Both anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are associated with atypical physiological activity. Few studies have systematically assessed the resting physiological activity in ASD with co-occurring anxiety disorders. We tested 75 participants divided in four groups: youth with ASD, with (ASD + Anxiety = 22, 6F, 12.29 ± 2.83 years old) and…

Stockall, Nancy; Blackwell, William – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2022
Students with ASD frequently experience anxiety disorders as a co-occurring condition (Kent and Simonoff in Anxiety Child Adolesc Autism Spectr Disord. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-805122-1.00002-8, 2017). Symptoms related to anxiety disorders affect students with ASD in a variety of domains, including academic performance, inclusion…

Espelöer, J.; Hellmich, M.; Vogeley, K.; Falter-Wagner, C. M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study differentially examined the relation between two clinical constructs: "social anxiety" and "social competence" in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Employing two questionnaires (SASKO; IU), individuals with ASD (n = 23) showed increased scores of SOCIAL ANXIETY (SASKO) and of INTOLERANCE OF UNCERTAINTY (IU), compared…

Capriola-Hall, Nicole N.; McFayden, Tyler; Ollendick, Thomas H.; White, Susan W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is commonly comorbid with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here, in a sample of 86 children and adolescents (M[subscript AGE] = 12.62 years; 68.6% male), 28 of whom were diagnosed with ASD, 34 with SAD, and 24 with comorbid ASD and SAD, we compared parent-reported scores from the Social Responsiveness Scale-Second…

Nimmo-Smith, Victoria; Heuvelman, Hein; Dalman, Christina; Lundberg, Michael; Idring, Selma; Carpenter, Peter; Magnusson, Cecilia; Rai, Dheeraj – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Anxiety is common in children with ASD; however, the burden of specific anxiety disorders for adults with ASD is under-researched. Using the Stockholm Youth Cohort, we compared anxiety disorder diagnoses among autistic adults (n = 4049), with or without intellectual disability, and population controls (n = 217,645). We conducted additional sibling…

Bitsika, Vicki; Heyne, David A.; Sharpley, Christopher F. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The experience of being bullied is widespread among autistic youth. Relatively little empirical work has been done on the relationship between the bullying of these youth and school refusal (SR). This study of 67 school-age autistic boys (M = 11.7 years, SD = 2.3 years) examined several factors that may contribute to SR. Data regarding boys' age,…

Taylor, Emily C.; Livingston, Lucy A.; Callan, Mitchell J.; Ashwin, Chris; Shah, Punit – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with atypical autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. However, little is known about this relationship, while accounting for co-occurring mental health conditions (e.g. anxiety) that are also associated with ANS dysfunction. In addition, research on the ANS has typically involved physiological…

Ollendick, Thomas; Muskett, Ashley; Radtke, Sarah R.; Smith, Isaac – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Anxiety disorders are among the most common co-occurring disorders for individuals with ASD. Several adaptations to cognitive behavioral approaches have been proposed for this population (Moree & Davis, 2010). The current study examined feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an ASD-specific adaptation of one-session treatment (OST) for…

Storch, Eric A.; Wood, Jeffrey J.; Guzick, Andrew G.; Small, Brent J.; Kerns, Connor M.; Ordaz, D. Luis; Schneider, Sophie C.; Kendall, Philip C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Anxiety/obsessive-compulsive disorders are common among youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Two versions of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) are effective, with some advantage for a personalized, adapted version. This study evaluated predictors and moderators of standard CBT and adapted CBT. Youth (N = 167) ages 7-13 were randomized to…

Barnett, Alana; Edwards, Katie; Harper, Rebecca; Evans, Elizabeth; Alexander, Derina; Choudhary, Mohini; Richards, Gareth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Previous studies have reported positive correlations between autistic traits and disordered eating, though it is unclear whether the association is moderated by sex/gender or whether it is independent of anxiety or depression. We present the findings of an online survey of 691 participants who completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), Hospital…

Bitsika, Vicki; Sharpley, Chris; Heyne, David – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
Autistic youth bullied at school are at risk for school refusal (SR), which may grow from emerging SR (ESR). SR and ESR have been associated with social phobia and separation anxiety among neurotypical youth but these associations have not been studied among autistic youth. The associations between both types of anxiety and in a sample of 71…

Failla, Michelle D.; Schwartz, Kyle L.; Chaganti, Shikha; Cutting, Laurie E.; Landman, Bennett A.; Cascio, Carissa J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder experience a significant number of co-occurring medical conditions, yet little is known about these conditions beyond prevalence. Using large-scale de-identified medical records, we can use a novel phecode-based tool to characterize co-occurring conditions in autism spectrum disorder. We hypothesized that…

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that reduces obsessive-compulsive symptoms. There is limited evidence supporting its efficacy for repetitive behaviors (RRBs) in autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of fluoxetine in 158 individuals with ASD (5-17 years). Following 14…

Driscoll, Katherine; Schonberg, Michael; Stark, Melanie Farkas; Carter, Alice S.; Hirshfeld-Becker, Dina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
To address the paucity of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols available to treat anxiety in preschoolers with ASD, we piloted a family-centered CBT protocol in a series of 16 children aged 3-7 years with ASD and anxiety disorders and explored its feasibility and efficacy. Children were assessed at baseline, post-treatment (PT), and…

Conner, Caitlin M.; White, Susan W.; Scahill, Lawrence; Mazefsky, Carla A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Youth with autism spectrum disorder are at elevated risk for impaired emotion regulation and clinically impairing anxiety. A prior developmental framework posited that impaired emotion regulation leads to co-occurring psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, with outcome determined in part by autism spectrum disorder-specific moderating factors.…
