Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterised by deficits in social interactions and communication, with stereotypical and repetitive behaviours. Recent evidence suggests that maternal immune dysregulation may predispose offspring to ASD. Independent samples t-tests revealed downregulation of IL-17A concentrations in…

Jiménez, Eva; Haebig, Eileen; Hills, Thomas T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study compares the lexical composition of 118 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 12 to 84 months with 4626 vocabulary-matched typically developing toddlers with and without language delay, aged 8 to 30 months. Children with ASD and late talkers showed a weaker noun bias. Additionally, differences were identified in the…

Ferguson, Emily F.; Nahmias, Allison S.; Crabbe, Samantha; Liu, Talia; Mandell, David S.; Parish-Morris, Julia – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who receive early intervention reap developmental benefits, but little is known about characteristics of early intervention placements in the community that optimize individual growth. The extent to which children hear and use language, in particular, may contribute significantly to…

E.; Lee, Li- Ching; Newschaffer, Craig J.; Pinto-Martin, Jennifer A.; Schieve, Laura A.; Sims, Amy; Wiggins, Lisa; Levy, Susan E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) are commonly reported in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This multi-site study evaluated the prevalence of GIS in preschool-aged children with ASD/(n = 672), with other developmental delays (DD)/(n = 938), and children in the general population (POP)/(n = 851). After adjusting for covariates, children…

Canals-Sans, Josefa; Esteban-Figuerola, Patricia; Morales-Hidalgo, Paula; Arija, Victoria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Food consumption in children with ASD, subclinical ASD and with typical development (TD), and their adequacy to dietary recommendations was studied. A school population sample of 77 children with ASD, 40 with subclinical ASD, and 333 with TD participated. Compared to children with TD, pre-schoolers with ASD consumed fewer raw vegetables and less…

Esteban-Figuerola, Patricia; Morales-Hidalgo, Paula; Arija-Val, Victoria; Canals-Sans, Josefa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Overweight and obesity have been reported to be more prevalent in populations with autism spectrum disorder than in children with typical development. The aim of this study was to compare the anthropometric status of children with autism spectrum disorder (diagnosed and subclinical) and children with typical development and analyse which variables…

D'Agostino, Sophia R.; Dueñas, Ana D.; Plavnick, Joshua B. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2020
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often delayed in acquiring social initiation skills utilized during common early childhood activities. A multiple probe design was utilized to assess the efficacy of a shared book reading intervention to increase the independent commenting of three young children with ASD. The intervention resulted…

Chua, Yu Wei; Lu, Szu-Ching; Anzulewicz, Anna; Sobota, Krzystof; Tachtatzis, Christos; Andonovic, Ivan; Rowe, Philip; Delafield-Butt, Jonathan – Developmental Science, 2022
Movement is prospective. It structures self-generated engagement with objects and social partners and is fundamental to children's learning and development. In autistic children, previous reports of differences in movement kinematics compared to neurotypical peers suggest that its prospective organisation might be disrupted. Here, we employed a…

This study examined the trajectories of autistic symptom severity in an inception cohort of 187 children with ASD assessed across four time points from diagnosis to age 10. Trajectory groups were derived using multivariate cluster analysis. A two trajectory/cluster solution was selected. Change in trajectory slopes revealed a "turning…

Lory, Catharine; Kadlaskar, Girija; McNally Keehn, Rebecca; Francis, Alexander L.; Keehn, Brandon – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which can be indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), has been posited to contribute to core features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the relationship between ASD and HRV remains uncertain. We assessed tonic and phasic HRV of 21 children with ASD and 21 age- and IQ-matched typically…

Ketcheson, Leah; Felzer-Kim, Isabella Theresa; Hauck, Janet L. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2021
Purpose: There is a relationship between motor and language skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but little work addresses the ramifications of this relationship for professionals who teach motor skills to this population. Within a motor skills intervention, this study probed the importance of language skills for motor…

Chen, Yun-Ju; Sideris, John; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T. – Child Development, 2022
This prospective study examined the latent growth trajectories of sensory patterns among a North Carolina birth cohort (N = 1517; 49% boys, 87% White) across infancy (6-19 months), preschool (3-4 years), and school years (6-7 years). Change rates of sensory hyper- and hyporesponsiveness better differentiated children with an autism diagnosis or…

National Surveys of Children's Health (NSCH, 2016-2018) data were analyzed to determine if conjoint monitoring and screening showed stronger associations with children under 5 identified with ASD compared to monitoring alone, screening alone or no monitoring or screening; and investigate relationships between monitoring and screening across…

Early intervention has been established as efficacious in addressing developmental delays in young children with autism spectrum disorder. Evidence that caregiver-implemented interventions are feasible and effective for young children with autism spectrum disorder is emerging, yet research suggests there are barriers to enrollment in clinical…

'High functioning autism' is a term often used for individuals with autism spectrum disorder without an intellectual disability. Over time, this term has become synonymous with expectations of greater functional skills and better long-term outcomes, despite contradictory clinical observations. This study investigated the relationship between…
