Ellen C. Masters; Kevin M. Antshel; Wendy R. Kates; Natalie Russo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Background: Sensory processing differences are reported both in children with ADHD and in children with autism. Given the substantial overlap between autism and ADHD, the current study examined which sensory features were uniquely predictive of autistic traits after controlling for ADHD symptoms, age, IQ, and sex in a sample of children and…

Markiewicz, Katarzyna; Kaczmarek, Bozydar L. J.; Filipiak, Sara – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The study aimed to identify the mediating role of emotional intelligence and social competences in the relationship between gender and broad autism phenotype (BAP) as well as between age and BAP. It comprised 85 parents of children with ASD. They completed the questionnaires of Autism-Spectrum Quotient, social competences, and emotional…

LaBianca, Sonja; LaBianca, Jette; Pagsberg, Anne Katrine; Jakobsen, Klaus Damgaard; Appadurai, Vivek; Buil, Alfonso; Werge, Thomas – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorders that frequently co-occur. Both rare and common genetic variants are important for ASD and ADHD risk but their combined contribution to clinical heterogeneity is unclear. In a sample of 39 ASD and/or ADHD families we…

Brief Report: Associations between Self-Injurious Behaviors and Abdominal Pain among Individuals with ASD-Associated Disruptive Mutations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Kurtz-Nelson, Evangeline C.; Tham, See Wan; Ahlers, Kaitlyn; Cho, Daniel; Wallace, Arianne S.; Eichler, Evan E.; Bernier, Raphael A.; Earl, Rachel K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Self-injurious behaviors (SIB) are elevated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related genetic disorders, but the genetic and biological mechanisms that contribute to SIB in ASD are poorly understood. This study examined rates and predictors of SIB in 112 individuals with disruptive mutations to ASD-risk genes. Current SIB were reported in 30%…

Hatch, Burt; Iosif, Ana-Maria; Chuang, Annie; de la Paz, Leiana; Ozonoff, Sally; Miller, Meghan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Diminished response to name, a potential early marker of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), may also indicate risk for other disorders characterized by attention problems, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Using a familial risk design, we examined whether response to name ability at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months of age…

Fitzpatrick, Sarah E.; Schmitt, Lauren M.; Adams, Ryan; Pedapati, Ernest V.; Wink, Logan K.; Shaffer, Rebecca C.; Sage, Jessica; Weber, Jayne Dixon; Dominick, Kelli C.; Erickson, Craig A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
To date, health related quality of life (QoL) has not been systematically evaluated in youth with fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common single gene cause of autism and the most common inherited form of developmental disability. We describe QoL data gathered using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) completed online by 364 parents…

Campbell, Susan B.; Mahoney, Amanda S.; Brownell, Celia A.; Moore, Elizabeth L.; Tavares, Amy B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Parents of toddlers with an older sibling with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; high risk, HR) and parents of low risk (LR) toddlers with typically-developing older siblings read a wordless picture book to their child at 22 and 28 months. Parents' and toddlers' internal state language (ISL) was coded; parents reported on toddlers' use of ISL.…

Ellis, Katherine; Oliver, Chris; Stefanidou, Chrysi; Apperly, Ian; Moss, Jo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
We directly assessed the broader aspects of sociability (social enjoyment, social motivation, social interaction skills and social discomfort) in individuals with Cornelia de Lange (CdLS), fragile X (FXS) and Rubinstein-Taybi syndromes (RTS), and their association with autism characteristics and chronological age in these groups. Individuals with…

Stamoulis, Catherine; Vogel-Farley, Vanessa; Degregorio, Geneva; Jeste, Shafali S.; Nelson, Charles A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
The electrophysiological correlates of cognitive deficits in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) are not well understood, and modulations of neural dynamics by neuroanatomical abnormalities that characterize the disorder remain elusive. Neural oscillations (rhythms) are a fundamental aspect of brain function, and have dominant frequencies in a wide…
