Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kimberly S. Ellison; Elzbieta Jarzabek; Scott L. J. Jackson; Adam Naples; James C. McPartland – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
There has been a heightened awareness of an increased risk of suicidality among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) due to high rates of suicidal ideation (SI) in this population (11-66%). The current study investigated the rate of parent-endorsed SI and associated clinical features in 48 youths with ASD (Age; M: 12.97 years, SD:…

Hickey, Emily J.; Feinberg, Emily; Kuhn, Jocelyn; Cabral, Howard J.; Broder-Fingert, Sarabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Over the past 10 years, identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) risk has dramatically increased due to the wide-spread implementation of screening programs; yet, there is limited understanding about parent perceptions and experiences during the time period when risk is identified, but prior to receiving a formal diagnosis--a period that…

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…

Exploring the Moderating Role of Benefit Finding on the Relationship between Child Problematic Behaviours and Psychological Distress in Caregivers of Children with ASD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lovell, Brian; Wetherell, Mark A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Caregivers of children with ASD often find benefits associated with their caregiving role, and benefit finding predicts lower distress. Child problematic behaviours (CPB), which positively predict caregivers' distress, are perceived to be being less problematic, or more manageable, by caregivers who find benefits. Benefit finding therefore might…

Salomone, Erica; Shephard, Elizabeth; Milosavljevic, Bosiljka; Johnson, Mark H.; Charman, Tony; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Bedford, Rachael; Bolton, Patrick; Chandler, Susie; Elsabbagh, Mayada; Fernandes, Janice; Garwood, Holly; Gliga, Teodora; Hudry, Kristelle; Jones, Emily J. 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),…

South, M.; Beck, J. S.; Lundwall, R.; Christensen, M.; Cutrer, E. A.; Gabrielsen, T. P.; Cox, J. C.; Lundwall, R. A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Understanding the cognitive and emotional mechanisms that link autistic traits and risk for suicide is a vital next step for research and clinical practice. This study included a broad sample of adult women (n = 74) who report finding social situations confusing and/or exhausting, and who score high on measures of autistic traits. Regardless of…

Handen, Benjamin L.; Mazefsky, Carla A.; Gabriels, Robin L.; Pedersen, Kahsi A.; Wallace, Meredith; Siegel, Matthew – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Limited information about self-injurious behavior (SIB) is known for children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who require intensive behavioral health interventions. We examined risk-factors for SIB in 302 individuals with ASD (ages 4-20) admitted to six specialized psychiatric inpatient units. Seventy-four percent were reported…

Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with significant mental health concerns, little is known about suicidality, particularly among youth. To address this critical gap in the literature, the current study examined the predictive validity of (1) demographics, (2) core autism symptoms, (3) cognitive abilities and adaptive behavior,…
