Jonathan Lassen; Bob Oranje; Martin Vestergaard; Malene Foldager; Troels W. Kjaer; Bodil Aggernaes; Sidse Arnfred – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Compared to their neurotypically developing peers, children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders tend to have attenuated neural responses in the parietal lobe when attending sensory input, as reflected by a reduced P3b amplitude measured with electroencephalography. However, it is unknown whether a reduced P3b amplitude in autistic…

Smith; Tracy Vaillancourt; Peter Szatmari; Mayada Elsabbagh; Connor M. Kerns – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Anxiety has been associated with social communication and interaction differences among autistic children. We sought to clarify the direction of these associations longitudinally, and test executive function as a moderator. Participants were autistic children (N = 157; 15% female, 85% male) engaged in a longitudinal study. Analyses focused on two…

Jung-Chi Chang; Meng-Chuan Lai; Shu-Sen Chang; Susan Shur-Fen Gau – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
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…

Reed, Phil – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
This study examined whether set-shifting ability for children with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disability would be affected differentially by verbal or nonverbal feedback as the outcome of previous research tentatively suggests that verbal feedback may lead to slower set-shifting. Overall, 56 children participated (42 male; 14…

Haghighatfard, Arvin; Yaghoubi asl, Elham; Bahadori, Rosita Azar; Aliabadian, Rojina; Farhadi, Mahdi; Mohammadpour, Fatemeh; Tabrizi, Zeinab – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2022
Background and aims: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by language impairment, and challenges with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Although genetics are a primary cause of ASD, the exact genes and molecular mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis are not completely clear. The…

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…

Norris, Jade Eloise; Maras, Katie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Autistic people have difficulties recalling episodic memories, including retrieving fewer or less specific and detailed memories compared to typically developing people. However, the ability to effectively recall episodic memories is crucial in many real-world contexts, such as the criminal justice system, medical consultations, and employment…

Zaidman-Zait, Anat – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Parenting is a cognitive, emotional, and behavioral endeavor, where parents' control capacities, including executive functions and active control coping, help parents to guide and regulate interactions with their children; yet limited research investigates how these capacities are associated with parent-child affective regulation processes during…

Ten Eycke, Kayla D.; Müller, Ulrich – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Little is known about the relation between cognitive processes and imagination and whether this relation differs between neurotypically developing children and children with autism. To address this issue, we administered a cognitive task battery and Karmiloff-Smith's drawing task, which requires children to draw imaginative people and houses. For…
