanie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
In addition to deficits in pragmatics, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have weaknesses in complex syntax and working memory (WM). These two deficits may be closely related. Previous work investigated the effects of WM training in developmental language disorders and showed significant improvement in both WM and syntax. The current…

Wood, H.; Rusbridge, S.; Lei, J.; Lomax, C.; Elliston, J.; Russell, A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We explored the role of negative performance beliefs and self-focused attention considered central to psychological models of social anxiety but not studied in autism. Firstly, we compared self- and observer ratings of performance on a social task for 71 young autistic people, 41 high and 30 low in social anxiety, finding a significant main effect…

Nyström, Pär; Jones, Emily; Darki, Fahimeh; Bölte, Sven; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Research indicates that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are superior at local processing while the integration of local features to global percepts is reduced. Here, we compared infants at familiar risk for ASD to typically developing infants in terms of global coherence processing at 5 months of age, using steady state visually…

Baisa, Ayelet; Mevorach, Carmel; Shalev, Lilach – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The role of relative salience in processing of hierarchical stimuli in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was examined in this study. Participants with ASD and typically developing controls performed a Navon letters task under conditions of global salience, local salience or equal salience of both levels. Results revealed no group…
