Background and Aims: Echolalia, the repetition of speech, is highly prevalent in school aged children with Autism. Prior research has found that individuals with echolalia use their repetitions to engage in communicatively functional speech, in the absence of self-generated speech. Educators are the natural audience for a wide vary of echoed…

Zucker, Ariel; Chang, Yookyung; Maharaj, Reena; Wang, Wei; Fiani, Theresa; McHugh, Susan; Feinup, Daniel M.; Jones, Emily A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
When one sibling has autism spectrum disorder, the sibling relationship is often characterized by poorer quality with fewer interactions. Because sibling relationships provide a vital social framework for development, they have the capacity to be a risk or protective factor, depending on the quality of the relationship. One way to improve the…

Lindly, Olivia J.; Shui, Amy M.; Stotts, Noa M.; Kuhlthau, Karen A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Elevated caregiver strain is common and linked to poor health in parents of children with autism. Yet, little research has examined caregiver strain longitudinally and in geographically diverse samples of parents whose children have autism. This study aimed to (1) examine change in caregiver strain and (2) determine correlates of improved…

Harris, Lauren; Gilmore, Daniel; Hanks, Christopher; Coury, Daniel; Moffatt-Bruce, Susan; Garvin, Jennifer H.; Hand, Brittany N. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Autistic adults experience barriers to primary care, including distant/inaccessible clinics, sensory stressors, and communication barriers with providers. Synchronous telehealth visits, termed "virtual visits," may be a way to minimize these barriers. We investigated the advantages and disadvantages of primary care virtual visits using a…

Pesonen, Henri V.; Tuononen, Tarja; Fabri, Marc; Lahdelma, Minja – Journal of Education and Work, 2022
An unprecedented number of autistic people are completing university and they frequently face unemployment after graduation. However, research focusing on the forms of graduate capital and their employability is scarce. The focus of existing research has been on non-autistic, or neurotypical, graduates. The human, social, cultural, identity and…
