Yi-Shan Sung; Chung-Ying Lin; Shin Ying Chu; Ling-Yi Lin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Emotion dysregulation is one of the challenges that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families face. It is unclear whether emotion dysregulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between sensory processing patterns and problem behaviors among these children. This study examined the relations between emotion…

Rhylee Sulek; Chris Edwards; Ruth Monk; Lee Patrick; Sarah Pillar; Hannah Waddington – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: Professional supports play an important role in aiding autistic children's learning, participation, and overall wellbeing. Yet, limited research exists on stakeholders' perspectives and preferences regarding targeted outcomes for children undergoing support facilitated by professionals. This study investigated stakeholder views on the…

Moore, Heather L.; Brice, Samuel; Powell, Lauren; Ingham, Barry; Freeston, Mark; Parr, Jeremy R.; Rodgers, Jacqui – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Distress caused by sensory processing differences for autistic individuals may be reduced by repetitive behaviours (RRB), including repetitive motor (RMB) and insistence on sameness (ISB) behaviours. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and anxiety mediate the relationship between sensory processing and RRB in autistic children. We replicated this…

Walter E. Kaufmann; Melissa Raspa; Carla M. Bann; Julia M. Gable; Holly K. Harris; Dejan B. Budimirovic; Reymundo Lozano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is characterized by variable neurobehavioral abnormalities, which leads to difficulties in developing and evaluating treatments and in determining accurate prognosis. We employed a pediatric cross-sectional sample (1,072 males, 338 females) from FORWARD, a clinic-based natural history study, to identify behavioral subtypes…

Salvatore, Giovanna L.; Simmons, Christina A.; Tremoulet, Patrice D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Hospitals, with many features that can evoke severe behavior in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), often use restraint as a behavior management strategy. Prior research on restraint in patients with ASD has primarily focused on children or specific departments. Twenty-five physicians and medical trainees from an urban teaching hospital…

Ave M. Lachiewicz; Tracy M. Stackhouse; Kristin Burgess; Debra Burgess; Howard F. Andrews; Tse-Hwei Choo; Walter E. Kaufmann; Sharon A. Kidd – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study was designed to increase our understanding about characteristics and the impact of sensory symptoms (SS) and signs of hyperarousal (HA) in individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) from childhood through early adulthood and by gender. Data derived from the Fragile X Online Registry With Accessible Research Database (FORWARD), a natural…

Atypical sensory processing is common in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but their role in adaptive difficulties and problem behaviors is poorly understood. Our aim was to determine the prevalence and type of atypical sensory processing in children with ASD and investigate its impact on their adaptive functioning and maladaptive behaviors. We…

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…

Milgramm, 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…

Flowers, Jacqueline; Lantz, Johanna; Hamlin, Terry; Simeonsson, Rune J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Self-injurious behavior (SIB) occurs in up to 50% of individuals with autism. As one of the most serious conditions in individuals with developmental disabilities, SIB affects the individual and his or her family in multiple contexts. A systematic analysis of factors most commonly associated with SIB could inform the development of individualized…

Wang, Geng-fu; Li, Wen-Lei; Han, Yu; Gao, Lei; Dai, Wei; Su, Yuan-yuan; Zhang, Xin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Little is known about the relationship between sensory processing problems and sleep disturbances, emotional and behavioral problems and mealtime behavioral problems in Chinese children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This study examined those relationships in Chinese preschool children with ASD using a case-control design. Atypical sensory…

Van Etten, Hannah M.; Kaur, Maninderjit; Srinivasan, Sudha M.; Cohen, Shereen J.; Bhat, Anjana; Dobkins, Karen R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
The current study investigated the prevalence and pattern of unusual sensory behaviors (USBs) in teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and infants (3-36 months) at risk for ASD. From two different sites (UCSD and UConn), caregivers of infants at high (n = 32) and low risk (n = 33) for ASD, and teenagers with (n = 12) and without ASD (n = 11),…

The autism mental status exam is an eight-item observational assessment that structures the way we observe and document signs and symptoms of ASD. Investigations of test performance indicate strong sensitivity and specificity using gold-standard assessment as reference standard. This study aims to explore potential sex differences in AMSE test…

Tomchek, Scott D.; Little, Lauren M.; Myers, John; Dunn, Winnie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Given the heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), research has investigated how sensory features elucidate subtypes that enhance our understanding of etiology and tailored treatment approaches. Previous studies, however, have not integrated core developmental behaviors with sensory features in investigations of subtypes in ASD. Therefore,…

Wigham, Sarah; Rodgers, Jacqui; South, Mikle; McConachie, Helen; Freeston, Mark – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Sensory processing abnormalities, anxiety and restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRBs) frequently co-occur in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Though the relationship between these phenomena is not well understood, emerging evidence indicates intolerance of uncertainty (IU) may play an important role. This study aimed to determine pathways…
