Melanie Labusch; Manuel Perea; Rosa Sahuquillo-Leal; Isabel Bofill-Moscardó; Ángel Carrasco-Tornero; Antonio Cañada-Pérez; Ana García-Blanco – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
A potential underlying mechanism associated with the difficulties in social interactions in Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) concerns the abnormal development of moral reasoning. The present study examined utilitarian and deontological judgments in impersonal and personal moral dilemmas, comparing 66 individuals with ASD and 61 typically…

Wang, Lei; Zheng, Ruixuan; Xu, Ying; Zhou, Ziyun; Guan, Ping; Wu, Yanling; Zhou, Jian; Cheng, Zaohuo; Zhang, Lili – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a serious neurodevelopmental disorder with no clinical biomarker. This study used untargeted metabolomic analysis to identify metabolic characteristics in plasma that can distinguish ASD children. 29 boys with ASD (3.02 ± 0.67 years) and 30 typically developing (TD) boys (3.13 ± 0.46 years) were recruited.…

Bouw, Nienke; Swaab, Hanna; Tartaglia, Nicole; Cordeiro, Lisa; van Rijn, Sophie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Individuals with Sex Chromosome Trisomies (SCT; XXX, XXY, XYY) have an increased vulnerability for developing challenges in social adaptive functioning. The present study investigates social interaction behavior in the context of varying social load, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) symptomatology in young children aged 1-7.5 years old, with SCT…

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…

Kostrubiec, Viviane; Huys, Raoul; Jas, Brunhilde; Kruck, Jeanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Abnormal perceptual-motor coordination is hypothesized here to be involved in social deficits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To test this hypothesis, high functioning children with ASD and typical controls, similar in age as well as verbal and perceptive performance, performed perceptual-motor coordination tasks and several social competence…

Kaartinen, Miia; Puura, Kaija; Helminen, Mika; Salmelin, Raili; Pelkonen, Erja; Juujärvi, Petri – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Twenty-seven boys and eight girls with ASD and thirty-five controls matched for gender, age and total score intelligence were studied to ascertain whether boys and girls with ASD display stronger reactive aggression than boys and girls without ASD. Participants performed a computerized version of the Pulkkinen aggression machine that examines the…

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…

Pedreño, C.; Pousa, E.; Navarro, J. B.; Pàmias, M.; Obiols, J. E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Performance of a group of 35 youth and adults with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) was compared with a typical developing (TD) group on three Advanced Theory of Mind tests. The distinction between the social-cognitive and social-perceptual components of Theory of Mind was also explored. The HFA group had more difficulties in all tasks. Performance…

Schuwerk, Tobias; Sodian, Beate; Paulus, Markus – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Recent research suggests that impaired action prediction is at the core of social interaction deficits in autism spectrum condition (ASC). Here, we targeted two cognitive mechanisms that are thought to underlie the prediction of others' actions: statistical learning and efficiency considerations. We measured proactive eye movements of 10-year-old…

Morgan, Lindee; Leatzow, Allison; Clark, Sarah; Siller, Michael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the efficacy of the interview skills curriculum (ISC), a manualized 12-week group-delivered intervention for young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This intervention aims to increase social-pragmatic skills essential to a successful job interview. Twenty-eight adults (18-36 years) were…

Marini, A.; Ferretti, F.; Chiera, A.; Magni, R.; Adornetti, I.; Nicchiarelli, S.; Vicari, S.; Valeri, G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This brief report is a partial replication of the study by Jackson and Atance ("J Dev Disabil" 14:40-45, 2008) assessing nonverbal Self-based and Mechanical-based future thinking (FT) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In a first step, these tasks were administered to 30 children with ASD. The two Self-based tasks were then…

Chang, Ya-Chih; Shire, Stephanie Y.; Shih, Wendy; Gelfand, Carolyn; Kasari, Connie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Few research-developed early intervention models have been deployed to and tested in real world preschool programs. In this study, teaching staff implemented a social communication modularized intervention, JASPER, in their daily program. Sixty-six preschool children with autism in twelve classrooms (12 teachers) were randomized to receive…

Oswald, Tasha M.; Winter-Messiers, Mary Ann; Gibson, Brandon; Schmidt, Alexandra M.; Herr, Cynthia M.; Solomon, Marjorie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
We hypothesized that the double hit conferred by sex and diagnosis increases the risk for internalizing disorders in adolescent females with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In a sample of 32 adolescents with ASD and 32 controls, we examined the effects of sex, diagnostic factors, and developmental stages on depression and anxiety. A 3-way…

Kirchner, Jennifer; Ruch, Willibald; Dziobek, Isabel – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
In the current study, we assessed character strengths in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 32) and neurotypical controls (n = 32) using the Values in Action Inventory (VIA-IS, Peterson and Seligman 2004) and explored associations with levels of satisfaction with life (SWL). The most frequently endorsed signature strengths (i.e.,…

Ellis Weismer, Susan; Haebig, Eileen; Edwards, Jan; Saffran, Jenny; Venker, Courtney E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study investigated whether vocabulary delays in toddlers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) can be explained by a cognitive style that prioritizes processing of detailed, local features of input over global contextual integration--as claimed by the weak central coherence (WCC) theory. Thirty toddlers with ASD and 30 younger,…
