The Intersection of Systemic, Child, and Evaluation Factors in the Prediction of Autism Special Education Eligibility; Examining the Role of Race and Ethnicity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kelsey Young; Bryn Harris; Jennifer Hall-Lande; Amy Esler – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Though there is evidence autism identification has been inequitable for populations who are culturally and linguistically minoritized, there is limited research that explains the issue of disproportionality and factors contributing to its occurrence, especially within an educational setting. To explore contributors to racial/ethnic disparities in…

Liliana Wagner; Alison Vehorn; Amy S. Weitlauf; Ambar Munoz Lavanderos; Joshua Wade; Laura Corona; Zachary Warren – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
The wait for ASD evaluation dramatically increases with age, with wait times of a year or more common as children reach preschool. Even when appointments become available, families from traditionally underserved groups struggle to access care. Addressing care disparities requires designing identification tools and processes specifically for and…

Morgan L. McNair; Victoria Mondejar; Erin J. Libsack; Nicole H. Mordekai; Clark McKown; Nicole M. Russo-Ponsaran; Matthew D. Lerner – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Social problem solving (SPS) represents a social cognitive reasoning process that gives way to behavior when individuals are navigating challenging social situations. Autistic individuals have been shown to struggle with specific aspects of SPS, which, in turn, has been related to social difficulties in children. However, no previous work has…

Assessing the Contribution of Measures of Attention and Executive Function to Diagnosis of ADHD or Autism
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Kelsey Harkness; Signe Bray; Chelsea M. Durber; Deborah Dewey; Kara Murias – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Attention and executive function (EF) dysregulation are common in a number of disorders including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Better understanding of the relationship between indirect and direct measures of attention and EF and common neurodevelopmental diagnoses may contribute to more efficient and effective…

Assessing Intelligence at Autism Diagnosis: Mission Impossible? Testability and Cognitive Profile of Autistic Preschoolers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Courchesne, Valérie; Girard, Dominique; Jacques, Claudine; Soulières, Isabelle – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Intelligence in minimally verbal children on the autism spectrum (AS) is at risk of being underestimated. The present study investigated testability and cognitive profile of preschool autistic children using conventional tools and strength-informed tools. Fifty-two AS children and fifty-four typical children matched on age (31-77 months) were…

Harlee Onovbiona; Lauren Quetsch; Emily-Anne Del Rosario – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
The goal of the present study was to compare profiles among Black families of autistic youth who were identified Early ([less than or equal to] 2 years of age), Mid (age 3 or 4), and Delayed ([greater than or equal to] 5 years of age) to better identify the characteristics that contribute to early ASD identification and delayed ASD identification.…

Diagnostic Utility of the ADI-R and DSM-5 in the Assessment of Latino Children and Adolescents
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Magaña, Sandy; Vanegas, Sandra B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Latino children in the US are systematically underdiagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); therefore, it is important that recent changes to the diagnostic process do not exacerbate this pattern of under-identification. Previous research has found that the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) algorithm, based on the Diagnostic and…

de Bildt, Annelies; Oosterling, Iris J.; van Lang, Natasja D. J.; Sytema, Sjoerd; Minderaa, Ruud B.; van Engeland, Herman; Roos, Sascha; Buitelaar, Jan K.; van der Gaag, Rutger-Jan; de Jonge, Maretha V. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
The validity of the calibrated severity scores on the ADOS as reported by Gotham et al. (J Autism Dev Disord 39: 693-705, "2009"), was investigated in an independent sample of 1248 Dutch children with 1455 ADOS administrations (modules 1, 2 and 3). The greater comparability between ADOS administrations at different times, ages and in…

Using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale to Diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chlebowski, Colby; Green, James A.; Barton, Marianne L.; Fein, Deborah – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
This study investigated the childhood autism rating scale (CARS) as a tool for ASD diagnoses for 2-year-old (n = 376) and 4-year-old (n = 230) children referred for possible autism. The cut-off score to distinguish autistic disorder from PDD-NOS was 32 in the 2-year-old sample (consistent with Lord in "J Child Psychol Psychiatry Allied…

A Review of the Diagnostic Methods Reported in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Waller, Stacey A.; Armstrong, Kevin J.; McGrath, Ann M.; Sullivan, Cristin L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1999
This review summarizes subject selection and diagnostic procedures documented in 142 empirical articles published between 1993 and 1997. Although most researchers reported use of standard diagnostic criteria in classifying subjects, numerous studies did not report diagnostic methods and there was often a lack of specification of inclusion and…

Carter, Alice S.; Volkmar, Fred R.; Sparrow, Sara S.; Wang, Jing-Jen; Lord, Catherine; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1998
A study of 684 individuals yielded special population norms on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales for individuals with autism for mute children under 10, children with some verbal skills under 10, mute individuals who are 10 or older, and individuals with some verbal skills who are 10 or older.

Lord, Catherine; Pickles, Andrew; McLennan, John; Rutter, Michael; Bregman, Joel; Folstein, Susan; Fombonne, Eric; Leboyer, Marion; Minshew, Nancy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
A study of 319 individuals with autism (ages 3-43) and 113 other subjects found that a single set of criteria, as operationalized by individually structured questions in the Autism Diagnostic Interview and Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised, was effective in differentiating autism from mental disabilities and language impairment.

Validation of the Revised Behavior Summarized Evaluation Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barthelemy, C.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
A French study of 136 children (ages 20-139 months) with developmental disabilities investigated the reliability and validity of the Revised Behavior Summarized Evaluation Scale (BSE-R) in evaluating autistic behavior in children with developmental delays.
