This study investigates mothers' and siblings' perspectives regarding similarities and differences in siblingships with and without autism. Twenty-nine typical children (M[subscript age] = 8.78 years, SD = 2.05) whose younger siblings have a diagnosis of autism and their mothers constituted the 'autism group.' Forty-six typical children…

Yonat Rum; Ofer Golan; Carrie Allison; Paula Smith; Simon R. White; Simon Baron-Cohen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study examined whether autistic people with siblings score higher on measures of empathy than those without siblings. Cohorts of autistic children (n = 939; mean age = 7.35 years (SD = 2.15)) and autistic adults (n = 736; mean age = 37 years (SD = 12.39)) from the Cambridge Autism Research Database (CARD) were each divided into two groups:…

Yitik Tonkaz, Gülsüm; Esin, Ibrahim Selçuk; Turan, Bahadir; Uslu, Hakan; Dursun, Onur Burak – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Leaky gut hypothesis is one of the well-known theory which tries to explain etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Unfortunately there is still a gap of evidence to investigate the corner points of the hypothesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of leaky gut in children with ASD, their siblings and healthy controls.…

We examined associations between prenatal oxidative stress (OS) and child autism-related outcomes. Women with an autistic child were followed through a subsequent pregnancy and that younger sibling's childhood. Associations between glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), 8-oxo-deoxyguanine (8-OHdG), and nitrotyrosine and younger sibling…

Rixon, Louise; Hastings, Richard P.; Kovshoff, Hanna; Bailey, Tom – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
We tested a novel methodological approach to examine associations between characteristics of autistic children and outcomes for siblings. Cluster analysis was used to define five groups of children with autism (n = 168) based on autism symptoms, adaptive behavior, pro-social behavior, and behavior problems. Primary and secondary parent carers, and…

Linn Andersson Konke; Terje Falck-Ytter; Emily J. H. Jones; Amy Goodwin; Karin Brocki – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The purpose of the current study was to use the infant sibling design to explore whether proband traits of autism and ADHD could provide information about their infant sibling's temperament. This could help us to gain information about the extent to which infant temperament traits are differentially associated with autism and ADHD traits. We used…

Lafont, Charlotte; Panjo, Henri; Michelon, Cécile; Falissard, Bruno; Speranza, Mario; Picot, Marie-Christine; Baghdadli, Amaria; Rouquette, Alexandra – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in mainstream schools has a positive impact on their social and daily living behaviors. Our objective was to identify clinical and socio-demographic variables promoting or limiting inclusion in mainstream school through childhood and adolescence. The EpiTED study is a long-term,…

Brinkman, Aurora H.; Barry, Tammy D.; Lindsey, Rebecca A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience greater stress, expressed emotion (EE), and affiliate stigma than caregivers of children without ASD. Siblings of children with ASD often experience greater negative functioning than siblings of individuals without ASD. The current study found significant interrelations among…

de Veld, Danielle M. J.; Scheeren, Anke M.; Howlin, Patricia; Hoddenbach, Elske; Mulder, Fleur; Wolf, Imke; Begeer, Sander – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This RCT investigated whether participants' sibling configuration moderated the effect of a Theory of Mind (ToM) intervention for children with autism. Children with autism aged 8-13 years (n = 141) were randomized over a waitlist control or treatment condition. Both having more siblings, as well as having an older sibling were related to better…

Tudor, Megan E.; Rankin, James; Lerner, Matthew D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The potential clinical needs of typically developing (TD) siblings of youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain disputed. A total of 239 mothers of youth aged 6-17, including one youth with ASD (M = 11.14 years; simplex families) and at least one other youth (M = 11.74 years) completed online standardized measures of various familial…

Early differences in sensory responsiveness may contribute to difficulties with communication among autistic children; however, this theory has not been longitudinally assessed in infants at increased familial versus general population-level likelihood for autism (Sibs-autism vs. Sibs-NA) using a comprehensive battery of sensory responsiveness and…

Bontinck, Chloè; Warreyn, Petra; Demurie, Ellen; Bruyneel, Eva; Boterberg, Sofie; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study compared sibling interactions between 24-month-old children and their older sibling with ASD (high-risk; n = 24) with 24-month-old children and their typically developing older sibling (low-risk; n = 32). First, high-risk sibling pairs showed lower levels of positive behaviour and younger siblings of children with ASD imitated their…

Fell, Lucy; Goshe, Brett; Traeger, Lara; Perez, Giselle; Iannuzzi, Dorothea; Park, Elyse; Kuhlthau, Karen; Luberto, Christina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Teenage siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at risk of worse mental health outcomes than their peers, yet there have been few interventions focused on improving their psychosocial wellbeing. This study explored the acceptability of an 8-session virtual group mind-body resiliency intervention for teen siblings of children…

Berends, Daniel; Dissanayake, Cheryl; Lawson, Lauren P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Previous research has found multiplex (MPX) children have an advantage in cognition compared to simplex (SPX) children. However, MPX parent's previous experience with older diagnosed siblings has not been considered. We used a large database sample to investigate the MPX advantage and contribution of birth order. Children from the Autism Genetic…

Greenslade, Kathryn J.; Utter, Elizabeth A.; Landa, Rebecca J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Little empirical evidence exists about school-age pragmatic communication or predictors in siblings at heightened familial risk for ASD (HR) and low-risk (LR) controls. The "Pragmatic Rating Scale-School-Age" (Landa unpublished) was scored for 49 HR siblings and 18 LR controls at 8-12 years. Social-communication and language measures…
