Ágústa Á. Arnardóttir; Laufey Á. Guðmundsdóttir; Dagmar Kr. Hannesdóttir; Freyr Halldórsson; Helga Auðardóttir; Berglind Sveinbjörnsdóttir – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: Social skills difficulties among children on the autism spectrum can impede social, emotional, and academic development, especially with increasing age and social demands. This pilot study examined the efficacy of a 5-week skill-building program for children on the autism spectrum. Although effective social skills programs are available…

Zijie Ma; Wangqian Fu; Peidi Gu; He Siting; Yang Liujing; Wei Zhou – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study examined parental perception of the importance of friendship and five other educational outcomes from 101 Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorders between the ages of 3 and 12 years. Results showed Chinese parents considered friendship less important than social skills, emotional development, and physical skills and…

Vinen, Zoe; Clark, Megan; Dissanayake, Cheryl – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The school-age outcomes of autistic children who received early interventions (EI) remains limited. Adaptive functioning, social, peer play skills, problem behaviours, and attitudes towards school of 31 autistic children who received community-based group early start Denver model (G-ESDM) were compared to 28 age matched autistic children who…

Purpose: The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is a group-based social skills training program for adolescents on the autism spectrum. Although the program has been shown to be effective in improving social skills in autistic adolescents, evidence of its effectiveness from the Mandarin-speaking Chinese…

Chester, Monica; Richdale, Amanda L.; McGillivray, Jane – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Despite widespread clinical use of group-based social skills training (SST) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there remains a lack of follow-up data, generalisation effects, common definition of social skills, and teacher report data. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an 8-week SST intervention with a play component…

Yu, Lu; Zhu, Xiaoqin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
A SCERTS model-based intervention with different durations (5-month vs. 10-month) was provided to 122 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (age = 53.43 ± 9.05 months) in Hong Kong. Before and after the intervention, the children were assessed with the Chinese Psychoeducational Profile-Third Edition (CPEP-3) and the Developmental Assessment…

Berkovits, Lauren; Eisenhower, Abbey; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
There has been little research connecting underlying emotion processes (e.g., emotion regulation) to frequent behavior problems in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examined the stability of emotion regulation and its relationship with other aspects of child functioning. Participants included 108 children with ASD,…

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.,…

Antezana, Ligia; Mosner, Maya G.; Troiani, Vanessa; Yerys, Benjamin E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
In typical development there is a bias to orient visual attention to social information. Children with ASD do not reliably demonstrate this bias, and the role of attention orienting has not been well studied. We examined attention orienting via the inhibition of return (IOR) mechanism in a spatial cueing task using social-emotional cues; we…

Lordo, Danielle N.; Bertolin, Madison; Sudikoff, Eliana L.; Keith, Cierra; Braddock, Barbara; Kaufman, David A. S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
The current study examined the effectiveness of a social skills treatment (PEERS) for improving socio-emotional competencies in a sample of high-functioning adolescents with ASD. Neuropsychological and self- and parent-report measures assessing social, emotional, and behavioral functioning were administered before and after treatment. Following…

Tracy, Jessica L.; Robins, Richard W.; Schriber, Roberta A.; Solomon, Marjorie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
Researchers have argued that individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) use an effortful "systematizing" process to recognize emotion expressions, whereas typically developing (TD) individuals use a more holistic process. If this is the case, individuals with ASDs should show slower and less efficient emotion recognition, particularly for…

Lopata, Christopher; Thomeer, Marcus L.; Volker, Martin A.; Toomey, Jennifer A.; Nida, Robert E.; Lee, Gloria K.; Smerbeck, Audrey M.; Rodgers, Jonathan D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
This RCT examined the efficacy of a manualized social intervention for children with HFASDs. Participants were randomly assigned to treatment or wait-list conditions. Treatment included instruction and therapeutic activities targeting social skills, face-emotion recognition, interest expansion, and interpretation of non-literal language. A…

Schwartz, Caley B.; Henderson, Heather A.; Inge, Anne P.; Zahka, Nicole E.; Coman, Drew C.; Kojkowski, Nicole M.; Hileman, Camilla M.; Mundy, Peter C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
Variation in temperament is characteristic of all people but is rarely studied as a predictor of individual differences among individuals with autism. Relative to a matched comparison sample, adolescents with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) reported lower levels of Surgency and higher levels of Negative Affectivity. Variability in temperament…

Burnette, Courtney P.; Mundy, Peter C.; Meyer, Jessica A.; Sutton, Steven K.; Vaughan, Amy E.; Charak, David – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
Recent theory and research suggests that weak central coherence, a specific perceptual-cognitive style, underlies the central disturbance in autism. This study sought to provide a test of the weak central coherence hypothesis. In addition, this study explored the relations between the weak central coherence hypothesis, theory of mind skills, and…

Bachevalier, Jocelyne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996
Research on humans and monkeys is reviewed that supports the view that the medial temporal lobe, and, perhaps more specifically the amygdala, is the neural substrate underlying social deficits in autism. The relationship of early medial temporal lobe lesions to memory and socioemotional behavior is reviewed, as are the roles of the amygdala and…
