Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are more likely to have suicidal thoughts and behaviors. However, little research delineates the temporal and mechanistic associations between potential risk factors and suicidality in autistic individuals. We assessed 129 autistic and 121 age-matched and sex-assigned-at-birth-matched…

Godfrey, Kate J.; Espenhahn, Svenja; Stokoe, Mehak; McMorris, Carly; Murias, Kara; McCrimmon, Adam; Harris, Ashley D.; Bray, Signe – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Several theories have been proposed to explain the presentation of intense interests in autism, including theories based on altered executive functioning, imbalanced reward sensitivity, and mitigating anxiety. These theories have yet to be examined in early childhood, yet knowledge of how intense interests emerge could provide insight into how…

Faja, Susan; Nelson Darling, Laura – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Symptoms of restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests in autism are theoretically linked to executive functioning, which includes problem-solving abilities such as inhibition and cognitive flexibility. This study examined whether inhibition and flexibility are related to higher order restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests (e.g.…

Faja, Susan; Clarkson, Tessa; Gilbert, Rachel; Vaidyanathan, Akshita; Greco, Gabriella; Rueda, M. Rosario; Combita, Lina M.; Driscoll, Kate – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
This randomized, controlled study examined the initial efficacy of an executive function training program for children with autism spectrum disorder. Seventy 7- to 11 year-olds with autism spectrum disorder and intelligence quotients [greater than or equal to]80 were randomly assigned to receive a web-based set of executive function training games…

Cremone-Caira, Amanda; Trier, Katherine; Sanchez, Victoria; Kohn, Brooke; Gilbert, Rachel; Faja, Susan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Thirty to 80% of children with autism spectrum disorder also have symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Many children with autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder experience difficulties carrying out goal-directed behaviors, particularly when it comes to inhibiting responses. The aim of this study was…

Tomaszewski, Brianne; Hepburn, Susan; Blakeley-Smith, Audrey; Rogers, Sally J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Longitudinal growth modeling was utilized to examine adaptive behavior over eight years across the three time points (i.e., ages 2-10). Seventy-six parents completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales interviews of adaptive behavior. Child participants completed standardized developmental testing and an executive function task in toddlerhood…

Brewe, Alexis M.; Simmons, Grace Lee; Capriola-Hall, Nicole N.; White, Susan W. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Adults with autism spectrum disorder often experience co-occurring mental health problems such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity-disorder, as well as impairments in executive function. Sluggish cognitive tempo, a cluster of behaviors including slow processing, daydreaming, and mental fogginess, has been shown to be associated with…

Maddox, Brenna B.; Cleary, Patrick; Kuschner, Emily S.; Miller, Judith S.; Armour, Anna Chelsea; Guy, Lisa; Kenworthy, Lauren; Schultz, Robert T.; Yerys, Benjamin E. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Many children with autism spectrum disorder display challenging behaviors. These behaviors are not limited to those with cognitive and/or language impairments. The Collaborative and Proactive Solutions framework proposes that challenging behaviors result from an incompatibility between environmental demands and a child's "lagging…

Ros-Demarize, Rosmary; Graziano, Paulo A. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2021
The current study examined the feasibility and initial efficacy of the Summer Treatment Program for Pre-kindergarteners (STP-PreK) with 37 preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and externalizing behavior problems (EBP). Parents and teachers reported on children's behavior, social/adaptive skills, and self-regulation. Children completed…
