Tsang, Tawny; Naples, Adam J.; Barney, Erin C.; Xie, Minhang; Bernier, Raphael; Dawson, Geraldine; Dziura, James; Faja, Susan; Jeste, Shafali Spurling; McPartland, James C.; Nelson, Charles A.; Murias, Michael; Seow, Helen; Sugar, Catherine; Webb, Sara J.; Shic, Frederick; Johnson, Scott P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Visual exploration paradigms involving object arrays have been used to examine salience of social stimuli such as faces in ASD. Recent work suggests performance on these paradigms may associate with clinical features of ASD. We evaluate metrics from a visual exploration paradigm in 4-to-11-year-old children with ASD (n = 23; 18 males) and typical…

Cora E. Mukerji; John S. Wilson III; Carol L. Wilkinson; Manon A. Krol; Charles A. Nelson; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Previous research links resting frontal gamma power to key developmental outcomes in young neurotypical (NT) children and infants at risk for language impairment. However, it remains unclear whether gamma power is specifically associated with language or with more general cognitive abilities among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum…

Valeri, Giovanni; Casula, Laura; Napoli, Eleonora; Stievano, Paolo; Trimarco, Barbara; Vicari, Stefano; Scalisi, Teresa Gloria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
A novel battery (BAFE; Valeri et al. 2015) was used in order to assess three executive function (EF) abilities (working memory, inhibition and shifting) in a sample of 27 intellectually able preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared with 27 typically developing children matched on age and nonverbal IQ. Differences in EF skills were…

Brayette, Maëva; Saliba, Elie; Malvy, Joëlle; Blanc, Romuald; Ponson, Laura; Tripi, Gabriele; Roux, Sylvie; Bonnet-Brilhault, Frédérique – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Extreme prematurity is known as a risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the association between prematurity and ASD, for children born moderately and late preterm (MLPT) and those born early term (ET), is less established. This retrospective study aimed to characterize the phenotypic characteristics (i.e. behavioral profile and…

Laura del Hoyo Soriano; Audra Sterling; Jamie Edgin; Debra R. Hamilton; Elizabeth Berry-Kravis; Amanda Dimachkie Nunnally; Angela John Thurman; Leonard Abbeduto – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study explores sex-differences in (a) rates and profiles of autism symptoms as well as in (b) the contribution of intellectual quotient (IQ) to autism symptom presentation in Down syndrome (DS). Participants were 40 males and 38 females with DS, aged 6 to 23 years. Autism symptoms were rated through the Autism Diagnostic Observation…

Mason, Lauren A.; Zimiga, Brandon M.; Anders-Jefferson, Regina; Paap, Kenneth R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Are Autism Quotient (AQ) scores related to executive functioning (EF)? We sampled 200 students of normal intelligence and examined the relationship between AQ scores and: (a) 5 self-ratings of EF, (b) 5 performance-based measures of EF, and (c) 5 types of activities or experiences that are assumed to recruit EF and sometimes enhance EF. Our…

Berloco Bianca; Guerrera Silvia; Fucà Elisa; Menghini Deny; Valeri Giovanni; Nobili Lino; Vicari Stefano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Insomnia is one of the most common co-occurring disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this cross-sectional cohort study of 270 children with ASD was to assess the prevalence of insomnia using the Pediatric Sleep Clinical Global Impression Scale and to correlate sleep problems with cognitive level, adaptive…

This study characterizes the subcortical auditory brainstem response (speech-ABR) and cortical auditory processing (P1 and Mismatch Negativity; MMN) to speech sounds and their relationship to autistic traits and sensory features within the same group of autistic children (n = 10) matched on age and non-verbal IQ to their typically developing (TD)…

Zappullo, Isa; Senese, Vincenzo Paolo; Milo, Rosa; Positano, Monica; Cecere, Roberta; Raimo, Gennaro; Conson, Massimiliano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Inconsistent data are available on mental rotation performance in neurotypicals with high autistic-like traits. Here, we tested whether global-local visual processing abilities mediate the influence of specific autistic-like trait domains (social skill, attention switching, attention-to-detail, communication, and imagination) on mental rotation.…

Williams, Diane L.; Siegel, Matthew; Mazefsky, Carla A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Data from the Autism Inpatient Collection was used to examine the relationship between problem behaviors and verbal ability, which have generally, though not universally, been highly associated. In a comparison of 169 minimally-verbal and 177 fluently-verbal 4 to 20-year-old psychiatric inpatients with ASD, the severity of self-injurious behavior,…

Calhoun, Susan L.; Pearl, Amanda M.; Fernandez-Mendoza, Julio; Durica, Krina C.; Mayes, Susan D.; Murray, Michael J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Sleep disturbances (SD) are prevalent in individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Less is known about the effects of SD on cognition and learning in adolescents with high-functioning ASD (HF-ASD). Adolescents with HF-ASD (N = 96) were evaluated for the relationships of SD to working memory and learning problems. Results found SD…

Soh, Chui Pin; Goh, Tze Jui; Magiati, Iliana; Sung, Min – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Identifying and measuring anxiety in young people on the autism spectrum can be challenging. The present study investigated the use of the Anxiety Scale for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC-ASD), a self- and caregiver-rated screening tool in a Singaporean sample of ninety-one verbal autistic youths and their caregivers. Internal…

Hansen, John A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Assessment of individuals on the autism spectrum often includes a measure of nonverbal IQ. One such measure is the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM). For large research studies with participants distributed nationally it is desirable for assessments to be available online. Because time is a premium, it is ideal that the measure produces…

Albein-Urios, Natalia; Youssef, George J.; Kirkovski, Melissa; Enticott, Peter G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Deficits in cognitive flexibility are thought to underpin the core symptom of repetitive and restricted patterns of behaviour in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies investigating this relationship, however, report inconsistent results. This is partly due to the variable nature of measures used to assess the construct of flexibility. The main…

Fernandes, Lucrecia Cabral; Gillberg, Carina I.; Cederlund, Mats; Hagberg, Bibbi; Gillberg, Christopher; Billstedt, Eva – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
The literature concerning sexuality in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is limited regarding inappropriate sexual behaviours and paraphilias and its relation to age, verbal ability, symptom severity, intellectual ability, or adaptive functioning. A cohort of 184 adolescents and young adults (ages 15-39 years) with ASD diagnosed in childhood,…
