Sadhwani, Anjali; Wheeler, Anne; Gwaltney, Angela; Peters, Sarika U.; Barbieri-Welge, Rene L.; Horowitz, Lucia T.; Noll, Lisa M.; Hundley, Rachel J.; Bird, Lynne M.; Tan, Wen-Hann – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
We describe the development of 236 children with Angelman syndrome (AS) using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition. Multilevel linear mixed modeling approaches were used to explore differences between molecular subtypes and over time. Individuals with AS continue to make slow gains in development through at least age…

Reciprocal Associations between Language Ability and Social Functioning Development in Pre-Verbal Autistic Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Devon R. Oosting; Mya S. Howard; Alice S. Carter – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Longitudinal research on language abilities and social functioning in young children suggests that gains in one domain affect gains in the other. However, few studies have examined inter-relations of language and social functioning jointly among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Pre-verbal toddlers with ASD are a group…

Jacinta Saldaris; Helen Leonard; Kingsley Wong; Peter Jacoby; Mary Spence; Eric D. Marsh; Tim A. Benke; Scott Demarest; Jenny Downs – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) results in early-onset epilepsy and lifelong cognitive and motor impairments. With no validated measure for communication in CDD, this study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales-Developmental Profile Infant Toddler Checklist (CSBS-DP ITC). Caregivers (n = 150;…

Brief Report: Perceptions of Family-Centered Care across Service Delivery Systems and Types of Caregiver Concerns about Their Toddlers' Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dick, Catherine C.; Ibañez, Lisa V.; DesChamps, Trent D.; Attar, Shana M.; Stone, Wendy L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Family-centered care represents a collaborative partnership between caregivers and service providers, and is associated with positive caregiver and child outcomes. This approach may be especially important for caregivers with early concerns about autism, as service providers are often the gateway to appropriately-specialized intervention.…

Duvall, Susanne W.; Huang-Storms, Lark; Presmanes Hill, Alison; Myers, Julianne; Fombonne, Eric – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Inconsistent findings regarding sex differences in cognition have been found in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study evaluated sex differences in cognitive-developmental functioning in a large clinical sample of young children diagnosed with ASD. The sample included children 18-68 months of age who received the Mullen Scales of…

Visual Traces of Language Acquisition in Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder during the Second Year of Life
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Habayeb, Serene; Tsang, Tawny; Saulnier, Celine; Klaiman, Cheryl; Jones, Warren; Klin, Ami; Edwards, Laura A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Infants show shifting patterns of visual engagement to faces over the first years of life. To explore the adaptive implications of this engagement, we collected eye-tracking measures on cross-sectional samples of 10-25-month-old typically developing toddlers (TD;N = 28) and those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD;N = 54). Concurrent language…

Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children with Low Mental Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Miller, Lauren E.; Burke, Jeffrey D.; Robins, Diana L.; Fein, Deborah A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnostic tools are not designed for mental ages (MA) below 12 months. Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) were examined in 2-year-olds with ASD-low MA (n = 53), Global Developmental Delay (GDD; n = 175), and ASD-higher MA (n = 425). ADOS and CARS demonstrated…

Parental First Concerns and Timing of Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Becerra-Culqui, Tracy A.; Lynch, Frances L.; Owen-Smith, Ashli A.; Spitzer, Joseph; Croen, Lisa A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Specific developmental concerns can distinguish between an early versus later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Caregiver survey responses of children = 9 years-of-age (2012) with ASD were used to evaluate developmental concerns and associations with age of diagnosis [early (< 3 years: n = 106) vs. later (= 3 years: n = 432)] using…

Brief Report: What Drives Parental Concerns about Their 18-Month-Olds at Familial Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Karp, Elizabeth A.; Ibañez, Lisa V.; Warren, Zachary; Stone, Wendy L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Parent-reported developmental concerns can be a first step toward further screening and intervention for children at risk for ASD. However, little is known about the extent to which parental well-being and child behavior contribute to parental concerns, especially in families who already have one child with ASD. This study included 54 parents and…

Hogan, Abigail L.; Caravella, Kelly E.; Ezell, Jordan; Rague, Lisa; Hills, Kimberly; Roberts, Jane E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
No studies to date have prospectively examined early autism spectrum disorder (ASD) markers in infants with fragile X syndrome (FXS), who are at elevated risk for ASD. This paper describes the developmental profiles of eight infants with FXS from 9 to 24 months of age. Four meet diagnostic criteria for ASD at 24 months of age, and four do not.…

We integrated multiple behavioural and developmental measures from multiple time-points using machine learning to improve early prediction of individual Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) outcome. We examined Mullen Scales of Early Learning, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, and early ASD symptoms between 8 and 36 months in high-risk siblings (HR; n…

Brief Report: Do Children with Autism Gather Information from Social Contexts to Aid Their Word Learning?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jing, Wei; Fang, Junming – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Typically developing (TD) infants could capitalize on social eye gaze and social contexts to aid word learning. Although children with autism disorder (AD) are known to exhibit atypicality in word learning via social eye gaze, their ability to utilize social contexts for word learning is not well understood. We investigated whether verbal AD…

Steiner, Amanda Mossman; Goldsmith, Tina R.; Snow, Anne V.; Chawarska, Katarzyna – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Recent advances in clinical research have made it possible to diagnosis autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as early as the second year of life.
