Manifestations of insistence on sameness (IS) and circumscribed interests (CI) are complex, with individuals varying considerably, not only in the types of behaviours they express, but also in terms of a behaviour's frequency, intensity, trajectory, adaptive benefits, and impacts. However, current quantitative RRB instruments capture only certain…

Purpose: In the context of developmental trajectories, the association between adaptive functioning and core autism symptomatology remains unclear. The current study examines the associations of adaptive behavior with autism symptom sub-domains and with different facets of symptom expression. Methods: Participants include 36 children with a recent…

Prior research has demonstrated that cognitive inflexibility is associated with anxiety in autistic individuals. Everyday patterns of behavioral inflexibility (e.g. observable inflexible behavior in the context of the need to change or adapt and that is manifested in real-world everyday settings) is common in autism and can be distinguished from…

Stephanie Petty; Amy Ellis – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Movement of the body is an essential way to characterise autism, according to diagnostic criteria. However, qualifying descriptions of what autistic movements are, their functions and personal value, are missing from academic literature and clinical guidance. We systematically searched for autistic adults' descriptions of their body and its…

Katherine Byrne; Kyle Sterrett; Alison Holbrook; So Hyun Kim; Rebecca Grzadzinski; Catherine Lord – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The current study investigated the utility of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change-Phrase Speech Young Fluent (BOSCC-PSYF) as an outcome measure of treatment response by analyzing the measure's psychometric properties and initial validity. The BOSCC coding scheme was applied to 345 administrations from 160 participants diagnosed…

Blume, Jessica; Kahathuduwa, Chanaka; Mastergeorge, Ann – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Brain connectivity of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is heterogenous, as are the behavioral manifestations. The current study investigated brain-behavior relationships in the context of social skills and executive function profiles with data from the Autism Brain Imaging Database Exchange II. We calculated connectivity measures…

Zakai-Mashiach, Mati – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autistic individuals' experience of the inclusion process is poorly understood, especially that of female pupils. This study retrospectively explored the views of autistic women who were included in general schools throughout childhood and adolescence, from elementary to high school, to understand their unique experiences and learn more about…

Tse, Andy C. Y.; Lee, Paul H.; Zhang, Jihui; Chan, Roy C. Y.; Ho, Amy W. Y.; Lai, Elvis W. H. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Poor sleep quality and low behavioral functioning are commonly reported in children with autism spectrum disorder. This study examined the impact of exercise on sleep on melatonin level and behavioral functioning in the population. Children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 55; age = 10.97 ± 1.90) were randomly allocated to a morning jogging…

We aimed to identify unique constellations of sensory phenotypes for genetic etiologies associated with diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID). Caregivers reported on sensory behaviors via the Sensory Profile for 290 participants (younger than 25 years of age) with ASD and/or ID diagnoses, of which…

Stone, Beth; Cameron, Ailsa; Dowling, Sandra – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Emerging research suggests autistic people are disproportionately represented in homeless populations. Less is known about how autistic people experience homelessness and what prevents them from exiting homelessness. This article presents findings from a narrative enquiry investigating the link between autism and homelessness. Ten autistic adults…

Stefanaki, Areti; Gkogkos, Georgios; Varlokosta, Spyridoula; Gena, Angeliki – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Infants develop attachment to their caregivers very early on. The quality of attachment is considered to be crucial for the emotional development of humans and animals alike. Despite its importance, very little is known about how attachment develops between children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their caregivers. The purpose of the…

Ambarchi, Z.; Boulton, K. A.; Thapa, R.; Thomas, E. E.; DeMayo, M. M.; Sasson, N. J.; Hickie, I. B.; Guastella, Adam J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Reduced social attention is characteristic of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It has been suggested to result from an early onset and excessive influence of circumscribed interests (CIs) on gaze behaviour, compared to typically developing (TYP) individuals. To date, these findings have been mixed. The current eye-tracking study utilised a visual…

Restricted and repetitive behaviours vary greatly between autistic people. Some are a source of pleasure or create opportunities for learning; others may be detrimental in day-to-day life or cause harm. We have developed, in close collaboration with parents/carers, the Understanding Repetitive Behaviours programme, designed for families of young…

Schütz, Magdalena; Boxhoorn, Sara; Mühlherr, Andreas M.; Mössinger, Hannah; Freitag, Christine M.; Luckhardt, Christina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The ability to infer intentions from observed behavior and predict actions based on this inference, known as intention attribution (IA), has been hypothesized to be impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The underlying neural processes, however, have not been conclusively determined. The aim of this study was to examine the…

Tiegan Blackhurst; Lara Warmelink; Amanda Roestorf; Calum Hartley – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Deception is a multi-faceted social behaviour that is pervasive in human communication. Due to differences in social communication and experiences, autistic and non-autistic adults may contrast in how they respond to situations that elicit deceptive decision-making. This study examined whether autistic and non-autistic adults differed in their…
