Golan, Ofer; Haruvi-Lamdan, Nirit; Laor, Nathaniel; Horesh, Danny – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social communication difficulties and restricted, repetitive behaviors. Autism spectrum disorder is highly co-morbid with other neuro-psychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and depression. However, research on post-traumatic stress…

Jachyra, Patrick; Lai, Meng-Chuan; Zaheer, Juveria; Fernandes, Natasha; Dale, Michelle; Sawyer, Amanda; Lunsky, Yona – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Despite increasing attention on suicidality in autistic people, we know little about suicidal presentations when autistic individuals present to hospital emergency departments (ED). We conducted an exploratory retrospective chart review of suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STB) of autistic adults who presented to a psychiatric ED. The analysis…

Baweja, Raman; Brown, Sierra L.; Edwards, Erin M.; Murray, Michael J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The COVID-19 infectious disease pandemic has caused significant fear and uncertainty around the world and had significant adverse psychological impact. Children, adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are a particularly vulnerable population, impacted by stay-at-home orders, closures at nonessential services, and social…

Moseley, R. L.; Liu, C. H.; Gregory, N. J.; Smith, P.; Baron-Cohen, S.; Sui, J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The cognitive representation of "oneself" is central to other sociocognitive processes, including relations with others. It is reflected in faster, more accurate processing of self-relevant information, a "self-prioritisation effect" (SPE) which is inconsistent across studies in autism. Across two tasks with autistic and…

Jankowski, Kathryn F.; Pfeifer, Jennifer H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autistic adolescents experience a secondary wave of social cognitive challenges which impact interpersonal success. We investigated self-conscious emotion (SCE) processing in autistic and neurotypical adolescents. Participants watched videos of peers acting embarrassed and proud and rated inferred and empathic SCEs. We compared intensity ratings…

Feller, Clémence; Dubois, Charlotte; Eliez, Stephan; Schneider, Maude – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Episodic future thinking (EFT) has been suggested to underlie anticipatory pleasure (AP), itself known to play a crucial role in social functioning (SF). Both AP and SF are impaired in various clinical populations, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). Therefore, the relationship between EFT, AP and SF…

This paper reported the quality of life (QoL) of 260 Malaysian parents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and factors which influencing it. About half of these parents reported to having good QoL. The factors identified in the double ABCX model showed that perceived social support and sense of coherence (SOC) were mediated by coping strategies…

Crompton, Catherine J.; Hallett, Sonny; Ropar, Danielle; Flynn, Emma; Fletcher-Watson, Sue – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Many autistic people are motivated to have friends, relationships and close family bonds, despite the clinical characterisation of autism as a condition negatively affecting social interaction. Many first-hand accounts of autistic people describe feelings of comfort and ease specifically with other autistic people. This qualitative research…

Simpraga, Sonja; Weiland, Ricarda F.; Mansvelder, Huibert D.; Polderman, Tinca J. C.; Begeer, Sander; Smit, Dirk J. A.; Linkenkaer-Hansen, Klaus – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Mind wandering constitutes a major part of everyday experience and is inherently related to how we feel and identify ourselves. Thus, probing the character and content of thoughts and feelings experienced during mind-wandering episodes could lead to a better understanding of the human mind in health and disease. How mind wandering and spontaneous…

Lewis, Laura Foran; Ward, Caroline; Jarvis, Noah; Cawley, Eleni – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autistics are more likely than neurotypicals to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, and other sexual orientations. Autistics and sexual minorities represent populations at high risk for depression, anxiety, and suicidality. Little is known about the experiences of individuals living at this intersection. In this phenomenology, 67 individuals who…

Albein-Urios, Natalia; Youssef, George; Klas, Anna; Enticott, Peter G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Inner speech processes are thought to be associated with decreases in cognitive performance in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although verbal thinking is also a key component in emotional responses, no studies have investigated whether inner speech is linked to emotion regulation in ASD. The aim of this study was to investigate whether inner…

Clutterbuck, Rachel A.; Shah, Punit; Leung, Hok Sze; Callan, Mitchell J.; Gjersoe, Natalia; Livingston, Lucy A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
White and Remington (2019) found that autistic people may have increased anthropomorphic tendencies to ascribe human-like attributes to non-human agents. However, it was unclear from their study whether this relationship holds after accounting for socio-demographic variables known to be associated with anthropomorphism. The psychometric properties…

Jordan, Amy Louise; Marczak, Magdalena; Knibbs, Jacqueline – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
It is recognised that a high proportion of adults on the autism spectrum experience depressive symptoms. However, limited research has explored autistic peoples' experiences of low mood and depression. The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of low mood and depression for adults on the autism spectrum. The study employed…

Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by abnormal function in core social brain regions. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging volitional neurofeedback. Following up the demonstration of neuromodulation in healthy participants, in this repeated-measure design clinical trial, 15 autism spectrum…

Toseeb, Umar; McChesney, Gillian; Oldfield, Jeremy; Wolke, Dieter – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Sibling bullying is associated with various psychosocial difficulties. We investigated this in 231 individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and 8180 without ASD between middle childhood (age 11 years) and early adolescence (age 14 years). On the whole, self-reported sibling bullying decreased from middle childhood to early adolescence.…
