Sanders, Eric J.; Irvin, Dwight W.; Belardi, Katie; McCune, Luke; Boyd, Brian A.; Odom, Samuel L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2016
This study investigated questions adults asked to children with autism spectrum disorder in inclusive pre-kindergarten classrooms, and whether child (e.g. autism severity) and setting (i.e. adult-to-child ratio) characteristics were related to questions asked during center-time. Videos of verbal children with autism spectrum disorder (n?=?42) were…

The cognitive and academic profiles of high ability students with autism spectrum disorder were examined.

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bolte, Sven; Duketis, Eftichia; Poustka, Fritz; Holtmann, Martin – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2011
Despite the skewed sex ratio, few studies have addressed possible cognitive sex differences in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This study compared visual attention to detail (ATTD) and selected executive functions (EF) in 35 males and 21 females with higher-functioning ASD and unaffected sibling controls. Females with ASD outperformed males on…
