McCarthy, Robyn; Blackburn, Carolyn; Mukherjee, Raja; Fleming, Kate; Allely, Clare; Kirby, Lauren; Cook, Penny A. – British Journal of Special Education, 2022
Three of the most prevalent developmental disorders (DDs) are autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). As part of a study screening for DDs in Greater Manchester, UK, a unique opportunity was taken to explore parents' experiences of receiving reports about their…

Brierley, Noah J.; McDonnell, Christina G.; Parks, Kaitlyn M. A.; Schulz, Samantha E.; Dalal, Tyler C.; Kelley, Elizabeth; Anagnostou, Evdokia; Nicolson, Robert; Georgiades, Stelios; Crosbie, Jennifer; Schachar, Russell; Liu, Xudong; Stevenson, Ryan A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and commonly occur in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Little is known about how RRBs manifest in ADHD. We quantified and compared factor structures of RRBs in children with ASD (n = 634) or ADHD (n = 448), and related factors…

Pillay, Sarosha; Duncan, Madeleine; de Vries, Petrus J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder in South Africa is unknown and, to date, very little research has been performed within school systems that could inform the rates, distribution and profile of needs of children with autism spectrum disorder in education. We performed a comprehensive database search of all children with autism spectrum…

Isaksson, Johan; Taylor, Mark J.; Lundin, Karl; Neufeld, Janina; Bölte, Sven – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Alterations in social cognition are hypothesized to underlie social communication challenges in autism spectrum disorder. However, the etiologic underpinnings driving this association, as well as the impact of other psychiatric conditions on the association, remain unclear. Using a co-twin control design, we examined n = 308 twins (mean age =…

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)…

La Buissonnière-Ariza, Valérie; Wood, Jeffrey J.; Kendall, Philip C.; McBride, Nicole M.; Cepeda, Sandra L.; Small, Brent J.; Lewin, Adam B.; Kerns, Connor; Storch, Eric A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
We investigated the presentation and correlates of hoarding behaviors in 204 children aged 7-13 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and comorbid anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. Approximately 34% of the sample presented at least moderate levels, and with 7% presenting severe to extreme levels of hoarding. Child gender…

Wong, Patsy P. S.; Wai, Veronica C. M.; Chan, Raymond W. S.; Leung, Cecilia N. W.; Leung, Patrick W. L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
The Hong Kong Chinese version of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient-Child and Autism-Spectrum Quotient-Adolescent were examined for their psychometric properties and specificity on screening autism spectrum disorder against attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. This study recruited three groups of participants: typically developing children;…

Angell, Amber M.; Deavenport-Saman, Alexis; Yin, Larry; Zou, Baiming; Bai, Chen; Varma, Deepthi; Solomon, Olga – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autistic children have a high prevalence of co-occurring mental health, developmental/behavioral, and medical conditions, but research on sex/gender differences has been mixed. We used Florida healthcare claims data to characterize sex differences (female/male) in co-occurring conditions among autistic children ages 1-21 (N = 83,500). After…

The multiple layers of exclusion that can be experienced by a child at school and the relationship of this to mental well-being is the focus of this paper. The relationship between specific mental health problems and school exclusion is discussed. Data gathered from 1648 English school-aged students in 2019 who participated in the OxWell school…

Myers, Lynnea; van't Westeinde, Annelies; Kuja-Halkola, Ralf; Tammimies, Kristiina; Bölte, Sven – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The second to fourth digit (2D:4D) ratio is of interest in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies on the relationship of this ratio with other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are lacking. Investigating the association between the ratio and NDDs in twins can provide insight into genetic and/or environmental factors driving the ratio. Hand…

Reurts, Eva Enneke; Troost, Pieter W.; Dinnissen, Mariken; Reijnen, Sam; Hoekstra, Pieter J.; Popma, Arne – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
A retrospective chart study of patients on open-label aripiprazole treatment was conducted in the Netherlands to add to the knowledge of aripiprazole in children and young adults with mild and borderline intellectual disabilities (IDs). Fifty-three youths, mean age 14.7 ± 3.4 years and mean IQ 64.5 ±13.8, were included. Treatment responders were…

Kentrou, Vasiliki; de Veld, Danielle MJ; Mataw, Kawita JK; Begeer, Sander – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Phenotypic elements of autism spectrum disorder can be masked by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms, potentially leading to a misdiagnosis or delaying an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. This study explored differences in the age of autism spectrum disorder diagnosis between participants with previously diagnosed…

Ross, Gail S.; Rescorla, Leslie A.; Perlman, Jeffrey M. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2020
There are few studies of behavior problems in preterm children prior to 2 years old and the changes that occur over time. The aims of this study were to examine the patterns and prediction of behavior problems and the effects of gender and socioeconomic status (SES) on behavior problems in preterm children at the toddler and preschool periods.…
