Jordan Klein; Connor Kerns; Kimberly Hills; Abigail Hogan; Sara Matherly; Jane Roberts – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Autistic individuals are twice as likely to meet criteria for anxiety than neurotypical children; yet we lack understanding of early presentations of anxiety in young autistic children, especially those with cognitive impairment. This study is the first to utilize an autism-specific anxiety diagnostic interview with 28 preschool cognitively…

Ferrari, Elisabetta; Butti, Niccolò; Gagliardi, Chiara; Romaniello, Romina; Borgatti, Renato; Urgesi, Cosimo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
According to current accounts of social cognition, the emergence of verbal and non-verbal components of social perception might rely on the acquisition of different cognitive abilities. These components might be differently sensitive to the pattern of neuropsychological impairments in congenital neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we explored the…

Children with ASD are more likely to be involved in bullying compared to typically developing peers; however, studies rarely examine bullying perpetration and the contributing factors among this population. The primary aim of this study was to examine the extent to which parent-reported ASD symptoms, social skills, and comorbid externalizing and…

Hand, Brittany N.; Benevides, Teal W.; Carretta, Henry J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Suicidality is significantly more common in autistic adults than the general population, yet the factors that increase risk for suicidality among autistic adults remain largely unknown. We identified characteristics associated with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts/self-inflicted injury in a U.S. national sample of Medicare-enrolled autistic…

The Animal in Me: Enhancing Emotion Recognition in Adolescents with Autism Using Animal Filters
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cross, Liam; Farha, Myles; Atherton, Gray – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
People with autism are often characterized as having difficulties with theory of mind abilities such as emotion recognition. However, rather than being a pervasive deficit of 'mindblindness,' a number of studies suggests these difficulties vary by context, and when people with autism mindread non-human agents, such as animals or cartoons, these…

Crawford, Hayley; Karakatsani, Efthalia; Singla, Gursharan; Oliver, Chris – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Self-injurious and aggressive behaviors are common in fragile X syndrome (FXS). However, little is known about the persistence of these behaviors and associated risk markers. We established the prevalence and persistence of self-injurious and aggressive behaviors over eight years in males with FXS, and associations with risk markers. Results…

Ezell, Jordan; Hogan, Abigail; Fairchild, Amanda; Hills, Kimberly; Klusek, Jessica; Abbeduto, Leonard; Roberts, Jane – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Anxiety disorders affect ~ 15-20% of youths without neurodevelopmental disorders, with persons having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and fragile X syndrome (FXS) at elevated risk for anxiety disorders. Few studies have compared rates and predictors of anxiety disorders in adolescents with FXS or ASD. This study directly compares rates, predictors,…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hinnebusch, Alexander J.; Miller, Lauren E.; Fein, Deborah A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Some children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) exhibit low mental age (Low-MA; i.e., cognitive functioning below 12 months). We examined diagnosis, symptom severity, and development in children with ASD-low MA (n = 25), autistic disorder (n = 111), and PDD-NOS (n = 82) at ages two and four. We predicted that some ASD-low MA children would…
