Autistic people with intellectual disabilities appear to be at increased risk of schizophrenia. While current recommendations emphasize adapting interventions used for people with schizophrenia in general, few studies to date have investigated treatment of co-occurring schizophrenia in this specific population. To explore what interventions are…

Lloyd, Blair P.; Weaver, Emily S.; Torelli, Jessica N.; Pollack, Marney S.; Fareed, Sunya A.; Maxwell-Horn, Angela C. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The purpose of the current study was to explore the scientific utility of two behavior analytic assessments (i.e., progressive ratio and demand assessments) for psychotropic medication evaluation. For a sample of 23 children with disabilities who were prescribed medication, we conducted a series of generalizability and optimization studies to…

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…

Latent Class Analysis Identifies Distinctive Behavioral Subtypes in Children with Fragile X Syndrome
Walter E. Kaufmann; Melissa Raspa; Carla M. Bann; Julia M. Gable; Holly K. Harris; Dejan B. Budimirovic; Reymundo Lozano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is characterized by variable neurobehavioral abnormalities, which leads to difficulties in developing and evaluating treatments and in determining accurate prognosis. We employed a pediatric cross-sectional sample (1,072 males, 338 females) from FORWARD, a clinic-based natural history study, to identify behavioral subtypes…

Chez, Michael; Kile, Shawn; Lepage, Christopher; Parise, Carol; Benabides, Bobbie; Hankins, Andrea – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Prior studies have demonstrated successful irritability treatment using dopaminergic antagonists in autistic patients. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effect of dextromethorphan/quinidine (DM/Q) in autistic adults (18-60 years of age). This was a randomized, blinded, crossover, study of 14 patients randomized to DM/Q or a placebo…

Blickwedel, Jessica; Vickerstaff, Victoria; Walker, Matthew; Hassiotis, Angela – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2019
Background: As both epilepsy and challenging behaviour are highly prevalent in adults with intellectual disability (ID) it is important to explore any potential relationships between the two to inform patient care. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between epilepsy factors and challenging behaviour in adults with ID.…

Charlot, Lauren R.; Weigle, Karen L.; Holingue, Calliope B. – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Introduction: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) and IDD have lower psychiatric disorders rates than other individuals with IDD, and more information is needed about possible unique mental health needs of this group. Method: De-identified intake data for individuals with IDD, 101 with DS (mean age 27) and 4,366 without DS (mean age 25) served in…

Dean, Olivia M.; Gray, Kylie; Dodd, Seetal; Villagonzalo, Kristi-Ann; Brown, Ellie; Tonge, Bruce; Berk, Michael; Byrne, Linda K. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2019
Background: Traditional treatment for the behavioural symptoms in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains unsatisfactory. There is an urgent need for new, biologically relevant therapies that target both the core and comorbid symptoms that children may experience. This article builds on research previously published by the authors. Method: We…

Lord, Catherine; McCauley, James B.; Pepa, Lauren A.; Huerta, Marisela; Pickles, Andrew – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Longitudinal data on the functioning of adults referred for possible autism as children are sparse and possibly different from datasets consisting of adult clinical referrals. A total of 123 young adults, mean age of 26, referred for neurodevelopmental disorders in early childhood were categorized into three outcome groups: autism spectrum…

Lewis, Alan S.; van Schalkwyk, Gerrit Ian; Lopez, Mayra Ortiz; Volkmar, Fred R.; Picciotto, Marina R.; Sukhodolsky, Denis G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), particularly the a7 nAChR, are implicated in the pathophysiology of both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and aggressive behavior. We explored the feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of targeting nAChRs using transdermal nicotine to reduce aggressive symptoms in adults with ASD. Eight…

Loebel, Antony; Brams, Matthew; Goldman, Robert S.; Silva, Robert; Hernandez, David; Deng, Ling; Mankoski, Raymond; Findling, Robert L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of lurasidone in treating irritability associated with autistic disorder. In this multicenter trial, outpatients age 6-17 years who met DSM-IV-TR criteria for autistic disorder, and who demonstrated irritability, agitation, and/or self-injurious behaviors were randomized to…
