Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often report higher rates of depression and the related negative thought patterns that may precede a clinical diagnosis. These negative thought patterns are referred to as depressive cognitions. Depressive cognitions are exacerbated by child problem behaviors (CPB) but may be impacted by…

This longitudinal study assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 62; M[subscript age] = 13 years) by measuring emotional and behavioral problems before and during the pandemic, and by comparing this change to a matched sample of children without ASD (n = 213; M[subscript age] = 16 years).…

The interactions between sleep problems, autism symptoms and emotional and behavioural difficulties were explored using network analysis in 240 autistic children (mean age: 8.8 years, range 5-13 years) with moderate to severe sleep problems. Findings revealed a highly connected and interpretable network, with three separate clusters identified of…

Hinkle, Karlie A.; Lerman, Dorothea C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Law enforcement officers (LEOs) may use physical force unnecessarily or escalate problem behavior when attempting to gain the compliance of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Copenhaver & Tewksbury in American Journal of Criminal Justice 44:309--333, 2019). Although specialized training may remedy this problem, the relatively…

Vitale, Sarah Rose; Schneider, Hoa; Gardner, Lauren; Alessandri, Michael; Marker, Craig – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorder present with challenging behaviors that can impact caregivers by increasing parental perceived stress and risk for depression. However, positive coping strategies have also been identified as protective factors for parents of children with ASD. The present study examined parental perceived daily stressors and…

This was an exploratory cross-sectional study comparing 45 children with ASD to 24 typically developing drug-naïve controls, group-matched on age, sex, and body mass index. Objective data was obtained using the following: an ambulatory circadian monitoring device; saliva samples to determine dim light melatonin onset (DLMO): and three…

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:…

Frasch, Martin G.; Shen, Chao; Wu, Hau-Tieng; Mueller, Alexander; Neuhaus, Emily; Bernier, Raphael A.; Kamara, Dana; Beauchaine, Theodore P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Several studies show altered heart rate variability (HRV) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but findings are neither universal nor specific to ASD. We apply a set of linear and nonlinear HRV measures--including phase rectified signal averaging--to segments of resting ECG data collected from school-age children with ASD, age-matched typically…

McCormack, Lynne; Wong, Sze Wing; Campbell, Linda E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRBs) are observed in many children presenting with characteristics of autism and are frequently the targets of psychological interventions. This study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to identify positive and negative interpretations from four young adults who received behavioural…

Nasca, Brian C.; Lopata, Christopher; Donnelly, James P.; Rodgers, Jonathan D.; Thomeer, Marcus L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study examined sex differences in externalizing and internalizing symptoms of children with ASD without intellectual disability (ID). The sample (n = 80) included 40 girls and 40 boys, ages 6-12 years, with ASD (without ID) matched on age and IQ. Externalizing and internalizing symptoms were significantly elevated for this sample (girls and…

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by neurodevelopmental delays, hyperphagia, difficulties with social communication and challenging behaviours. Individuals require intensive supervision from caregivers which may negatively affect caregiver quality of life. This study used data collected in the Australasian PWS…

DaWalt, Leann Smith; Fielding-Gebhardt, Heather; Fleming, Kandace K.; Warren, Steven F.; Brady, Nancy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
In this study, we examined trajectories of specific domains of behavior problems (i.e., attention problems, depression/anxiety, and aggressive behavior) from age 6 to 18 in a sample of 55 children with fragile X syndrome. We also examined autism status and early parenting as predictors of subsequent behavioral trajectories. We found that attention…

Hirota, Tomoya; Deserno, Marie; McElroy, Eoin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Irritability and aggression (IA) are highly prevalent in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although clinical correlates of IA in this population have been previously examined, findings from existing studies capturing symptoms as a set of latent variables do not fully explain meaningful associations between the symptoms themselves.…

Allen, Korrie; Harrington, John; Quetsch, Lauren B.; Masse, Joshua; Cooke, Cathy; Paulson, James F. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
A relatively large number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit disruptive behavioral problems. While accumulating data have shown behavioral parent training programs to be efficacious in reducing disruptive behaviors for this population, there is a dearth of literature examining the impact of such programs across the range of…

Charlton, Anna S.; Smith, Isaac C.; Mazefsky, Carla A.; White, Susan W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Deficits in emotion regulation (ER) are commonly observed in individuals with ASD and may contribute to elevated rates of psychiatric comorbidity. The objective of this study was to understand the relationship between ER (self-and caregiver-reported) and clinician-assigned mood and anxiety disorders in emerging adults with ASD (n = 27).…
