We investigated autistic children's generalisation of social communication over time across three settings during a play-based assessment with different adults and explore the potential moderating effects on generalisation of age, nonverbal IQ and level of restricted and repetitive behaviours. The social communication abilities of 248 autistic…

Taeyeop Lee; Hyeji Lee; Soowhee Kim; Kee Jeong Park; Joon-Yong An; Hyo-Won Kim – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variations underlying the early neurodevelopmental outcome of developmental disabilities (DDs). The study cohort consisted of 191 children with DDs. Diagnosis was assessed at baseline and at the index age (72-84 months). Exome sequencing was conducted and putative risk variants were identified.…

Casey, S.; Carter, M.; Looney, A. M.; Livingstone, V.; Moloney, G.; O'Keeffe, G. W.; Taylor, R. S.; Kenny, L. C.; McCarthy, F. P.; McCowan, L. M. E.; Thompson, J. M. D.; Murray, D. M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
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…

Evaluation and Management of Reduced Dietary Diversity in Children with Pediatric Feeding Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Van Hoorn, Megan; Feuling, Mary Beth; Allen, Kim; Berry, Rashelle; Brown, Shonda; Sullivan, Christine M.; Goday, Praveen S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Pediatric Feeding Disorder, a common problem in children, is commoner in children with various developmental disorders. Children with pediatric feeding disorder can have food selectivity and lack dietary diversity (DD). In this paper, an understanding of DD in these children is provided along with a dietary diversity index that can be helpful in…

Reciprocal Associations between Language Ability and Social Functioning Development in Pre-Verbal Autistic Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Devon R. Oosting; Mya S. Howard; Alice S. Carter – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Longitudinal research on language abilities and social functioning in young children suggests that gains in one domain affect gains in the other. However, few studies have examined inter-relations of language and social functioning jointly among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Pre-verbal toddlers with ASD are a group…

Development of Moral Judgments in Impersonal and Personal Dilemmas in Autistic Spectrum Disorders from Childhood to Late Adolescence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Melanie Labusch; Manuel Perea; Rosa Sahuquillo-Leal; Isabel Bofill-Moscardó; Ángel Carrasco-Tornero; Antonio Cañada-Pérez; Ana García-Blanco – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
A potential underlying mechanism associated with the difficulties in social interactions in Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) concerns the abnormal development of moral reasoning. The present study examined utilitarian and deontological judgments in impersonal and personal moral dilemmas, comparing 66 individuals with ASD and 61 typically…

Identifying Areas of Overlap and Distinction in Early Lexical Profiles of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Late Talkers, and Typical Talkers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

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…

Do Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Eat Differently and Less Adequately than Those with Subclinical ASD and Typical Development? EPINED Epidemiological Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

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…

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…

The association of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with self-reported maternal cannabis use from 3 months pre-conception to delivery ("peri-pregnancy") was assessed in children aged 30-68 months, born 2003 to 2011. Children with ASD (N = 1428) were compared to children with other developmental delays/disorders (DD, N = 1198) and…

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…

Ellis, Katherine; Lewington, Philippa; Powis, Laurie; Oliver, Chris; Waite, Jane; Heald, Mary; Apperly, Ian; Sandhu, Priya; Crawford, Hayley – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
We delineate the sequence that typically developing infants pass tasks that assess different early social cognitive skills considered precursors to theory-of-mind abilities. We compared this normative sequence to performance on these tasks in a group of autistic (AUT) children. 86 infants were administered seven tasks assessing "intention…
