Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Krieger, Israel; Erez, Galit; Weinstein, Orly; Cohen, Arnon Dov; Tzur Bitan, Dana – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
In this study we aimed to assess whether individuals with ASD are prone to higher infection rates, or to severe COVID-19 illness. Individuals with ASD and age- and gender-matched controlled counterparts (total n = 32,812) were assessed for COVID-19 infection rates and hospitalizations. Results indicated higher infection rates among individuals…

Kavanaugh, Brian C.; Schremp, Christine A.; Jones, Richard N.; Best, Carrie R.; Sheinkopf, Stephen J.; Morrow, Eric M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The objective of this study was to determine the clinical features that moderate a later age at ASD diagnosis in females in a large sample of females with ASD. Within two large and independent ASD datasets (>20,000 females), females were first diagnosed with ASD 14-months later relative to males. This later age at diagnosis was moderated by a…

Andrew E. Silva; Jane E. Harding; Arijit Chakraborty; Darren W. Dai; Greg D. Gamble; Christopher J. D. McKinlay; Samson Nivins; Rajesh Shah; Benjamin Thompson; Children with HYpoglycemia and their Later Development (CHYLD) Study Team – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The dorsal stream vulnerability hypothesis posits that the dorsal stream, responsible for visual motion and visuo-motor processing, may be particularly vulnerable during neurodevelopment. Consistent with this, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with deficits in global motion integration, though deficits in ventral stream tasks,…

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…

Konke, Linn Andersson; Forslund, Tommie; Nilsson-Jobs, Elisabeth; Nyström, Pär; Falck-Ytter, Terje; Brocki, Karin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The current study investigated longitudinal associations between parent-rated temperament, observed exuberance and accelerometer activity level at 18-months and symptoms of ASD and ADHD at 36-months in a sample of 54 children at elevated likelihood for ASD. For the specific parent-rated temperament scales, most observed significant associations…

L.; Pike, G. B.; Fonov, V.; Kostopoulos, P.; Das, S.; Gerig, G.; Styner, M.; Gu, H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The present study investigated the relationship between infant temperament characteristics and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk status. Temperament was examined at 6, 12, and 24 months in 282 infants at high familial risk for ASD and 114 low-risk controls using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised and Early Childhood Behavior…

Killian, Haley J.; Pallotto, Isabella K.; Sweeney, Brooke R.; Dreyer Gillette, Meredith L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are at an increased risk for developing obesity when compared to their typically developing peers. Given higher prevalence of obesity in youth with ASD, understanding factors relating to success in obesity treatment provides insight into implementing efficacious treatments for youth. The current study…

Payne, Katy-Louise; Maras, K. L.; Russell, A. J.; Brosnan, M. J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Mental health difficulties, family and childhood adversity factors, substance use and conduct problems have all been linked to offending behaviour in the general population. However, no large-scale study with comparison groups has investigated these risk factors in relation to autistic offenders. The current research included 40 autistic…

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…

Self-Reported Suicidality in Male and Female Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Rumination and Self-Esteem
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arwert, Titia G.; Sizoo, Bram B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Rumination and low self-esteem are associated with suicidality, and with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, rumination and self-esteem in relation to suicidality in adults with ASD have not been examined. This cross-sectional study (n = 75; 46 males and 29 females) investigates the relation of rumination and self-esteem to the…

Adolescence is a time of exceptional physical health juxtaposed against significant psychosocial and weight-related problems. The study included 241, 10-to-13-year-old youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, N = 138) or typical development (TD, N = 103). Standardized exams measured pubertal development, height (HT), weight (WT), heart rate (HR),…

Kleberg, Johan Lundin; Nyström, Pär; Bölte, Sven; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
We studied visual attention to emotional faces in 10-month-old infant siblings of children with ASD (ASD-sibs; N = 70) and a siblings of typically developing children (N = 29) using static stimuli. Contrary to our predictions, we found no evidence for atypical gaze behavior in ASD-sibs when boys and girls were analyzed together. However, a sex…

Shapira, Stuart K.; Tian, Lin H.; Aylsworth, Arthur S.; Elias, Ellen R.; Hoover-Fong, Julie E.; Meeks, Naomi J. L.; Souders, Margaret C.; Tsai, Anne C.-H.; Zackai, Elaine H.; Alexander, Aimee A.; Yeargin-Allsopp, Marshalyn; Schieve, Laura A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The presence of multiple dysmorphic features in some children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) might identify distinct ASD phenotypes and serve as potential markers for understanding causes and prognoses. To evaluate dysmorphology in ASD, children aged 3-6 years with ASD and non-ASD population controls (POP) from the Study to Explore Early…
