Direct linkMilgramm, Anna; Christodulu, Kristin V.; Rinaldi, Melissa L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The rising prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) necessitates a greater understanding of the academic experience of diagnosed children. The present study investigates several predictors of teacher-reported academic competence among a sample of elementary school children. All children in the sample were referred for an ASD evaluation and…

Verbal Ability, Behavior Problems, and Mother-Child Relationship Quality in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Lorang, Emily; Hong, Jinkuk; Song, Jieun; DaWalt, Leann Smith; Mailick, Marsha – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study examined differences in mother-child relationship quality and parent-rated child behavior problems based on child verbal status (i.e., minimally verbal versus verbal) in mothers and their adolescent and adult children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 219 dyads; child M[subscript age] = 25.38 years, SD = 10.22). Relationship quality…

Lauren Gardner; Callie Gilchrest; Jonathan M. Campbell – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5-TR features the option to designate levels of support for social communication (SC) and restricted, repetitive behaviors (RRB). These levels are conceptual in nature, but research indicates standardized assessment outcomes correspond with clinician-assigned levels of support. The…

Jennie Sotelo-Orozco; Irva Hertz-Picciotto – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Investigate the association between gastrointestinal (GI) issues and psychometric scores among children with developmental delays and typical development. We examined the association between GI issues and the Mullen Scale of Early Learning (MSEL), Vineland Adaptive Behavior Subscales (VABS), and Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) scores from…

Stephenson, Kevin G.; Norris, Megan; Butter, Eric M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Previous research has identified possible sex-based differences in restricted and repetitive behaviors in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, this finding is mixed, particularly among preschool-aged children. We investigated the presence of sex-based differences in parent-rated ASD symptomatology, using the Autism Spectrum Rating Scale…

3q29 deletion syndrome (3q29del) is associated with neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental phenotypes. We previously reported that graphomotor weakness is present in up to 78% of individuals with 3q29del. We have now explored nuances of the graphomotor phenotype and its association with other comorbidities in this population. Participants were…

Insomnia is one of the most common co-occurring disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this cross-sectional cohort study of 270 children with ASD was to assess the prevalence of insomnia using the Pediatric Sleep Clinical Global Impression Scale and to correlate sleep problems with cognitive level, adaptive…

Williams, Diane L.; Siegel, Matthew; Mazefsky, Carla A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Data from the Autism Inpatient Collection was used to examine the relationship between problem behaviors and verbal ability, which have generally, though not universally, been highly associated. In a comparison of 169 minimally-verbal and 177 fluently-verbal 4 to 20-year-old psychiatric inpatients with ASD, the severity of self-injurious behavior,…

Ratto, Allison B.; Reimann, Gabrielle; Nadwodny, Nicole – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Previous findings show executive functioning advantages associated with dual language learning (DLL) among neurotypical individuals, yet few studies have investigated these effects in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The present study investigated effects of DLL and socioeconomic status (SES) on parent-reported executive functioning,…

Galligan, Megan Ledoux; Heyman, Michelle; Bolourian, Yasamin; Stavropoulos, Katherine; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Emotional and behavioral problems (EBPs), such as anxiety, overactivity, and aggression, can influence the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The gold standard diagnostic tool for ASD, the "Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule--Second Edition," includes three items ("E-codes") for EBPs that are frequently associated…

Piwowarczyk, Anna; Horvath, Andrea; Pisula, Ewa; Kawa, Rafal; Szajewska, Hania – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
To determine whether a gluten-free diet (GFD) compared with a gluten-containing diet (GD) influences functioning of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), we performed a randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial. Sixty-six children (36-69 months) with ASD, within the normal IQ (> 70) range, who had been on a GFD for at least 8 weeks…

Aspects of Sexuality in Adolescents and Adults Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders in Childhood
Fernandes, Lucrecia Cabral; Gillberg, Carina I.; Cederlund, Mats; Hagberg, Bibbi; Gillberg, Christopher; Billstedt, Eva – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
The literature concerning sexuality in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is limited regarding inappropriate sexual behaviours and paraphilias and its relation to age, verbal ability, symptom severity, intellectual ability, or adaptive functioning. A cohort of 184 adolescents and young adults (ages 15-39 years) with ASD diagnosed in childhood,…

Correlates of Feeding Difficulties among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review
Page, Shayleigh Dickson; Souders, Margaret C.; Kral, Tanja V. E.; Chao, Ariana M.; Pinto-Martin, Jennifer – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Feeding difficulties related to selective intake, or eating a limited variety of foods, are very common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, and CINAHL identified 29 studies that evaluated eight correlates: age, ASD symptoms and severity, cognitive and adaptive skills, sensory processing…

Udhnani, Manisha D.; Kenworthy, Lauren; Wallace, Gregory L.; Yerys, Benjamin E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Executive functioning is thought to contribute to adaptive behavior skills development in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, supporting data are largely based on caregiver reports of executive functioning. The current study evaluated whether performance-based measures of executive functioning (working memory and inhibition)…

H.; Pasco, Greg; Pickles, Andrew; Tucker, Leslie; Volein, Agnes – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Cognitive and adaptive behaviour abilities early in life provide important clinical prognostic information. We examined stability of such skills in children at high familial risk for ASD who either met diagnostic criteria for ASD at age 7 years (HR-ASD, n = 15) or did not (HR-non-ASD, n = 24) and low-risk control children (LR, n = 37),…
