Alecia Mercier; Gabriela Sherrod; Robin Ennis; Olivio J. Clay; Caroline G. Richter; Despina Stavrinos – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
A developmental milestone that both contributes to and facilitates a successful transition into adulthood is the ability to drive. Yet only one in three autistic adolescents successfully obtain a driver's license by age 21 compared to over three-fourths of non-autistic adolescents. Of those who receive their license, there is inconsistency in…

Stuart, Nicole; Whitehouse, Andrew; Palermo, Romina; Bothe, Ellen; Badcock, Nicholas – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Reduced eye contact early in life may play a role in the developmental pathways that culminate in a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. However, there are contradictory theories regarding the neural mechanisms involved. According to the amygdala theory of autism, reduced eye contact results from a hypoactive amygdala that fails to flag eyes as…

Zapparrata, Nicole M.; Brooks, Patricia J.; Ober, Teresa M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting information processing across domains. The current meta-analysis investigated whether slower processing speed is associated with the ASD neurocognitive profile and whether findings hold across different time-based tasks and stimuli (social vs. nonsocial; linguistic…

Sreckovic, Melissa A.; Kenney, Christine K.; Wallace, Matthew – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Law enforcement officers are the primary individuals called and who respond to situations of heightened concern. They make split-second observations and decisions based on how best to react to given safety situations and those involved. Characteristics of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), if not properly understood and reacted to, may quickly…

Melika Kangarani-Farahani; Myrah Anum Malik; Jill G. Zwicker – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This article comprehensively reviews motor impairments in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to: (1) determine the prevalence of motor problems in children with ASD; (2) understand the nature of motor difficulties in ASD and whether they are consistent with developmental coordination disorder (DCD); and (3) determine if the term DCD was…

Dechsling, Anders; Orm, Stian; Kalandadze, Tamara; Sütterlin, Stefan; Øien, Roald A.; Shic, Frederick; Nordahl-Hansen, Anders – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
In the last decade, there has been an increase in publications on technology-based interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Virtual reality based assessments and intervention tools are promising and have shown to be acceptable amongst individuals with ASD. This scoping review reports on 49 studies utilizing virtual reality and augmented…

Mason, David; Capp, Simone J.; Stewart, Gavin R.; Kempton, Matthew J.; Glaser, Karen; Howlin, Patricia; Happé, Francesca – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Longitudinal studies have generally reported poor outcomes in adulthood for the majority of individuals (c.50-60%) with autism. Several factors putatively predict outcome (e.g. IQ), but findings remain mixed. This paper presents an updated meta-analysis of autism outcome studies and extends previous findings with additional analyses (including…

Flegenheimer, Chaia; Scherf, K. Suzanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Autistic individuals often struggle to successfully navigate emerging adulthood (EA). College is an increasingly common context in which individuals learn and hone the necessary skills for adulthood. The goal of this paper is to systematically review and assess the existing research on college as a context of EA development in autistic…

Cheng, Wai Man; Smith, Timothy B.; Butler, Marshall; Taylor, Tina M.; Clayton, Devan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been shown to benefit from parent-implemented interventions (PIIs). This meta-analysis improved on prior reviews of PIIs by evaluating RCTs and multiple potential moderators, including indicators of research quality. Fifty-one effect sizes averaged moderately strong overall benefits of PIIs (g =…

Howells, Katherine; Sivaratnam, Carmel; May, Tamara; Lindor, Ebony; McGillivray, Jane; Rinehart, Nicole – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The aim of this novel review and meta-analysis was to clarify the effects of group-based organised physical activity (OPA) for social and communicative outcomes in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Searches yielded 4347 articles. Eleven were identified for review and seven for meta-analysis. Pooled statistical results revealed a…
