Teh, Elizabeth J.; Vijayakumar, Ranjith; Tan, Timothy Xing Jun; Yap, Melvin J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Studies have reported that physical exercise reduces maladaptive stereotyped motor behaviours (SMB) in children with ASD, but these intervention studies vary in design and outcome. The present systematic review and meta-analysis included 22 studies, involving 274 children with ASD, to quantify the effect of exercise on SMB and its potential…

Verbal Ability, Behavior Problems, and Mother-Child Relationship Quality in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Lorang, Emily; Hong, Jinkuk; Song, Jieun; DaWalt, Leann Smith; Mailick, Marsha – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study examined differences in mother-child relationship quality and parent-rated child behavior problems based on child verbal status (i.e., minimally verbal versus verbal) in mothers and their adolescent and adult children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 219 dyads; child M[subscript age] = 25.38 years, SD = 10.22). Relationship quality…

Cissne, Mackenzie N.; Kester, Lindsay E.; Gunn, Amanda J. Moffitt; Bodner, Kimberly E.; Miles, Judith H.; Christ, Shawn E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The present study evaluated the hypothesis that the strength of the relationship between executive function (EF) and repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (RBRI) symptomatology is moderated by the degree to which concurrent demands are placed on multiple aspects of EF. An eye movement task was used to evaluate inhibition and task switching…

Colvert, Emma; Simonoff, Emily; Capp, Simone J.; Ronald, Angelica; Bolton, Patrick; Happé, Francesca – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
There is increasing concern regarding additional psychiatric problems that co-occur with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as reflected in recent changes to diagnostic schemes. However, there remains little research with population-based samples across childhood. We report on additional problems, as measured by the Strengths and Difficulties…

Bodfish, James W.; Lecavalier, Luc; Harrop, Clare; Dallman, Aaron; Kalburgi, Sahana Nagabhushan; Hollway, Jill; Faldowski, Richard; Boyd, Brian A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
For individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), behavioral inflexibility can affect multiple domains of functioning and family life. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a clinical interview version of the Behavioral Inflexibility Scale. Trained interviewers conducted interviews with parents of 144 children with ASD and 70…

Frasch, Martin G.; Shen, Chao; Wu, Hau-Tieng; Mueller, Alexander; Neuhaus, Emily; Bernier, Raphael A.; Kamara, Dana; Beauchaine, Theodore P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Several studies show altered heart rate variability (HRV) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but findings are neither universal nor specific to ASD. We apply a set of linear and nonlinear HRV measures--including phase rectified signal averaging--to segments of resting ECG data collected from school-age children with ASD, age-matched typically…

E.; Lee, Li- Ching; Newschaffer, Craig J.; Pinto-Martin, Jennifer A.; Schieve, Laura A.; Sims, Amy; Wiggins, Lisa; Levy, Susan E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) are commonly reported in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This multi-site study evaluated the prevalence of GIS in preschool-aged children with ASD/(n = 672), with other developmental delays (DD)/(n = 938), and children in the general population (POP)/(n = 851). After adjusting for covariates, children…

Nogay, Nalan Hakime; Walton, Jennifer; Roberts, Kristen M.; Nahikian-Nelms, Marcia; Witwer, Andrea N. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Some research suggests that GI symptoms seen in children with ASD may relate to behavior problems. The objective of this pilot study was to assess the effect of the low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet on GI and behavioral problems in children with ASD. At follow-up, the low FODMAP diet group…

Breider, Simone; Hoekstra, Pieter J.; Wardenaar, Klaas J.; van den Hoofdakker, Barbara J.; Dietrich, Andrea; de Bildt, Annelies – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We studied the association of early-life environmental and child factors with disruptive behaviors in children with autistic traits around age 7, in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (n = 6,401). Logistic regression with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator indicated that disruptive behaviors were associated with…

Smith, C. G.; Jones, E. J. H.; Wass, S. V.; Pasco, G.; Johnson, M. H.; Charman, T.; Wan, M. W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Internalising problems are common within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); early intervention to support those with emerging signs may be warranted. One promising signal lies in how individual differences in temperament are shaped by parenting. Our longitudinal study of infants with and without an older sibling with ASD investigated how parenting…

Vasa, Roma A.; Singh, Vini; McDonald, Rachel G.; Mazefsky, Carla; Hong, Ji Su; Keefer, Amy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Research indicates that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit dysregulation, which refers to poorly coordinated affective, behavioral, and cognitive responses to a given situation. We examined the characteristics of dysregulation in children presenting to a multidisciplinary ASD clinic for an ASD diagnostic evaluation.…

Kurtz, Patricia F.; Strohmeier, Craig W.; Becraft, Jessica L.; Chin, Michelle D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
When individuals with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities exhibit severe problem behavior, assessment and treatment are often warranted. Parents of such individuals are at high risk for developing parenting stress. In this study, 194 parents completed the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form at their child's time of admission to…

Gandhi, Anusha; Zhou, Dihong; Alaimo, Joseph; Chon, Edwin; Fountain, Michael D.; Elsea, Sarah H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Caregivers of preschool and elementary school age children with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), MBD5-associated neurodevelopmental disorder (MAND), and Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) were surveyed to assess sleep disturbance and to identify disorder-specific sleep problems. Because of overlapping features of these rare genetic neurodevelopmental…

Lin, Yun-Nung; Iao, Lai-Sang; Lee, Yu-Han; Wu, Chin-Chin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This longitudinal study examined the transactional relations between parenting stress and both internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) over 1.5 years using a cross-lagged panel analysis. Participants included 75 young children with ASD (Time 1; mean age = 25.68 months) and their…

Nadeau, Monica V.; Richard, Emily; Wallace, Gregory L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Based on parent questionnaires, we demonstrate the presence of an eating pattern among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by both food selectivity and eating in the absence of hunger. Children with ASD were categorized as engaging in eating patterns of selective overeating, selective eating only, overeating only, or…
