Truong, Dieu M.; Mire, Sarah S.; Day, Susan X.; Ni, Lan; Keller-Margulis, Milena – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Most current autism research focuses on Western countries, where service availability and cultural experiences differ from those of individuals living in Asian countries, where collectivistic cultural values prevail and understanding of autism is emerging. By gathering data from Vietnamese parents of autistic children (N = 339), the current…

Sanders, Benjamin W.; Bedrick, Steven; Broder-Fingert, Sarabeth; Brown, Shannon A.; Dolata, Jill K.; Fombonne, Eric; Reeder, Julie A.; Rivas Vazquez, Luis Andres; Fuchu, Plyce; Morales, Yesenia; Zuckerman, Katharine E. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Limited access to screening and evaluation for autism spectrum disorder in children is a major barrier to improving outcomes for marginalized families. To identify and evaluate available digital autism spectrum disorder screening resources, we simulated web and mobile app searches by a parent concerned about their child's likelihood of autism…

Wallace-Watkin, Carla; Sigafoos, Jeff; Waddington, Hannah – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Families of autistic children from underserved populations participate in support services at lower rates than other families. To better understand possible reasons for this inequity, we reviewed qualitative studies examining parent-reported barriers and facilitators to accessing and participating in support services. A systematic search…

Oredipe, Tomisin; Kofner, Bella; Riccio, Ariana; Cage, Eilidh; Vincent, Jonathan; Kapp, Steven K.; Dwyer, Patrick; Gillespie-Lynch, Kristen – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Many autistic people do not learn they are autistic until adulthood. Parents may wait to tell a child they are autistic until they feel the child is "ready." In this study, a participatory team of autistic and non-autistic researchers examined whether learning one is autistic at a younger age is associated with heightened well-being and…

Jones, Sandra C. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autistic people are under-represented in university student populations, but their numbers are growing, and the barriers to their inclusion are being recognised. Outside of the student body, autistic people in academia are often overlooked, although this is starting to change with the growth in inclusive autism research. However, they remain…

Larkin, Fionnuala; Ralston, Brianna; Dinsdale, Sophie Jayne; Kimura, Sakura; Hayiou-Thomas, Marianna Emma – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autistic people experience heightened rates of physical health problems but may also experience elevated levels of somatic symptoms (e.g. pain, headache, gastrointestinal symptoms) due to psychological factors which are common in autism. This online study sought to compare rates of somatic symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-15) in older…

Bang, Peter; Igelström, Kajsa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Sensory processing differences measured by self- or parent-report co-segregate with quantitative autistic traits and have potential endophenotypic properties. It is not known to what extent this reflects generalized sensory dysfunction versus more specific associations involving individual senses or autistic trait domains. We combined Bayesian…

Yew, Rui Ying; Hooley, Merrilyn; Stokes, Mark A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autistic individuals have reported lower satisfaction in their romantic relationships compared to non-autistic individuals. Previous research on the factors that contribute to relationship satisfaction within autism has focused on the characteristics of autistic participants as barriers to relationship satisfaction, while overlooking the role of…

Lim, Alliyza; Brewer, Neil; Aistrope, Denise; Young, Robyn L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
The Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) is a purported theory of mind measure and one that reliably differentiates autistic and non-autistic individuals. However, concerns have been raised about the validity of the measure, with some researchers suggesting that the multiple-choice format of the RMET makes it susceptible to the undue influence…

Hampton, Sarah; Man, Joyce; Allison, Carrie; Aydin, Ezra; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Holt, Rosemary – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Pregnancy may pose a number of physical and healthcare-related challenges for autistic people, who experience differences in sensory processing and can face barriers to accessing healthcare. However, little research has explored autistic pregnancy experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 autistic and 21 non-autistic women…

Kim, So Yoon; Cheon, Jeong Eun; Gillespie-Lynch, Kristen; Grandits, Jennifer; Kim, Young-Hoon – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
This cross-cultural study examined Koreans' and Americans' explicit stigma and implicit biases toward autism to examine potential mechanisms underlying recent evidence for heightened explicit autism stigma in South Korea relative to the United States. This evidence is somewhat at odds with other evidence that individuals living in collectivistic…

Slavny-Cross, Rachel; Allison, Carrie; Griffiths, Sarah; Baron-Cohen, Simon – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
The UK government identified 'improving support within the criminal justice systems' as a priority for autistic people. There is a lack of quantitative research to enable policymakers to make evidence-based decisions on how to improve access to justice for autistic people. This study used a case-comparison design to compare the experiences of 145…

Kim, So Yoon; Cheon, Jeong Eun; Gillespie-Lynch, Kristen; Kim, Young-Hoon – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
South Korea, a relatively collectivistic and homogeneous country with heightened cultural tightness, is believed to have particularly high levels of stigma toward autistic individuals, who sometimes engage in behaviors that diverge from social norms. This study investigated cross-cultural differences in autism stigma (assessed with a Social…

Geurts, Hilde M.; McQuaid, Goldie A.; Begeer, Sander; Wallace, Gregory L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Prior research suggests that autistic adults are at increased risk for developing the core motor components of Parkinson's disease (i.e. parkinsonism) although knowledge is limited to date. Therefore, we explore: (1) the prevalence of both continuous self-reported motor features typical of parkinsonism and the screen positivity rate for…

Liu, Xian; Sun, Xin; Sun, Caihong; Zou, Mingyang; Chen, Yiru; Huang, Junping; Wu, Lijie; Chen, Wen-Xiong – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
The literature from inception to 2020 on the prevalence of epilepsy in autistic individuals was systematically reviewed and further explored by subgroup analyses and meta-regression models. This systematic review is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020179725). A total of 66 studies from 53 articles were included. The updated pooled prevalence of…
