Davis, Paige E.; Slater, Jessica; Marshall, David; Robins, Diana L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Past research shows that autistic children can and do create imaginary companions (ICs), and that these ICs resemble those that neurotypical children create. Neurotypical children creating ICs have been found to have significantly more developed theory of mind (ToM) and social understanding among other enhanced social cognitive skills. The study…

Einat Waizbard; Emilio Ferrer; Meghan Miller; Brianna Heath; Derek S. Andrews; Sally J. Rogers; Christine Wu Nordahl; Marjorie Solomon; David G. Amaral – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Girls, more than boys, experience a decrease in the severity of autism symptoms during childhood. It is unclear, however, which specific autistic behaviors change more for girls than for boys. Trajectories of autism symptoms were evaluated using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-calibrated severity scores (ADOS-CSS). Change in the…
