Objective: To examine the association between threatened miscarriage, and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in offspring by age 14 years. Methods: We used data from the Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative longitudinal study of children born in…

Children with neurodevelopmental disorders are at risk for burn injury, but the clinical outcomes, particularly mortality, are unknown in this patient population in the United States (U.S.). The main objectives of this study are to evaluate (1) subject characteristics; (2) burn injury type; (3) clinical care provided; and (4) mortality in children…

Objective: This is a protocol for a Campbell review. The aim of this scoping review is to identify and map the available evidence on the association of antenatal cytokine concentrations with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) of the offspring and to inform future research avenues. Introduction: NDDs are a heterogeneous group of conditions with…

Research on neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has led us to refine our theoretical and methodological approaches. We explore whether new deficit clusters in line with the Research Domain Criteria, a novel multifactorial framework, optimally explain known conditions such as ADHD, DLD, or SLD in reading. Following the PRISMA guidelines for…

Young children are known to make significant progress in learning their native language during the first 4 years of their life. Nonetheless, delays or differences in patterns of language acquisition can be cautiously determined and be sensitive indicators of developmental issues. The current paper displays an investigation that examines plural…

The purpose of this phenomenological study is to investigate the impact of instructional design elements on cognitive load for adult neurodiverse learners in online learning environments. For the utility of this study, cognitive load will be generally defined as the working memory and mental resources needed to perform a task. This study is…

Sensory Over-Responsivity (SOR) is an increasingly recognized challenge among children with neurodevelopmental concerns (NDC). To investigate, we characterized the incidence of auditory and tactile over-responsivity (AOR, TOR) among 82 children with NDC. We found that 70% of caregivers reported concern for their child's sensory reactions. Direct…

The dorsal stream vulnerability hypothesis posits that the dorsal stream, responsible for visual motion and visuo-motor processing, may be particularly vulnerable during neurodevelopment. Consistent with this, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with deficits in global motion integration, though deficits in ventral stream tasks,…

This study examines the experiences of 10 neurodiverse students in Amsterdam, Netherlands, who all participated within in-class youth-led book clubs that centered science fiction. Over a 6-month period, the researcher conducted pre- and post-interviews and analyzed these along with transcription data from 24 book club sessions. Findings reveal…

Research has shown the importance of diversity representation in education both in PK12 and in higher education, but disability and neurodiversity have often been left out of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) conversations in higher education. Disabled and neurodivergent faculty members in higher education face barriers and stigma, and…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by differences in social communication and the presence of restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviors and interests [American Psychiatric Association. (2013). "Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders"]. The prevalence rate of autism has increased in…

This study explores the use of webcam-based eye tracking during a learning task to predict and better understand neurodivergence with the aim of improving personalized learning to support diverse learning needs. Using WebGazer, a webcam-based eye tracking technology, we collected gaze data from 354 participants as they engaged in educational…

Neurodivergent individuals are present in a significant portion of the global population. Despite its prevalence, educational and organisational environments often fail to accommodate neurodivergent individuals, particularly in the workforce. However, pioneering companies have started integrating neurodiversity into their workforces, recognising…

This systematic review aimed to synthesize evidence on aquatic activities compared with land-based activities in motor performance and physical fitness of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, developmental coordination disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. A systematic search was conducted from four electronic…

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the "International Journal of Talent Development and Creativity," I return to the vision of the publication, by understanding what it means to develop talent and creativity in the 21st century. This paper celebrates the development of talent in the context of an arts education for neurodiverse…
