There is a dearth of research into the experience of adult diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, and targeted research is needed to understand the needs of these adults. The aim of this coproduced review was to assess existing qualitative data on the lived experience of receiving an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, identify recurring themes,…

We examined relationships between measures of adaptive behavior, cognitive ability, and autism symptom severity in 1458 preschool-aged children with autism from the Study to Explore Early Development. While publications commonly describe autistic children as "low-" or "high-functioning" based on cognitive ability, relying…

Deepika Jain; Kawaljit Singh Multani; Anjali Dodiya; Urva Benani; Anand Iyer – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Adaptive behavior is paramount for independent living and is varyingly impaired in different neurodevelopmental disorders. This study aimed to investigate differences in adaptive behavior between children with autism spectrum disorder and social communication disorder, two conditions characterized by deficits in social communication. Data from 232…

H. Jones – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Autistic individuals experience higher rates of externalising and internalising symptoms that may vary with environmental factors. However, there is limited research on variation across settings that may highlight common factors with globally generalisable effects. Data were taken from two cohorts: a multinational European sample (n = 764; 453…

Ellen Wilkinson; Cristan Farmer; Evan Kleiman; Vanessa H. Bal – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
The commonly used Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS-3) divides adaptive behavior into three domains comprising three subdomains. The validity of this three-factor structure has not been explored in autistic samples, which are often heterogeneous with respect to language and IQ. Furthermore, although there are two comparable forms,…

Lee, Chung eun; Burke, Meghan M.; DaWalt, Leann Smith; Li, Chak; Taylor, Julie Lounds – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face challenges accessing needed services as they transition to adulthood. Correlates of service access identified in the literature--such as family resources, race/ethnicity, or youth functioning--can be difficult to change and may not be feasible targets for intervention. This study focused on a…

Cook, Julia; Crane, Laura; Hull, Laura; Bourne, Laura; Mandy, William – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Autistic people may camouflage their innate autistic social behaviours to adapt to, cope within and/or influence the predominately neurotypical social landscape. This study describes behaviours exhibited, altered or avoided by autistic adults whilst camouflaging (i.e. camouflaging behaviours). Using Interpersonal Process Recall methodology, 17…

Lacroix, Adeline; Dutheil, Frédéric; Logemann, Alexander; Cserjesi, Renata; Peyrin, Carole; Biro, Brigi; Gomot, Marie; Mermillod, Martial – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Considering the mixed nature of reports of flexibility difficulties in autism, we hypothesized that a task that more closely resembles the challenges faced in real life would help to assess these difficulties. Autistic and typically developing adults performed an online Emotional Shifting Task, involving non-explicit unpredictable shifts of…

Bundy, Rebecca; Mandy, Will; Crane, Laura; Belcher, Hannah; Bourne, Laura; Brede, Janina; Hull, Laura; Brinkert, Jana; Cook, Julia – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
We used mixed methods to learn about the nature and drivers of mental health changes among autistic adults in the United Kingdom during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. In quantitative analyses, we examined the nature and predictors of change in depression, anxiety and stress, prospectively measured in 70 autistic adults at Wave 1 (just…

Autistic children's play provides insights into social, communication, and other skills; however, methods for measuring these observations can be labor-intensive and rely on subjective judgment. This study explored whether children's movement and location during play measured via automated video tracking correlates with clinical features. Movement…

Shui, Amy M.; Lampinen, Linnea A.; Richdale, Amanda; Katz, Terry – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Sleep problems are common in autistic children and adversely impact daytime functioning. Knowledge of predictive factors could help with treatment and prevention of these problems. This study aimed to determine predictors of sleep problems among young autistic children. Study cohorts consisted of autistic children aged 2-5 years who did not have…

Evers, Kris; Gijbels, Eef; Maljaars, Jarymke; Rumball, Freya; Spain, Debbie; Happé, Francesca; Noens, Ilse – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autistic individuals are at particular risk of experiencing mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet little is known about personal characteristics that may underlie this vulnerability. This longitudinal questionnaire study with 149 autistic and 147 non-autistic adults investigated the association between perceived stress and…

Matthews, Nicole L.; Christenson, Kyla; Kiefer, Sarah; Smith, Christopher J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined adaptive functioning, strategies used to develop adaptive functioning skills, and areas where additional services could benefit autistic young adults without intellectual disability. Participants were 21 autistic young adults and at least one parent of each young adult. Quantitative analyses replicated previous reports of an…

Although it has been found that autistic children exhibit delays in executive function abilities and atypical patterns of attention, less is known about the relationship between executive function and attention abilities and social and language skills in early childhood. In this study, 180 autistic children, age 2-8 years, participated in a study…

Controlled studies examining canine therapy in autism spectrum disorder are scarce. This study examined the effectiveness of a "Dog Training Intervention" on adaptive skills, autism severity, and anxiety using a controlled crossover design. Seventy-three participants diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (M[subscript age] = 4:10 ± 1:0)…
