The heterogeneous nature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) makes accurate diagnosis challenging. Best practice assessments in schools can open pathways to appropriate interventions and educational placements for those with ASD, as well as help identify a student's strengths. There are various tools used in school settings to assess autism. In this…

Snijder, Michelle I. J.; Langerak, Ilse P. C.; Kaijadoe, Shireen P. T.; Buruma, Marrit E.; Verschuur, Rianne; Dietz, Claudine; Buitelaar, Jan K.; Oosterling, Iris J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Whereas it is well documented how parents experience the diagnostic process of their child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), less is known about parental experiences with the course of the early identification process and first steps in receiving care for their child with ASD symptoms. This mixed-method study investigated these experiences as…

Pistoljevic, Nirvana; Dzanko, Eldin; Ghaziuddin, Mohammad – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The aim of this preliminary study was to identify the practice patterns and potential barriers to diagnosing autism in Bosnia & Herzegovina. 126 children aged 23 to 94 months with developmental concerns referred to treatment centers participated in the study. Although parents had reported developmental problems in their children usually around…

Saulnier, Celine A.; Klaiman, Cheryl – Psychology in the Schools, 2022
Adaptive behavior skills are often delayed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and these behaviors are significantly associated with poor outcomes in adulthood, especially for autistic individuals that have no cognitive and/or language delays. Therefore, despite having the capacity to be self-sufficient, the vast majority of autistic adults fail to…

Hickey, Emily; Sheldrick, R. Christopher; Kuhn, Jocelyn; Broder-Fingert, Sarabeth – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
In 2016, the US Preventive Services Task Force concluded that there was "insufficient" ("I" statement) evidence to support universal primary care screening for autism spectrum disorder. The statement led to controversy among research and clinical communities. Although a number of papers have since been published arguing for the…

Williams, Marian E.; Harley, Eliza K.; Quebles, Irina; Poulsen, Marie Kanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder can be reliably diagnosed prior to age 2, and early, intensive intervention has been found to improve long-term outcomes. Nonetheless, most children with ASD do not receive a diagnosis until after age 3, with even later diagnoses for children from non-white ethnic groups. This study conducted telephone surveys with…

Most children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in resource-limited settings (RLS), are diagnosed after the age of four. Our work confirmed and extended results of Pierce that eye tracking could discriminate between typically developing (TD) children and those with ASD. We demonstrated the initial 15 s was at least as discriminating as the…

Incremental Utility of 24-Month Autism Spectrum Disorder Screening after Negative 18-Month Screening
Dai, Yael G.; Miller, Lauren E.; Ramsey, Riane K.; Robins, Diana L.; Fein, Deborah A.; Dumont-Mathieu, Thyde – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) screening at 18 and 24 months. However, utility of rescreening at 24 months, after a negative 18-month screening, remains unknown. We identified cases of ASD detected at 24 months after a negative 18-month screening (i.e., Catch-24 group; n = 10) and compared them to…

Hill, Trenesha L.; White, Tiffany C.; Anthony, Bruno J.; Reaven, Judy; Harris, Bryn; Reyes, Nuri; Anthony, Laura G. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
There is often a large time gap between caregivers' initial concerns and the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. The current study aimed to identify factors associated with missed or delayed autism spectrum disorder diagnoses among children in Colorado. In a surveillance-based sample of 8-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (N=572),…

Zuckerman, Katharine E.; Broder-Fingert, Sarabeth; Sheldrick, R. Christopher – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends autism spectrum disorder screening at the 18- and 24-month well-child visits. However, despite widespread toddler screening, many children are not diagnosed until school age, and delayed diagnosis is more common among low-income and minority children. Offering autism spectrum disorder screening at…

Safer-Lichtenstein, Jonathan; Reardon, Kyle; McIntyre, Laura Lee – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2021
Special education service delivery may vary, in part, by geographic location of the school districts. This variation may be especially important to understand for students who require comprehensive evaluations and specialized services, such as students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Much of the existing literature focuses on geographic…

This paper examines age of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) identification and related factors in a diverse urban sample, focusing on ASD identification in the East African Somali community. The overall average age of initial ASD identification was 4.8 years. Somali children received an initial clinical diagnosis of Autistic Disorder later than…

Background: In recent reviews of autism spectrum disorder screening tools, the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-Up (M-CHAT-R/FTM) has been recommended for use in lower middle-income countries to promote earlier identification. Aim: The study aim was to culturally adapt and translate the M-CHAT-R/FTM into Northern…

This research explores early years practitioners' knowledge and ability to recognise the signs of autism and provide appropriate support. It was carried out using semi-structured interviews with six UK-based early years practitioners who have worked with children with autism. The findings highlighted that early years practitioners are aware of…

Mash, Lisa E.; Klein, Raymond M.; Townsend, Jeanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Attentional impairments are among the earliest identifiable features of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Three attention networks have been extensively studied using the attention network test (ANT), but this long and repetitive task may pose challenges for individuals with ASDs. The AttentionTrip was developed as a more engaging measure of…
