Oxidative stress has been proposed as being important in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and heightened levels of oxidative stress has found in children with ASD. Our aim was to investigate, whether this change is temporary or persist into adulthood. We included 89 adult patients with ASD and sex and age matched controls.…

DiCriscio, Antoinette Sabatino; Troiani, Vanessa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The current study examined the relationship between quantitative measures of reward and punishment sensitivity, features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and resting and functional pupil response metrics across a clinically heterogeneous sample. Scores on a parent-report measure of punishment and reward sensitivity were correlated with ASD…

Corbett, Blythe A.; Muscatello, Rachael A.; Horrocks, Briana K.; Klemencic, Mark E.; Tanguturi, Yasas – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Adolescence is a time of exceptional physical health juxtaposed against significant psychosocial and weight-related problems. The study included 241, 10-to-13-year-old youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, N = 138) or typical development (TD, N = 103). Standardized exams measured pubertal development, height (HT), weight (WT), heart rate (HR),…

Condy, Emma E.; Scarpa, Angela; Friedman, Bruce H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
In addition to social communication deficits, restricted repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are a key diagnostic feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in ASD has been posited as a mechanism of RRBs; however, most studies investigating ANS activity in ASD have focused on its relation to social…

Niemczyk, Justine; Fischer, Roman; Wagner, Catharina; Burau, Alina; Link, Theresa; von Gontard, Alexander – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Incontinence, psychological symptoms, parental stress and psychopathology were examined in 51 children (43 boys, mean age = 9.7 years) presented in an outpatient clinic for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and in 53 matched controls (43 boys, mean age = 10.2 years). All children were clinically assessed for ASD, incontinence and psychopathology…

Hollocks, Matthew J.; Pickles, Andrew; Howlin, Patricia; Simonoff, Emily – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a high prevalence (~40 %) of anxiety disorders compared to their non-ASD peers. It is unclear whether cognitive and biological processes associated with anxiety in ASD are analogous to anxiety in typically developing (TD) populations. In this study 55 boys with ASD (34 with a co-occurring…
