Taeyeop Lee; Hyeji Lee; Soowhee Kim; Kee Jeong Park; Joon-Yong An; Hyo-Won Kim – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variations underlying the early neurodevelopmental outcome of developmental disabilities (DDs). The study cohort consisted of 191 children with DDs. Diagnosis was assessed at baseline and at the index age (72-84 months). Exome sequencing was conducted and putative risk variants were identified.…

Selda Ozdemir; Isik Akin-Bulbul; Erol Yildiz – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Impairments in joint attention are considered core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are crucial for early assessment and intervention. However, existing information about visual attention during joint attention and its relation to developmental functioning is limited. The current study investigated the visual attention differences…

García-Alcón, Alicia; González-Peñas, Javier; Weckx, Elisa; Penzol, M. J.; Gurriarán, Xaquín; Costas, Javier; Díaz-Caneja, Covadonga M.; Moreno, Carmen; Hernández, Patricia; Arango, Celso; Parellada, Mara – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Whether there is a relationship between oxytocin (OXT) use in labor and the risk of autism (ASD), and the nature of such relationship, is unclear. By integrating genetic and clinical data in a sample of 176 ASD participants, we tested the hypothesis that OXT is a marker for abnormal prenatal development which leads to impairments in the process of…

Zehra Al Fahdawi; Cheryl Dissanayake; Ifrah Abdullahi; The Victorian ASELCC Team – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Children typically learn by attending to other people. Autism traits may impact access to social stimuli fundamental to early learning, increasing children's likelihood of a learning disability. Recent reports have highlighted that Autistic children from minority backgrounds have a higher likelihood of co-occurring intellectual disability. This…

Joshua Anbar; Nicole Matthews; Stephen James; Afzal Ariff; Karen Pierce; Christopher J. Smith – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Few studies have examined differences in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) phenotype between children from multiplex and simplex families at the time of diagnosis. The present study used an age- and gender-matched, community-based sample (n = 105) from the southwestern United States to examine differences in ASD symptom severity, cognitive…

Prigge, Molly B. D.; Bigler, Erin D.; Lange, Nicholas; Morgan, Jubel; Froehlich, Alyson; Freeman, Abigail; Kellett, Kristina; Kane, Karen L.; King, Carolyn K.; Taylor, June; Dean, Douglas C., III; King, Jace B.; Anderson, Jeff S.; Zielinski, Brandon A.; Alexander, Andrew L.; Lainhart, Janet E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Intelligence (IQ) scores are used in educational and vocational planning for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) yet little is known about the stability of IQ throughout development. We examined longitudinal age-related IQ stability in 119 individuals with ASD (3-36 years of age at first visit) and 128 typically developing controls.…

Daniele; Irva Hertz-Picciotto; Newschaffer, Craig J.; Lyall, Kristen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
We examined the association between prenatal fish intake and child autism-related traits according to Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and cognitive development scores in two US prospective pregnancy cohorts. In adjusted linear regression analyses, higher maternal fish intake in the second half of pregnancy was associated with increased child…

While advances in intensive neonatal care have greatly improved survival rates among preterm infants, incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders in this group is still high, with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) being one of the most frequent. To this end, we conducted a social-communication intervention aimed at investigating efficacy in…

Sohyun An Kim; Connie Kasari – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
While working memory (WM) is a powerful predictor for children's school outcomes, autistic children are more likely to experience delays. This study compared autistic children and their neurotypical peers' WM development over their elementary school years, including relative growth and period of plasticity. Using a nationally-representative…

Doernberg, Ellen A.; Russ, Sandra W.; Dimitropoulos, Anastasia – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by socio-emotional deficits, and difficulties with pretend play skills. Play skills are related to processes of adaptive functioning and emotion understanding. The present pilot study implemented an in-person pretend play intervention to school-aged children (ages 6 to 9 years,…

Levinson, Sarah; Neuspiel, Juliana; Eisenhower, Abbey; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
ASD symptomology and behavioral problems pose challenges for children with ASD in school. Disagreement between parents and teachers in ratings of children's behavior problems may provide clinically relevant information. We examined parent-teacher disagreement on ratings of behavior problems among children with ASD during the fall and spring of the…
