Marisa L. Mylett; Troy Q. Boucher; Nichole E. Scheerer; Grace Iarocci – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The current study examined whether social competence and autistic traits are related to anxiety and depression in autistic and non-autistic children. Parents of 340 children aged 6 to 12 years old, including 186 autistic and 154 non-autistic children completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) to assess their child's autistic traits, the…

Préfontaine, Isabelle; Morizot, Julien; Lanovaz, Marc J.; Rivard, Mélina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Despite showing effects in well-controlled studies, the extent to which early intensive behavioral intervention (EBI) produces positive changes in community-based settings remains uncertain. Thus, our study examined changes in autistic symptoms and adaptive functioning in 233 children with autism receiving EBI in a community setting. The results…

Lee, Kwangwon; Schertz, Hannah H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The relationship between turn taking (i.e., back-and-forth preverbal communicative exchanges) and joint attention has not been studied in interactions between children with autism and caregivers. In joint attention, a form of preverbal social communication, young children socially share attention with a partner about objects, a competency that is…

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…

Condy, Emma E.; Factor, Reina S.; Swain, Deanna M.; Strege, Marlene V.; Scarpa, Angela – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is proposed to index cognitive and behavioral inflexibility. Broad autism phenotype (BAP) traits are prevalent in family members of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study investigated whether RSA and BAP traits in mothers of typically developing (TD) children and mothers of children with ASD…

Abel, Emily A.; Schwichtenberg, A. J.; Brodhead, Matthew T.; Christ, Sharon L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study examined the associations between sleep and challenging behaviors for average and night-to-night fluctuations in sleep, in 39 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) receiving intensive behavioral intervention (IBI). Child sleep was recorded (via actigraphy) for five nights in conjunction with clinician-reported observations of…

Levinson, Sarah; Eisenhower, Abbey; Bush, Hillary Hurst; Carter, Alice S.; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The language and social skill deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) warrant further study. Existing research has focused on the contributions of pragmatic language to social skills, with little attention to other aspects of language. We examined the associations across three language domains (semantics, syntax, and pragmatics)…

We examined the relationship between initial parenting stress and change in parental responsivity for 56 culturally and socioeconomically diverse families in a 12 week randomized control trial of Pathways Early ASD Intervention. Families were randomized into the Pathways (n = 32) or treatment-as-usual (TAU n = 24) group. Overall, Pathways parents…

Roux, Anne M.; Rast, Jessica E.; Anderson, Kristy A.; Garfield, Tamara; Shattuck, Paul T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
U.S. policy interventions encourage earlier provision of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services to support students and youth with disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the transition from school to work. We analyzed Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA-911) data using multivariable logistic regression to determine the…

Elizabeth G. S. Munsell; Gael I. Orsmond; Daniel Fulford; Wendy J. Coster – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Social communication and executive functioning challenges as well as co-occurring anxiety/depression may make acquiring the skills needed to manage daily life tasks difficult for diploma-track autistic youth, thus limiting their participation in adult roles. This study describes the associations between executive function, social communication…

Hawks, Zoë; Constantino, John N.; Weichselbaum, Claire; Marrus, Natasha – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Motor impairment is common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, as such, a potential target for interventions to improve adaptive functioning. This study investigated motor skill acquisition in children with ASD (n = 15, 12 males; ages 7-16 years) during iCan Bike Camp, a 1-week, community-based intervention (5 × 75-min sessions) to teach…

Thomas, S.; Hinkley, T.; Barnett, L. M.; May, T.; Rinehart, N. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Primary-school-aged children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are reported to engage in lower levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) compared to typically developing (TD) children (Jones et al. in PLoS ONE, 12(2):1-23, 2017). Levels of MVPA in young children with ASD remain unclear. This study aimed to…

Kumazaki, Hirokazu; Kikuchi, Mitsuru; Yoshimura, Yuko; Miyao, Masutomo; Okada, Ken-ichi; Mimura, Masaru; Minabe, Yoshio – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Understanding the nature of olfactory abnormalities is crucial for optimal interventions in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, previous studies that have investigated odor identification in children with ASD have produced inconsistent results. The ability to correctly identify an odor relies heavily on visual inputs in the…
