Taeyeop Lee; Hyeji Lee; Soowhee Kim; Kee Jeong Park; Joon-Yong An; Hyo-Won Kim – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variations underlying the early neurodevelopmental outcome of developmental disabilities (DDs). The study cohort consisted of 191 children with DDs. Diagnosis was assessed at baseline and at the index age (72-84 months). Exome sequencing was conducted and putative risk variants were identified.…

Theory of Mind and Executive Function in Preschoolers with Typical Development versus Intellectually Able Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kimhi, Yael; Shoam-Kugelmas, Dana; Agam Ben-Artzi, Galit; Ben-Moshe, Inbal; Bauminger-Zviely, Nirit – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties in theory of mind (ToM) and executive function (EF), which may be linked because one domain (EF) affects the other (ToM). Group differences (ASD vs. typical development) were examined in both cognitive domains, as well as EF's associations and regressions with ToM. Participants…

Effectiveness and Feasibility of the Early Start Denver Model Implemented in a Group-Based Community Childcare Setting
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vivanti, Giacomo; Paynter, Jessica; Duncan, Ed; Fothergill, Hannah; Dissanayake, Cheryl; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
A recent study documented the efficacy of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) delivered in a 1:1 fashion. In the current study we investigated the effectiveness and feasibility of the ESDM in the context of a long-day care community service, with a child-staff ratio of 1:3. Outcomes of 27 preschoolers with ASD undergoing 15-25 h per week of ESDM…

Asperger through the Looking Glass: An Exploratory Study of Self-Understanding in People with Asperger's Syndrome
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jackson, Paul; Skirrow, Paul; Hare, Dougal Julian – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Hobson (Autism and the development of mind. Lawrence Erlbaum, Hove, UK "1993") has proposed that the cognitive and linguistic disabilities that characterise autism result from abnormalities in inter-subjective engagement during infancy, which in turn results in impaired reflective self-awareness. The aim of the present study was to test Hobson's…

Symbolic Play of Preschoolers with Severe Communication Impairments with Autism and Other Developmental Delays: More Similarities than Differences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Thiemann-Bourque, Kathy S.; Brady, Nancy C.; Fleming, Kandace K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Children with autism are often described as having deficient play skills, particularly symbolic play. We compared the play of 35 children with autism to 38 children with other developmental delays. All children were preschool-age and produced less than 20 different words. Results indicated no significant differences across the two groups in their…

Object Identification and Imagination: An Alternative to the Meta-Representational Explanation of Autism
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Woodard, Cooper R.; Van Reet, Jennifer – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
Past research has focused on pretend play in infants with autism because it is considered an early manifestation of symbolic or imaginative thinking. Contradictory research findings have challenged the meta-representational model. The intent of this paper is to propose that pretend play is the behavioral manifestation of developing imaginative…

Alderson-Day, Ben; McGonigle-Chalmers, Margaret – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
Fourteen children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and fourteen age-matched typically-developing (TD) controls were tested on an adapted version of the Twenty Questions Task (Mosher and Hornsby in Studies in cognitive growth. Wiley, New York, pp 86-102, "1966") to examine effects of content, executive and verbal IQ factors on category use in…

Gamliel, Ifat; Yirmiya, Nurit; Jaffe, Dena H.; Manor, Orly; Sigman, Marian – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
We compared the cognitive and language development at 4, 14, 24, 36, 54 months, and 7 years of siblings of children with autism (SIBS-A) to that of siblings of children with typical development (SIBS-TD) using growth curve analyses. At 7 years, 40% of the SIBS-A, compared to 16% of SIBS-TD, were identified with cognitive, language and/or academic…

Hutchins, Tiffany L.; Bonazinga, Laura A.; Prelock, Patricia A.; Taylor, Rebecca S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2008
The Perceptions of Children's Theory of Mind Measure (Experimental version; PCToMM-E) is an informant measure designed to tap children's theory of mind competence. Study one evaluated the measure when completed by primary caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder. Scores demonstrated high test-retest reliability and correlated with…

Gamliel, Ifat; Yirmiya, Nurit; Sigman, Marian – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2007
Cognitive and language skills of 39 siblings of children with autism (SIBS-A) and 39 siblings of typically developing children (SIBS-TD) at ages 4, 14, 24, 36, and 54 months were compared. Twelve of the 39 SIBS-A revealed a delay in cognition and/or language (including one child diagnosed with autism) compared to only two SIBS-TD. Developmental…

Fisch, Gene S.; Simensen, Richard J.; Schroer, R. J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2002
Comparison of children and adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome (n=18) or autism (n=18) for changes in cognitive ability and adaptive behavior over 9 years found steeper decreases in IQ scores among Fragile X subjects with older autistic subjects autism exhibiting stable test-retest scores. Comparative declines in adaptive behavior scores were…

Do Children with PDDNOS Have a Theory of Mind?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sicotte, Charles; Stemberger, Ruth M. T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1999
This study sought to differentiate pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDDNOS) from similar nonautistic disorders on the basis of a cognitive deficit, theory of mind (ToM), which is the ability to infer mental states in others, a deficit highly prevalent in autism, a disorder similar to PDDNOS. Results suggest that children…
