Damien Wright; Aisling Kenny; Lindsay A. M. Mizen; Andrew G. McKechanie; Andrew C. Stanfield – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
This study aimed to describe the behavioral profile of individuals with SYNGAP1-ID. Parents/carers of 30 individuals aged 3-18 years old with a diagnosis of SYNGAP1-ID and 21 typically developing individuals completed the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Scale and the Child Behavior Checklist. We found that those with SYNGAP1-ID showed fewer adaptive…

Parents of autistic children report barriers to engaging in physical activity, which may be exacerbated during subsequent pregnancies. We aimed to describe physical activity of parents caring for an autistic child, before and during a subsequent pregnancy, and to explore whether physical activity was associated with the autistic child's Social…

Paulina Buffle; Cristina Armijos; Alfredo Naranjo; Edouard Gentaz – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Identification procedures for autism spectrum disorders in paediatric settings include screening and routine clinical surveillance. Screening tools are perceived as challenging, and a preference for direct observation has been reported in Ecuadorian paediatric settings. Augmentative observational procedures could prompt the application of…

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…

Children with autism spectrum disorder are prescribed various medications to address behavior and mood. In clinical trials, individuals taking concomitant psychotropic medications often are excluded to maintain homogeneity and prevent contamination of clinical endpoints. However, this choice may compromise the representativeness of the sample. In…

Duncan, Amie; Liddle, Melissa; Adams, Ryan – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
For individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) daily living skills (DLS) fall below chronological age and have been linked to factors such as language. Given the impact of DLS on daily life, it is critical to gain a comprehensive understanding of DLS profiles in children to guide effective treatment. Using a large dataset from the Autism…

Moore, Heather L.; Couteur, Ann Le; Charman, Tony; Green, Jonathan; Parr, Jeremy R.; Grahame, Victoria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Adaptive functioning of autistic children is traditionally measured through informant-report, often from parents. Behaviour varies across settings though, and context-specific reports should be considered. Limited and inconsistent results show low parent-education professional concordance, but no research has yet explored item level response…

Richards, Melissa N.; Putnick, Diane L.; Bradley, Laura P.; Lang, Kyle M.; Little, Todd D.; Suwalsky, Joan T. D.; Bornstein, Marc H. – Applied Developmental Science, 2022
Play during childhood is essential to growth and learning. Little is known about whether categories of toys moderate play behaviors at different ages, or how children interact with toys that are simple, appropriate, or complex for their developmental level. Two hundred and forty-three children between the ages of 1 and 8 years, divided into four…

Guthrie, Whitney; Wetherby, Amy M.; Woods, Juliann; Schatschneider, Christopher; Holland, Renee D.; Morgan, Lindee; Lord, Catherine E. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Robust evidence supports the efficacy of early autism intervention. Despite broad consensus that earlier intervention leads to better outcomes, evidence for this has been limited to correlational studies. This study examined timing effects of the Early Social Interaction (ESI) model, a parent-implemented intervention, using a complete crossover…

This study investigated the prevalence, and the developmental, behavior and emotional outcomes of 675 preschoolers with ASD with or without a history of regression, who participated in the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED). The SEED project is a cross-sectional case-control study that collected data between 2007 and 2011. Children's…

Lindly, Olivia J.; Shui, Amy M.; Stotts, Noa M.; Kuhlthau, Karen A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Elevated caregiver strain is common and linked to poor health in parents of children with autism. Yet, little research has examined caregiver strain longitudinally and in geographically diverse samples of parents whose children have autism. This study aimed to (1) examine change in caregiver strain and (2) determine correlates of improved…

This study examined connections between parental quality of life (QoL) and features of children (autism severity, cognitive ability, behavioral profile, and sociodemographic factors). Parents of 97 children attending an autism-specific preschool completed the Quality of Life in Autism, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and Child Behavior…

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…
