Sensory Processing and Executive Functioning in Autistic Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Michelle Kiep; Annelies Spek; Eva Ceulemans; Ilse Noens – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: One of the core features that can be experienced by adults on the autism spectrum is hyper- and hyporeactivity to sensory stimuli. Research suggests that executive functioning (EF) impairments are related to sensory issues. In this study the relationship between sensory processing issues and EF was investigated. We expected sensory…

Gloria Mittmann; Beate Schrank; Verena Steiner-Hofbauer – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: The prevalence of autism diagnoses has increased in recent years. The portrayal of autistic characters in mainstream media, such as TV series, may be a contributing factor. This study investigated whether young adults who consume media featuring autistic characters are more likely to self-diagnose with autism. Methods: 348 participants…

Resting Frontal Gamma Power Is Associated with Both Expressive Language and Non-Verbal Cognitive Abilities in Young Autistic Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cora E. Mukerji; John S. Wilson III; Carol L. Wilkinson; Manon A. Krol; Charles A. Nelson; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Previous research links resting frontal gamma power to key developmental outcomes in young neurotypical (NT) children and infants at risk for language impairment. However, it remains unclear whether gamma power is specifically associated with language or with more general cognitive abilities among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum…

School Social Capital Mediates Associations between ASD Traits and Depression among Adolescents in General Population
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mori, Hiroyuki; Hirota, Tomoya; Monden, Rei; Takahashi, Michio; Adachi, Masaki; Nakamura, Kazuhiko – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Though autism spectrum disorder (ASD) traits are associated with depression, it is unclear if school social capital mediates their association. We examined whether school social capital mediates the association between ASD traits and depression, and moderation effect of sex on the mediation effect among adolescents in a general population sample…

Structural and Pragmatic Language Impairments in Children Evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Reindal, Lise; Naerland, Terje; Weidle, Bernhard; Lydersen, Stian; Andreassen, Ole A.; Sund, Anne Mari – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Pragmatic language impairments are common in neurodevelopmental disorders, especially in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The relationship between structural language skills and pragmatic competence in children with autistic symptoms, however, is largely unknown. We investigated this relationship based on the Children's Communication Checklist-2…

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…

Lee, Shirley H. F.; Aziz, Syahiirah Abd; Hamid, Mawarni; Lim, Ya Chee; Koh, David; Chaw, Li Ling – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Background: Despite the global increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), relevant research studies are lacking in Brunei Darussalam. Various studies have shown a significant association between a lowered 2D:4D ratio (ratio of second digit/index finger to the fourth digit/ring finger) and ASD, making it one of the potential…

The Association between Autistic Traits and Disordered Eating Is Moderated by Sex/Gender and Independent of Anxiety and Depression
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Barnett, Alana; Edwards, Katie; Harper, Rebecca; Evans, Elizabeth; Alexander, Derina; Choudhary, Mohini; Richards, Gareth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Previous studies have reported positive correlations between autistic traits and disordered eating, though it is unclear whether the association is moderated by sex/gender or whether it is independent of anxiety or depression. We present the findings of an online survey of 691 participants who completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), Hospital…

Self-Reported Suicidality in Male and Female Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Rumination and Self-Esteem
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arwert, Titia G.; Sizoo, Bram B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Rumination and low self-esteem are associated with suicidality, and with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, rumination and self-esteem in relation to suicidality in adults with ASD have not been examined. This cross-sectional study (n = 75; 46 males and 29 females) investigates the relation of rumination and self-esteem to the…

Brief Report: Sex/Gender Differences in Symptomology and Camouflaging in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Schuck, Rachel K.; Flores, Ryan E.; Fung, Lawrence K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is more prevalent in males than females. Previous research indicates females camouflage ASD symptoms more than males, potentially contributing to the difference in prevalence. This study investigated sex/gender differences in behavioral phenotypes in 17 males and 11 females with ASD, as well camouflaging in ASD, in…

Limeres, Jacobo; Diz, Pedro; Abeleira, María Teresa; Outumuro, Mercedes; Fernández-Feijoo, Javier; Diniz-Freitas, Márcio; García-Caballero, Lucía – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Determining a patient's dental age is essential from the dental standpoint but can also have connotations of a forensic, anthropological and medicolegal nature. In this study, we assessed the correspondence between dental age and chronological age in a group of 50 children with autism spectrum disorders, with a chronological age range of…

Siu, Michelle T.; Goodman, Sarah J.; Yellan, Isaac; Butcher, Darci T.; Jangjoo, Maryam; Grafodatskaya, Daria; Rajendram, Rageen; Lou, Youliang; Zhang, Rujun; Zhao, Chunhua; Nicolson, Rob; Georgiades, Stelios; Szatmari, Peter; Scherer, Stephen W.; Roberts, Wendy; Anagnostou, Evdokia; Weksberg, Rosanna – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Many neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) share common learning and behavioural impairments, as well as features such as dysregulation of the oxytocin hormone. Here, we examined DNA methylation (DNAm) in the 1st intron of the oxytocin receptor gene, "OXTR," in patients with autism spectrum (ASD), attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD)…

Gender Difference in the Association between Executive Function and Autistic Traits in Typically Developing Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dai, Meixia; Lin, Lizi; Liang, Jingjing; Wang, Zengjian; Jing, Jin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Autistic traits and executive function (EF) were assessed in 413 typically developing children aged 6-9 years. The children were divided into the high- autistic-trait (HAT) and low-autistic-trait (LAT) groups based on their total autistic traits. Results suggested that there were gender differences in specific autistic traits in children with LAT.…

Understanding Friendship Sex Heterophily and Relational Characteristics to Optimize the Selection of Peer Models for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Locke, Jill; Anderson, Ariana; Frederick, Lindsay; Kasari, Connie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study used social network analysis to evaluate whether sex heterophily, the degree to which peers are different in sex, between 126 children with autism (ages 5-12 years) and their peers affected social network connectivity. Results indicate that: (1) the quantity and sex of friends were more important in predicting social network…
