Barger, Brian D.; Campbell, Jonathan M.; McDonough, Jaimi D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
Rates and onset of regression were meta-analyzed from 85 articles representing 29,035 participants with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Overall prevalence rate for regression was 32.1, 95% CI [29.5, 34.8] occurring at mean of 1.78 years, 95% CI [1.67, 1.89]. Regression prevalence rates differed according to four types of regression: language…

Wang, Shin-Yi; Parrila, Rauno; Cui, Ying – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
This meta-analysis used hierarchical linear modeling to examine 115 single-case studies with 343 participants that examined the effectiveness of social skills interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The average effect size of the included studies was 1.40 (SD = 0.43, 95% CL = 1.32-1.48, N = 115). In the further, several…
