Tsang, Tawny; Naples, Adam J.; Barney, Erin C.; Xie, Minhang; Bernier, Raphael; Dawson, Geraldine; Dziura, James; Faja, Susan; Jeste, Shafali Spurling; McPartland, James C.; Nelson, Charles A.; Murias, Michael; Seow, Helen; Sugar, Catherine; Webb, Sara J.; Shic, Frederick; Johnson, Scott P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Visual exploration paradigms involving object arrays have been used to examine salience of social stimuli such as faces in ASD. Recent work suggests performance on these paradigms may associate with clinical features of ASD. We evaluate metrics from a visual exploration paradigm in 4-to-11-year-old children with ASD (n = 23; 18 males) and typical…

Christy D. Yoon; Yan Xia; Adriana Kaori Terol; Hedda Meadan; James D. Lee – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
This meta-analysis examined correlations between eye-tracking measures of gaze behaviors manifested during dynamic salient social stimuli and behavioral assessment measures of social communication skills of young autistic children. We employed a multilevel model with random effects to perform three separate meta-analyses for correlation between…

Carey, Meghan E.; Rando, Juliette; Melnyk, Stepan; James, S. Jill; Snyder, Nathaniel; Salafia, Carolyn; Croen, Lisa A.; Fallin, M. Daniele; Hertz-Picciotto, Irva; Volk, Heather; Newschaffer, Craig; Lyall, Kristen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
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…

Jewel Elias Crasta; Olivia J. Green; William J. Gavin; Patricia L. Davies – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study evaluated attention, sensory processing, and social responsiveness and the relationship between these constructs among autistic and neurotypical adults. Participants included 24 autistic adults (17-30 years) and 24 neurotypical peers who completed the Test of Everyday Attention, Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), and the Social…

Jessica Pappagianopoulos; Erica Rouch; Micah O. Mazurek – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Purpose: Internalizing conditions, such as anxiety and depression, and difficulties with developing and maintaining friendships are common among autistic children and adolescents. Participation in extracurricular activities may buffer against these challenges as they provide naturalistic opportunities to bring peers with shared interests and…

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…

Ronit Saban-Bezalel; Esther Ben-Itzchak; Ditza A. Zachor – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: Follow-up studies of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in early childhood that focus on friendship formation during adolescence are scarce. The present study focused on exploring characteristics possibly related to the ability to establish friendships during adolescence among children diagnosed with ASD in…

Amin D. Lotfizadeh; Brendan Gard; Cynthia Rico; Alan Poling; Kristen R. Choi – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Behavior analysts frequently use the Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program (VB-MAPP) to assess the language and social skills of children with autism in everyday practice and in research. Despite the widespread use of the VB-MAPP, its psychometric characteristics have not been extensively investigated. To provide information…

Marisa L. Mylett; Troy Q. Boucher; Nichole E. Scheerer; Grace Iarocci – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The current study examined whether social competence and autistic traits are related to anxiety and depression in autistic and non-autistic children. Parents of 340 children aged 6 to 12 years old, including 186 autistic and 154 non-autistic children completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) to assess their child's autistic traits, the…

Baez, Adriana C.; Dajani, Dina R.; Voorhies, Willa; Parladé, Meaghan V.; Alessandri, Michael; Britton, Jennifer C.; Llabre, Maria M.; Uddin, Lucina Q. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Executive function (EF), the set of cognitive processes that govern goal-directed behavior, varies within developmental samples and clinical populations. Here, we perform a conceptual replication of prior work (Dajani et al. in Sci Rep 6:36566, 2016) in an independent sample of typically developing children (n = 183) and children with autism…

Reliably diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adulthood poses a challenge to clinicians due to the absence of specific diagnostic markers. This study investigated the potential of interpersonal synchrony (IPS), which has been found to be reduced in ASD, to augment the diagnostic process. IPS was objectively assessed in videos…

Zappullo, Isa; Senese, Vincenzo Paolo; Milo, Rosa; Positano, Monica; Cecere, Roberta; Raimo, Gennaro; Conson, Massimiliano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Inconsistent data are available on mental rotation performance in neurotypicals with high autistic-like traits. Here, we tested whether global-local visual processing abilities mediate the influence of specific autistic-like trait domains (social skill, attention switching, attention-to-detail, communication, and imagination) on mental rotation.…

Blume, Jessica; Wittke, Kacie; Naigles, Letitia; Mastergeorge, Ann M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present with a broad range of spoken language abilities, as well as delays in precursor skills such as gesture production and joint attention skills. While standardized assessments describe language strengths, the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS-DP) is a particularly robust…

Markiewicz, Katarzyna; Kaczmarek, Bozydar L. J.; Filipiak, Sara – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The study aimed to identify the mediating role of emotional intelligence and social competences in the relationship between gender and broad autism phenotype (BAP) as well as between age and BAP. It comprised 85 parents of children with ASD. They completed the questionnaires of Autism-Spectrum Quotient, social competences, and emotional…

Levinson, Sarah; Eisenhower, Abbey; Bush, Hillary Hurst; Carter, Alice S.; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The language and social skill deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) warrant further study. Existing research has focused on the contributions of pragmatic language to social skills, with little attention to other aspects of language. We examined the associations across three language domains (semantics, syntax, and pragmatics)…
