Emotion dysregulation is one of the challenges that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families face. It is unclear whether emotion dysregulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between sensory processing patterns and problem behaviors among these children. This study examined the relations between emotion…

Chengan Yuan; Lanqi Wang; Zuxuan Huo; Qiuyu Min – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2024
The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention on cooperative behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this study, three dyads comprising six boys aged between 4.5 and 7 years with ASD participated, following a randomized multiple baseline design. The participants were asked to construct…

Paulina Buffle; Cristina Armijos; Alfredo Naranjo; Edouard Gentaz – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Identification procedures for autism spectrum disorders in paediatric settings include screening and routine clinical surveillance. Screening tools are perceived as challenging, and a preference for direct observation has been reported in Ecuadorian paediatric settings. Augmentative observational procedures could prompt the application of…

Background and Aim: Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) are at an increased risk to develop behaviors associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The relationship between early language difficulties and the occurrence of ASD-related behaviors in DLD is poorly understood. One factor that may hinder progress in understanding this…

Luodi Yu; Zhiren Wang; Yuebo Fan; Lizhi Ban; Laurent Mottron – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
While overt social atypicalities remain a key component of the autistic phenotype, recent reframing of autistic social motivation suggests that these atypicalities do not overlap with their actual level of social engagement. Our study aimed to investigate autistic preschoolers' visual attention toward social situations with unequal interactive…

Language ability has been associated with emotion regulation (ER) ability. Children on the autism spectrum have greater rates of language delays and lower ER ability. Despite this, autism traits have not been considered or controlled for in past research. This study therefore examined the association between language ability and ER in young…

Alder, M. L.; Johnson, C. R.; Zauszniewski, J. A.; Malow, B. A.; Burant, C. J.; Scahill, L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This research evaluated the feasibility of actigraphy to measure sleep and physical activity in children (ages 2-8 years) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We also explored associations between sleep and physical activity. Validated screening measures established eligibility. Questionnaires, diaries, and 5 days and 5 nights of actigraphy…

The purpose of this project was to investigate potential correlates of family life impairment in families of young autistic children. This project incorporated measures of specific child and parent challenges in addition to a commonly used unidimensional measure of autism characteristics. In this way, we could assess whether such challenges…

We investigated longitudinal relations between internalizing, externalizing, and total behaviors that challenge in young children on the autism spectrum and mothers' parenting stress. Participants included 93 mothers of children on the autism spectrum aged 27.89-65.84 months, who completed questionnaires on maternal parenting stress, and…

Hull, Laura; Heuvelman, Hein; Golding, Jean; Mandy, William; Rai, Dheeraj – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Gender-typical play is observed throughout childhood for non-autistic children. However, there has been limited research into the gender typicality of autistic children's play compared to that of non-autistic children. In a longitudinal population-based cohort, we compared gendered play behaviours in autistic and non-autistic children using…

Amelia Yanchik; Peter Vietze; Leah Esther Lax – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
The literature has yet to review the differential effects of Natural Environment Teaching (NET) and Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) on adaptive skills. A sample of 142 children diagnosed with ASD between the ages of 16 and 35 months received either DTT, NET, or both interventions (NET+ DTT). The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (BSID)…

Wei, Qi; Machalicek, Wendy; Zhu, Jinlan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The present study evaluated treatment acceptability for behavioral interventions addressing challenging behaviors with Chinese caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder. Factors influencing treatment acceptability (i.e., severity of challenging behavior and Chinese child-rearing values) were investigated. Caregivers of children aged…

Uzonyi, Thelma E.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Watson, Linda R.; Nowell, Sallie W.; Baranek, Grace T.; Turner-Brown, Lauren M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This analytical study documented the presence of transactions in parent-child engagement within a sample of young children at an elevated likelihood for an eventual diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Specifically, the study examined the establishment of transactional engagement through reciprocal behaviors between parents and their young…

Lehardy, Robert K.; Luczynski, Kevin C.; Stocco, Corey S.; Fallon, Maya J.; Rodriguez, Nicole M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Young children break rules (i.e., transgress) and then lie about those transgressions. By adolescence, lying is associated with decreased trust, communication, and quality of relationships, and with befriending antisocial peers. To decrease lies, we replicated differentially reinforcing honest reports about transgressions for one 6-year-old…

Restricted and repetitive behaviours vary greatly between autistic people. Some are a source of pleasure or create opportunities for learning; others may be detrimental in day-to-day life or cause harm. We have developed, in close collaboration with parents/carers, the Understanding Repetitive Behaviours programme, designed for families of young…
