Zappullo, Isa; Senese, Vincenzo Paolo; Milo, Rosa; Positano, Monica; Cecere, Roberta; Raimo, Gennaro; Conson, Massimiliano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Inconsistent data are available on mental rotation performance in neurotypicals with high autistic-like traits. Here, we tested whether global-local visual processing abilities mediate the influence of specific autistic-like trait domains (social skill, attention switching, attention-to-detail, communication, and imagination) on mental rotation.…

Carey, Meghan E.; Rando, Juliette; Melnyk, Stepan; James, S. Jill; Snyder, Nathaniel; Salafia, Carolyn; Croen, Lisa A.; Fallin, M. Daniele; Hertz-Picciotto, Irva; Volk, Heather; Newschaffer, Craig; Lyall, Kristen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
We examined associations between prenatal oxidative stress (OS) and child autism-related outcomes. Women with an autistic child were followed through a subsequent pregnancy and that younger sibling's childhood. Associations between glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), 8-oxo-deoxyguanine (8-OHdG), and nitrotyrosine and younger sibling…

Visual exploration paradigms involving object arrays have been used to examine salience of social stimuli such as faces in ASD. Recent work suggests performance on these paradigms may associate with clinical features of ASD. We evaluate metrics from a visual exploration paradigm in 4-to-11-year-old children with ASD (n = 23; 18 males) and typical…

Mayes, Susan D.; Seebeck, Jyssica; Waschbusch, Daniel A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Relationships between sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) and age and IQ were investigated in children with autism and/or ADHD covering broader age and IQ ranges than in previous studies. Mothers rated 1436 children with autism and 1,056 with ADHD (2-17 years, IQs 9-149) on Pediatric Behavior Scale SCT items. Increasing age correlated with SCT in the…

Koehler, Jana Christina; Georgescu, Alexandra Livia; Weiske, Johanna; Spangemacher, Moritz; Burghof, Lana; Falkai, Peter; Koutsouleris, Nikolaos; Tschacher, Wolfgang; Vogeley, Kai; Falter-Wagner, Christine M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Reliably diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adulthood poses a challenge to clinicians due to the absence of specific diagnostic markers. This study investigated the potential of interpersonal synchrony (IPS), which has been found to be reduced in ASD, to augment the diagnostic process. IPS was objectively assessed in videos…

Elizabeth G. S. Munsell; Gael I. Orsmond; Daniel Fulford; Wendy J. Coster – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Social communication and executive functioning challenges as well as co-occurring anxiety/depression may make acquiring the skills needed to manage daily life tasks difficult for diploma-track autistic youth, thus limiting their participation in adult roles. This study describes the associations between executive function, social communication…

Blume, Jessica; Wittke, Kacie; Naigles, Letitia; Mastergeorge, Ann M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present with a broad range of spoken language abilities, as well as delays in precursor skills such as gesture production and joint attention skills. While standardized assessments describe language strengths, the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS-DP) is a particularly robust…

Becker, Casey; Caterer, Evangeline; Chouinard, Philippe A.; Laycock, Robin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Typically developing adults with low and high Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) scores made rapid social evaluations of neutral faces when these were primed by briefly presented emotional faces. High AQ participants rated neutral faces as more threatening than low AQ participants, regardless of the prime condition. Both groups rated target neutral…

Many neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) share common learning and behavioural impairments, as well as features such as dysregulation of the oxytocin hormone. Here, we examined DNA methylation (DNAm) in the 1st intron of the oxytocin receptor gene, "OXTR," in patients with autism spectrum (ASD), attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD)…

Westerveld, Marleen F.; Paynter, Jessica; Adams, Dawn – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
We used parent-report data from a prospective longitudinal study to better understand the early strengths in written skills often observed in preschoolers on the spectrum. Consistent with previous research, children demonstrated relative strengths in standardized written communication compared to spoken communication scores on the VABS-II. We…

Markiewicz, Katarzyna; Kaczmarek, Bozydar L. J.; Filipiak, Sara – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The study aimed to identify the mediating role of emotional intelligence and social competences in the relationship between gender and broad autism phenotype (BAP) as well as between age and BAP. It comprised 85 parents of children with ASD. They completed the questionnaires of Autism-Spectrum Quotient, social competences, and emotional…

Levinson, Sarah; Eisenhower, Abbey; Bush, Hillary Hurst; Carter, Alice S.; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The language and social skill deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) warrant further study. Existing research has focused on the contributions of pragmatic language to social skills, with little attention to other aspects of language. We examined the associations across three language domains (semantics, syntax, and pragmatics)…

Social cognition impairment is a core shared phenotype in both schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This study compares social cognition performance through four different instruments in a sample of 147 individuals with ASD or SSD and in healthy controls. We found that both clinical groups perform similarly…

Baez, Adriana C.; Dajani, Dina R.; Voorhies, Willa; Parladé, Meaghan V.; Alessandri, Michael; Britton, Jennifer C.; Llabre, Maria M.; Uddin, Lucina Q. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Executive function (EF), the set of cognitive processes that govern goal-directed behavior, varies within developmental samples and clinical populations. Here, we perform a conceptual replication of prior work (Dajani et al. in Sci Rep 6:36566, 2016) in an independent sample of typically developing children (n = 183) and children with autism…

Caplan, Barbara; Blacher, Jan; Eisenhower, Abbey – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) vary greatly in social functioning, and in turn, long-term relational and academic outcomes. Responsive parenting which follows a child's lead and focus of attention is predictive of language and social gains for children with or without developmental risk. The present study prospectively assessed 176…
