Autistic adults are often perceived as having an atypical speech. The acoustic characteristics of these impressions prove surprisingly difficult to delineate, but one feature that does robustly emerge across different studies is higher pitch (F0 values) in autistic versus neurotypical individuals. However, there is no clear explanation why…

Michelle Kiep; Annelies Spek; Eva Ceulemans; Ilse Noens – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
Purpose: One of the core features that can be experienced by adults on the autism spectrum is hyper- and hyporeactivity to sensory stimuli. Research suggests that executive functioning (EF) impairments are related to sensory issues. In this study the relationship between sensory processing issues and EF was investigated. We expected sensory…

Ní Ghrálaigh, Fiana; McCarthy, Ellen; Murphy, Daniel N.; Gallagher, Louise; Lopez, Lorna M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism is a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition, highly heterogenous in both genotype and phenotype. This communication adds to existing discussion of the heterogeneity of clinical sequencing tests, "gene panels", marketed for application in autism. We evaluate the clinical utility of available gene panels based on existing genetic…
