Anna V. Oppenheimer; Marc G. Weisskopf; Kristen Lyall – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Purpose: The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) is frequently used in research settings to measure characteristics associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A short version has been developed but not yet tested for certain properties of the full SRS, such as familiality. The purpose of this study was to determine if prior familiality…

Marta Godoy-Giménez; Ángel García-Pérez; Fernando Cañadas; Angeles F. Estévez; Pablo Sayans-Jiménez – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
The broad autism phenotype is the phenotypic expression of the primary characteristics of autism. However, currently available tests do not agree with the two-domain operationalization of broad autism phenotype or autism, and their internal structure has shown instability across applications. This study presents the Broad Autism…

Language Profiles of School-Age Children with 16p11.2 Copy Number Variants in a Clinically Ascertained Cohort
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jente Verbesselt; Jeroen Breckpot; Inge Zink; Ann Swillen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Individuals with proximal 16p11.2 copy number variants (CNVs), either deletions (16p11.2DS) or duplications (16p11.2Dup), are predisposed to neurodevelopmental difficulties and disorders, such as language disorders, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of the current study was to characterize language…

Russell, Ian; Pearson, Beth; Masic, Una – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Literature has documented inflated rates of features associated with autism spectrum (AS) in clinic referred, gender diverse young people. This study examined scores on the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2) over time in a group of clinic referred, gender diverse adolescents accessing gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues…

This study examined the similarities/differences between the social phenotypes of Williams syndrome (WS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As cultural norms may affect symptom evaluation, this study administered the Social Responsiveness Scale-2 to Japanese individuals with WS (n = 78, 4.4-44.0 years) and ASD (n = 75, 4.7-55.4 years). The scores…

A Co-Twin-Control Study of Altered Sensory Processing in Autism
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Neufeld, Janina; Taylor, Mark J.; Lundin Remnélius, Karl; Isaksson, Johan; Lichtenstein, Paul; Bölte, Sven – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder is associated with sensory processing alterations, such as sensory hyper- and hypo-responsiveness. Twin studies are scarce in this field, but they are necessary in order to disentangle the genetic and environmental contributions to this association. Furthermore, it is unclear how different neurodevelopmental/psychiatric…
