Xiaoxue Fu; Emma Platt; Frederick Shic; Jessica Bradshaw – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: The study aimed to compare eye tracking (ET) and manual coding (MC) measures of attention to social and nonsocial information in infants with elevated familial likelihood (EL) of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and low likelihood of ASD (LL). ET provides a temporally and spatially sensitive tool for measuring gaze allocation. Existing…

Reindal, Lise; Naerland, Terje; Weidle, Bernhard; Lydersen, Stian; Andreassen, Ole A.; Sund, Anne Mari – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Pragmatic language impairments are common in neurodevelopmental disorders, especially in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The relationship between structural language skills and pragmatic competence in children with autistic symptoms, however, is largely unknown. We investigated this relationship based on the Children's Communication Checklist-2…

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…

Bryant, Lauren K.; Woynaroski, Tiffany G.; Wallace, Mark T.; Cascio, Carissa J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Atypical responses to tactile stimulation have been linked to core domains of dysfunction in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and phenotypic traits associated with ASD in neurotypical individuals. We investigated (a) the extent to which two psychophysically derived measures of tactile sensitivity--detection threshold and dynamic…

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…

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…

Moss, Philippa; Mandy, William; Howlin, Patricia – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
The WHO Quality of Life-Brief questionnaire was used to assess quality of life (QoL) among 52 adults with autism (mean age 49 years) followed-up since childhood. Overall, assessments of QOL were more positive than measures of objective social outcome (jobs, independence, relationships etc.) but correlations between caregiver and self-reports were…

Helt, Molly S.; Fein, Deborah A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Both social input and facial feedback appear to be processed differently by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We tested the effects of both of these types of input on laughter in children with ASD. Sensitivity to facial feedback was tested in 43 children with ASD, aged 8-14 years, and 43 typically developing children matched for…

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…

Fujiwara, Takeo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
The association between family socioeconomic status (SES) and the suspected autism spectrum disorder (ASD) status of 18-month-old toddlers was investigated using a population-based sample in Japan, which has a universal healthcare system and a mandatory health checkup system for toddlers. Questionnaires including SES measurements and modified…

Spek, Annelies A.; Scholte, Evert M.; Van Berckelaer-Onnes, Ina A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
Local information processing in 42 adults with high functioning autism, 41 adults with Asperger syndrome and 41 neurotypical adults was examined. Contrary to our expectations, the disorder groups did not outperform the neurotypical group in the neuropsychological measures of local information processing. In line with our hypotheses, the…

Storch, Eric A.; Wood, Jeffrey J.; Ehrenreich-May, Jill; Jones, Anna M.; Park, Jennifer M.; Lewin, Adam B.; Murphy, Tanya K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
The psychometric properties of the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS), a clinician-administered measure for assessing severity of anxiety symptoms, were examined in 72 children and adolescents diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The internal consistency of the PARS was 0.59, suggesting that the items were related but not…

Semrud-Clikeman, Margaret; Walkowiak, Jenifer; Wilkinson, Alison; Butcher, Brianne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
The purpose of the study was to evaluate neuropsychological and behavioral rating measures of executive functions (EF) in children with two subtypes of ADHD, Asperger syndrome (AS), and controls. Relative to the control group, the clinical groups experienced more difficulty in EF. The AS group showed the most difficulty in emotional control,…

Carr, Edward G.; Owen-DeSchryver, Jamie S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2007
There is growing interest in the role that physical illness and pain might play in exacerbating problem behavior in individuals with developmental disabilities. Assessment of these factors, however, is often difficult since many individuals have minimal verbal communication skills. In response to this difficulty, we developed a sequential method…
