Oxidative stress has been proposed as being important in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and heightened levels of oxidative stress has found in children with ASD. Our aim was to investigate, whether this change is temporary or persist into adulthood. We included 89 adult patients with ASD and sex and age matched controls.…

This study aimed to characterize the relationship between insistence on sameness (IS), executive functioning (EF) and anxiety among individuals with "PTEN" mutations and individuals with macrocephalic ASD. The sample included 38 individuals with "PTEN" mutation and ASD diagnosis ("PTEN"-ASD; M[subscript age] =…

Hochard, K. D.; Pendrous, R.; Mari, T.; Flynn, S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Short sleep duration is a known risk factor for suicidality in the general population, yet it is unclear how short sleep interacts with autism traits in predicting suicidality. In this cross-sectional online study, a general population sample (N = 650) completed measures assessing autism traits, suicidal ideation, and sleep duration. Moderated…

Qualls, Lydia R.; Hartmann, Kathrin; Paulson, James F.; Wells, Nicole Kreiser – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) are more likely than individuals with typical development (TD) to report a sexual minority orientation (e.g., Bejerot and Eriksson, PLoS ONE 9:1-9, 2014; DeWinter et al., Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 47:2927-2934, 2017; Qualls et al., Journal of…

Choi, Boin; Castelbaum, Lauren; McKechnie, Riley; Rowe, Meredith L.; Nelson, Charles A.; Tager-Flusberg, Helen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We examined the communicative intentions behind parents' deictic gesture use with high-risk infants later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; n = 17), high-risk infants who were not diagnosed with ASD (n = 25), and low-risk infants (n = 28) at 12 months and assessed the extent to which the parental deictic gesture intentions predicted…

Infant vocalizations are early-emerging communicative markers shown to be atypical in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but few longitudinal, prospective studies exist. In this study, 23,850 infant vocalizations from infants at low (LR)- and high (HR)-risk for ASD (HR-ASD = 23, female = 3; HR-Neg = 35, female = 13; LR = 32, female = 10; 80% White;…

Keating, Connor T.; Fraser, Dagmar S.; Sowden, Sophie; Cook, Jennifer L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
To date, studies have not established whether autistic and non-autistic individuals differ in emotion recognition from facial motion cues when matched in terms of alexithymia. Here, autistic and non-autistic adults (N = 60) matched on age, gender, non-verbal reasoning ability and alexithymia, completed an emotion recognition task, which employed…

White, Susan W.; Smith, Isaac; Brewe, Alexis M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Self-determination (SD) is linked to autonomy and better adult outcomes. Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often less independent than cognitively matched peers. Given the frequency with which depression co-occurs in ASD and the established association between depression and SD, we sought to evaluate the influence of both ASD severity…

Sonido, Marisse T.; Hwang, Ye In; Srasuebkul, Preeyaporn; Trollor, Julian N.; Arnold, Samuel R. C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Carers of adults on the autism spectrum often experience high levels of stress, worry, and caregiver burden. There are few studies identifying the predictors of carer mental well-being and none have been conducted in Australia. Data from the Autism Cooperative Research Centre for Living with Autism's Australian Longitudinal Study of Autism in…

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of unknown comorbid mental disorders in individuals with mild/moderate intellectual disability (ID) with/without autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and to compare the severity of challenging behavior with respect to the comorbidity of ASD and comorbid psychiatric disorders. Methods:…

Aggressive behaviors are common among youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and correlate with pervasive social-emotional difficulties. Communication skill is an important correlate of disruptive behavior in typical development, and clarification of links between communication and aggression in ASD may inform intervention methods. We…

Corona, Laura L.; Wagner, Liliana; Wade, Joshua; Weitlauf, Amy S.; Hine, Jeffrey; Nicholson, Amy; Stone, Caitlin; Vehorn, Alison; Warren, Zachary – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Barriers to identifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in young children in a timely manner have led to calls for novel screening and assessment strategies. Combining computational methods with clinical expertise presents an opportunity for identifying patterns within large clinical datasets that can inform new assessment paradigms. The present…

Mason, Lauren A.; Zimiga, Brandon M.; Anders-Jefferson, Regina; Paap, Kenneth R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Are Autism Quotient (AQ) scores related to executive functioning (EF)? We sampled 200 students of normal intelligence and examined the relationship between AQ scores and: (a) 5 self-ratings of EF, (b) 5 performance-based measures of EF, and (c) 5 types of activities or experiences that are assumed to recruit EF and sometimes enhance EF. Our…

Mason, David; Capp, Simone J.; Stewart, Gavin R.; Kempton, Matthew J.; Glaser, Karen; Howlin, Patricia; Happé, Francesca – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Longitudinal studies have generally reported poor outcomes in adulthood for the majority of individuals (c.50-60%) with autism. Several factors putatively predict outcome (e.g. IQ), but findings remain mixed. This paper presents an updated meta-analysis of autism outcome studies and extends previous findings with additional analyses (including…

Wang, Li; Beaman, C. Philip; Jiang, Cunmei; Liu, Fang – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Prosody or "melody in speech" in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often perceived as atypical. This study examined perception and production of statements and questions in 84 children, adolescents and adults with and without ASD, as well as participants' pitch direction discrimination thresholds. The results suggested that the abilities…
