Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Selda Ozdemir; Isik Akin-Bulbul; Erol Yildiz – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Impairments in joint attention are considered core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are crucial for early assessment and intervention. However, existing information about visual attention during joint attention and its relation to developmental functioning is limited. The current study investigated the visual attention differences…

Clark, Megan L. E.; Barbaro, Josephine; Dissanayake, Cheryl – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
This paper charted the cognitive and behavioural profiles from toddlerhood to middle childhood in 48 children diagnosed with ASD at 24 months. The Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) was administered at 24- and 48-months and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) at school age. Autism severity was derived using The Autism…

C.; Zander, E.; Charman, T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Research on sex-related differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been impeded by small samples. We pooled 28 datasets from 18 sites across nine European countries to examine sex differences in the ASD phenotype on the ADI-R (376 females, 1763 males) and ADOS (233 females, 1187 males). On the ADI-R, early childhood restricted and…

Inhibitory Function in Nonretarded Children with Autism.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ozonoff, Sally; Strayer, David L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
This study examined inhibitory function in 13 nonretarded children with autism and 13 normally developing controls. Tasks measuring motor and cognitive components were administered to both groups. Results suggest that at least two components of inhibition are spared in individuals with autism, standing in contrast to flexibility and other…

Brief Report: Planning Problems in Autism at the Level of Motor Control.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hughes, Claire – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996
Subjects with autism (n=36) were assigned a simple "reach, grasp, and place" task. Comparison with nonautistic children who had mental retardation and younger normally developing children found that the autistic subjects had problems in executing goal-directed motor acts even in very simple situations, suggesting an independent and marked…

Empirically Derived Subclassification of the Autistic Syndrome.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Siegel, Bryna; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1986
A method for empirical classification of autistic and autisticlike children, based on behavior observations of 35 males and 11 females (ages 4-28 years) was examined. Factor and cluster analysis indicated four subtypes, characterized by perseverative thinking and play, motor disturbances, schizotypal/schizoid features, and anxiety and negativism.…
