Kerr-Gaffney, Jess; Mason, Luke; Jones, Emily; Hayward, Hannah; Harrison, Amy; Murphy, Declan; Tchanturia, Kate – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with difficulties in social and emotional functioning. A significant proportion of individuals with AN show autistic traits, which may influence social attention. This study examined attention to faces and facial features in AN, recovered AN (REC), and healthy controls, as well as relationships with comorbid…

Feller, Clémence; Dubois, Charlotte; Eliez, Stephan; Schneider, Maude – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Episodic future thinking (EFT) has been suggested to underlie anticipatory pleasure (AP), itself known to play a crucial role in social functioning (SF). Both AP and SF are impaired in various clinical populations, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). Therefore, the relationship between EFT, AP and SF…

Simões, Marco; Mouga, Susana; Pereira, Andreia C.; de Carvalho, Paulo; Oliveira, Guiomar; Castelo-Branco, Miguel – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Interpersonal distance (IPD) is a simple social regulation metric which is altered in autism. We performed a stop-distance paradigm to evaluate IPD regulation in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and control groups in a real versus a virtual environment mimicking in detail the real one. We found a bimodal pattern of IPDs only in ASD. Both groups…

Wylie, Korey P.; Tregellas, Jason R.; Bear, Joshua J.; Legget, Kristina T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The neurobiology of autism spectrum disorder remains poorly understood. The present study addresses this knowledge gap by examining the relationship between functional brain connectivity and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) scores using publicly available data from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) database (N = 107).…

Lazzaro, Stephanie C.; Weidinger, Laura; Cooper, Rose A.; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Moutsiana, Christina; Sharot, Tali – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Humans are extremely susceptible to social influence. Here, we examine whether this susceptibility is altered in autism, a condition characterized by social difficulties. Autistic participants (N = 22) and neurotypical controls (N = 22) completed a memory test of previously seen words and were then exposed to answers supposedly given by four other…

Lampi, Andrew; Fitzpatrick, Paula; Romero, Veronica; Amaral, Joseph; Schmidt, R. C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The social and motor context in which restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) occur in autism and their relationship to social traits are not well-understood. Participants with and without autism completed tasks that varied in social and motor engagement and RRB frequency was measured. Motor and verbal RRBs were most common, RRBs varied based…

Wink, Logan K.; Reisinger, Debra L.; Horn, Paul; Shaffer, Rebecca C.; O'Brien, Kaela; Schmitt, Lauren; Dominick, Kelli R.; Pedapati, Ernest V.; Erickson, Craig A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Dysregulation of glutamate neurotransmission plays a critical role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) pathophysiology and is a primary target for core deficit research treatment trials. The mechanism of action of ketamine has striking overlap with the theory of ASD as a disorder of synaptic communication and neuronal networks. This two-dose,…

Zukerman, Gil; Yahav, Gili; Ben-Itzchak, Esther – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The gap between cognitive ability and adaptive behavior has been thought to enhance psychopathology among people with autism, particularly among those without intellectual disability. We examined this association by exploring the gap between cognitive understanding of social behavior and socially adaptive behavior, and its impact on social anxiety…

Tarver, Joanne; Vitoratou, Silia; Mastroianni, Mathilde; Heaney, Natalie; Bennett, Eleanor; Gibbons, Felicity; Fiori, Federico; Absoud, Michael; Ramasubramanian, Lakshmi; Simonoff, Emily; Santosh, Paramala – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Although 70% of autistic children and young people meet criteria for co-occurring psychiatric conditions, there are few screening measures specifically for autistic individuals. We describe the development and validation of the Assessment of Concerning Behavior (ACB), an instrument co-developed with the autistic community to assess mental health…

Northrup, Jessie B.; Leezenbaum, Nina B.; Campbell, Susan B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Social engagement, pretend play, and concern for another's distress represent fundamental features of typical social-emotional development in the second year. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display delays and deficits in these areas, and research on toddlers at heightened risk for ASD (HR; younger siblings of children with ASD)…

Morrisey, Marcus Neil; Reed, Catherine L.; McIntosh, Daniel N.; Rutherford, M. D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Human actions induce attentional orienting toward the target of the action. We examined the influence of action cueing in social (man throwing toward a human) and non-social (man throwing toward a tree) contexts in observers with and without autism spectrum condition (ASC). Results suggested that a social interaction enhanced the cueing effect for…

Schuwerk, Tobias; Kaltefleiter, Larissa J.; Au, Jiew-Quay; Hoesl, Axel; Stachl, Clemens – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Theories derived from lab-based research emphasize the importance of mentalizing for social interaction and propose a link between mentalizing, autistic traits, and social behavior. We tested these assumptions in everyday life. Via smartphone-based experience sampling and logging of smartphone usage behavior we quantified mentalizing and social…

Elias, Rebecca; White, Susan W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Social motivation in individuals with ASD is inferred from the observation of overt behaviors and neurological correlates. Motivation, however, can be distinguishable from overt behavior and neurologic reactivity. Nevertheless, few studies have examined the cognitive processes that may influence goal-directed tasks involved in social interaction.…

Nobili, Anna; Glazebrook, Cris; Bouman, Walter Pierre; Glidden, Derek; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Allison, Carrie; Smith, Paula; Arcelus, Jon – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The present study aimed to compare prevalence of autistic traits measured by the self-reported autism spectrum quotient-short (AQ-short) in a transgender clinical population (n = 656) matched by age and sex assigned at birth to a cisgender community sample. Results showed that transgender and cisgender people reported similar levels of possible…

A paucity of research has been conducted to examine the effect of social skills intervention on females with ASD. Females with ASD may have more difficulty developing meaningful friendships than males, as the social climate can be more complex (Archer, Coyne, "Personality and Social Psychology Review" 9(3):212-230, 2005). This study…
