Keifer, Cara M.; Mikami, Amori Yee; Morris, James P.; Libsack, Erin J.; Lerner, Matthew D. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Deficient social communication and interaction behaviors are a hallmark feature of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. These social communication and interaction deficits potentially stem from problems with explicit social cognition (i.e. processes that are controlled and largely conscious) as well as with implicit social cognition (i.e.…

Kuzminskaite, Erika; Begeer, Sander; Hoekstra, Rosa A.; Grove, Rachel – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Autism spectrum disorder and anxiety are highly comorbid conditions. Understanding the underlying traits of anxiety in autism spectrum disorder is crucial to prevent and treat it efficiently. Hence, this study determined whether social communication difficulties or restricted repetitive behaviors are stronger risk factors for anxiety symptoms in…

Hugh, Maria L.; Johnson, LeAnne D.; Cook, Clayton – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Early Childhood Special Education teachers select practices to use to promote social communication development for their students with autism spectrum disorder. Understanding what evidence-based practices teachers select and why can inform the development of dissemination and implementation supports at the critical Adoption-Decision stage of…

Ben-Itzchak, Esther; Zachor, Ditza A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
This prospective study examined the developmental changes over time of adolescents diagnosed in toddlerhood with autism spectrum disorder and searched for child characteristics at toddlerhood that predict outcome at adolescence. The study included 65 participants who were divided into low cognitive (developmental quotient [less than] 85; N = 41)…

Locke, Jill; Kang-Yi, Christina; Frederick, Lindsay; Mandell, David S. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Several interventions have demonstrated efficacy in improving social outcomes for children with autism, but they often are not used in schools. This study examined individual and organizational factors associated with the use of a research-informed social engagement intervention, Remaking Recess, for children with autism in elementary schools. A…

Hosozawa, Mariko; Sacker, Amanda; Mandy, William; Midouhas, Emily; Flouri, Eirini; Cable, Noriko – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
This study aimed to identify determinants of a late autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, including diagnoses made 'very late' (i.e., in adolescence), using the Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative population-based cohort in the United Kingdom. Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder by age 14 (N = 581) were included and…

Malesa, Elizabeth; Foss-Feig, Jennifer; Yoder, Paul; Warren, Zachary; Walden, Tedra; Stone, Wendy L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2013
The relation between early joint attention (in which a child coordinates attention between another person and an object or event) and later language and social outcomes was examined in younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (Sibs-ASD) and younger siblings of children with typical development (Sibs-TD). Initial levels of joint…

Frazier, Thomas W.; Youngstrom, Eric A.; Embacher, Rebecca; Hardan, Antonio Y.; Constantino, John N.; Law, Paul; Findling, Robert L.; Eng, Charis – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2014
Demographic and clinical factors may influence assessment of autism symptoms. This study evaluated these correlates and also examined whether social communication and interaction and restricted/repetitive behavior provided unique prediction of autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. We analyzed data from 7352 siblings included in the Interactive…

Sofronoff, Kate; Dark, Elizabeth; Stone, Valerie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2011
Children with Asperger syndrome (AS) have IQ within the normal range but specific impairments in theory of mind, social interaction and communication skills. The majority receive education in mainstream schools and research suggests they are bullied more than typically developing peers. The current study aimed to evaluate factors that predict…

Speer, Leslie L.; Cook, Anne E.; McMahon, William M.; Clark, Elaine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2007
Recent eye tracking studies of face processing have produced differing accounts of how and whether children with autism differ from their typically developing peers. The two groups' gaze patterns appear to differ for dynamic videos of social scenes, but not for static photos of isolated individuals. The present study replicated and extended…

Brogan, Clare A.; Knussen, Christina – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2003
Satisfaction with disclosure of the diagnosis of autism was investigated using a questionnaire completed by 126 parents. Results indicate 55% of parents were satisfied with the disclosure. Satisfaction was more likely if parents gave positive ratings to the manner of the professional and quality of the information. (Contains references.)…
