Yang, Han-Xue; Zhou, Han-Yu; Zheng, Hong; Wang, Yi; Wang, Yan-Yu; Lui, Simon S. Y.; Chan, Raymond C. K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Interoceptive accuracy has been widely measured using the Heartbeat Tracking Test (HTT). We devised the novel paradigm of Interoception-Exteroception Synchronicity Judgement (IESJ) task to assess participants' interoceptive accuracy, exteroceptive accuracy, and the balancing score which reflected the ability to allocate attentions between…

Ben-Sasson, Ayelet; Gal, Eynat; Fluss, Ronen; Katz-Zetler, Neta; Cermak, Sharon A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This meta-analysis updated evidence regarding sensory over-responsivity (SOR), under-responsivity (SUR) and seeking symptoms in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) relative to typical controls and those with other conditions. Fifty-five questionnaire studies included 4606 individuals with ASD. Moderators tested were age, IQ, male…

Factor, Reina S.; Swain, Deanna M.; Scarpa, Angela – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) report greater stress due to unique parenting demands (e.g.; Estes et al. in "Brain Dev" 35(2):133-138, 2013). Stress is often studied through self-report and has not been extensively studied using physiological measures. This study compared parenting stress in mothers of…

Burrows, Catherine A.; Usher, Lauren V.; Schwartz, Caley B.; Mundy, Peter C.; Henderson, Heather A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study tested the "spectrum hypothesis," which posits that children and adolescents with high functioning autism (HFA) differ "quantitatively" but not "qualitatively" from typically developing peers on self-reported temperament. Temperament refers to early-appearing, relatively stable behavioral and emotional…

Hesselmark, Eva; Eriksson, Jonna M.; Westerlund, Joakim; Bejerot, Susanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Although self-reported measures are frequently used to assess adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), the validity of self-reports is under-researched in ASD. The core symptoms of ASD may negatively affect the psychometric properties of self-reported measures. The aim of the present study was to test the validity and reliability of…

Casenhiser, Devin M.; Binns, Amanda; McGill, Fay; Morderer, Olga; Shanker, Stuart G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
In a report of the effectiveness of MEHRIT, a social-interaction-based intervention for autism, Casenhiser et al. ("Autism" 17(2):220-241, 2013) failed to find a significant advantage for language development in the treatment group using standardized language assessments. We present the results from a re-analysis of their results to…

Ozsivadjian, Ann; Hibberd, Charlotte; Hollocks, Matthew J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
The aims of this study were two-fold; firstly, to investigate whether self-report measures are useful and reflect parent-reported psychiatric symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and secondly, to investigate whether children with ASD are able to access and report their cognitions, a prerequisite skill for cognitive behavior…

Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Thurm, Audrey; Stone, Wendy; Baranek, Grace; Bryson, Susan; Iverson, Jana; Kau, Alice; Klin, Ami; Lord, Cathy; Landa, Rebecca; Rogers, Sally; Sigman, Marian – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2007
Detecting early signs of autism is essential for timely diagnosis and initiation of effective interventions. Several research groups have initiated prospective studies of high-risk populations including infant siblings, to systematically collect data on early signs within a longitudinal design. Despite the potential advantages of prospective…

Wakabayashi, Akio; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Wheelwright, Sally; Tojo, Yoshikuni – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2006
The AQ (Autism-Spectrum Quotient) is a self-administered instrument for measuring the degree to which an adult with normal intelligence has the traits associated with the autistic spectrum. The AQ was administered in Japan to test whether the UK results would generalize to a very different culture. Three groups of subjects, adults with AS or HFA…
