Lauren Berkovits; Jan Blacher; Abbey Eisenhower; Stuart Daniel – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: Comparative data of autism-sensitive standardized measures of emotion regulation and lability, describing percentage change over time for populations of young autistic children, are currently publicly unavailable. We propose publication of such data as a support for future therapeutic intervention studies. Methods: We generate and present…

Christina Harkins; Micah O. Mazurek – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Purpose: The co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is significant and associated with a host of negative outcomes. Studies investigating social functioning in the presence of the ASD/ADHD co-occurrence have produced mixed findings. The present study further evaluated the impact of…

So Yoon Kim; Jeong Eun Cheon; Young-Hoon Kim – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: This cross-cultural study examined various domains of dehumanization, including both blatant (viewing autistic people as animal-like, child-like, or machine-like) and subtle (denying agency and experience capabilities) dehumanization, of autistic individuals by Koreans and Americans. Methods: A total of 404 Koreans and 229 Americans…

Souza, Cristiane; Garrido, Margarida V.; Horchak, Oleksandr V.; Barahona-Correa, J. Bernardo; Carmo, Joana C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study examines declarative memory retrieval in ASD depending on the availability and access to stored conceptual knowledge. Fifteen autistic participants and a matched control group of 18 typically-developed (TD) volunteers completed a Remember-Know paradigm manipulated by encoding-type (categorical, perceptual) and item-typicality…

Marisa L. Mylett; Troy Q. Boucher; Nichole E. Scheerer; Grace Iarocci – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The current study examined whether social competence and autistic traits are related to anxiety and depression in autistic and non-autistic children. Parents of 340 children aged 6 to 12 years old, including 186 autistic and 154 non-autistic children completed the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) to assess their child's autistic traits, the…

Klabunde, M.; Piccirilli, A.; Bruno, J.; Gendron, M.; Reiss, A. L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
To examine the potential mechanisms underlying social deficits in Turner Syndrome, we administered the empathic accuracy task (EAT)--a naturalistic social cognition task--and a (control) visual-motor line-tracking task to 14 girls with TS was compared to 12 age-matched typically developing girls (TD; ages 12 to 17). Empathic accuracy was compared…

Mishra, Avinash; Ceballos, Victoria; Himmelwright, Kelsey; McCabe, Shannon; Scott, Lindsay – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) demonstrate delayed and atypical communication development. These deficits constitute a core criterion for the diagnosis of ASD, though information regarding gestural communication in toddlers with ASD remains limited. The present investigation implemented a robust gesture classification system in order…

Bellato, Alessio; Arora, Iti; Kochhar, Puja; Ropar, Danielle; Hollis, Chris; Groom, Madeleine J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Despite overlaps in clinical symptomatology, autism and ADHD may be associated with opposite autonomic arousal profiles which might partly explain altered cognitive and global functioning. We investigated autonomic arousal in 106 children/adolescents with autism, ADHD, co-occurring autism/ADHD, and neurotypical controls. Heart rate variability was…

Howells, Katherine; Sivaratnam, Carmel; Lindor, Ebony; He, Jason; Hyde, Christian; McGillivray, Jane; Wilson, Rujuta B.; Rinehart, Nicole – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This non-randomised pilot study evaluated the impact of a community football program on motor ability in children aged 5-12 years with autism spectrum disorder. Sixteen children were evaluated at baseline-and-post attendance in a football program for a varied number of weeks and compared to 19 children engaging in treatment-as-usual. Primary…

Ansari, Soleyman; Hosseinkhanzadeh, Abbas Ali; AdibSaber, Fahimeh; Shojaei, Masoumeh; Daneshfar, Afkham – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The present study aimed to compare the effect of a land-based and a swimming-based exercise program on balance abilities in children with autism. Thirty children were voluntarily selected and randomly assigned to karate exercise, aquatic training and control groups. Participants practiced for 10 weeks, 2 sessions of 60 min per week. Before and…

Macdonald, Dianne; Luk, Gigi; Quintin, Eve-Marie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and hyperlexia (HPL) have both advanced word reading skills and a reading comprehension disorder, alongside impaired oral language. We developed a unique, parent-supported, tablet-based intervention aiming to improve oral and reading comprehension at the word-, phrase- and sentence-level, for…

Roux, Anne M.; Rast, Jessica E.; Anderson, Kristy A.; Garfield, Tamara; Shattuck, Paul T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
U.S. policy interventions encourage earlier provision of Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) services to support students and youth with disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the transition from school to work. We analyzed Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA-911) data using multivariable logistic regression to determine the…

Kumazaki, Hirokazu; Kikuchi, Mitsuru; Yoshimura, Yuko; Miyao, Masutomo; Okada, Ken-ichi; Mimura, Masaru; Minabe, Yoshio – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Understanding the nature of olfactory abnormalities is crucial for optimal interventions in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, previous studies that have investigated odor identification in children with ASD have produced inconsistent results. The ability to correctly identify an odor relies heavily on visual inputs in the…

Seiverling, Laura; Anderson, Kisha; Rogan, Christine; Alaimo, Christina; Argott, Paul; Panora, Julio – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study compared a behavioral feeding intervention with and without pre-meal sensory integration therapy (SIT) in two boys with autism spectrum disorder and severe food selectivity. For both participants, child bite and drink consumption and total intake increased to similar levels with corresponding decreases in inappropriate mealtime behavior…

Rausch, Annika; Zhang, Wei; Beckmann, Christian F.; Buitelaar, Jan K.; Groen, Wouter B.; Haak, Koen V. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Amygdala dysfunction plays a role in the social impairments in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but it is unclear which of its subregions are abnormal in ASD. This study compared the volume and functional connectivity (FC) strength of three FC-defined amygdala subregions between ASD and controls, and assessed their relation to social skills in…
