The interactions between sleep problems, autism symptoms and emotional and behavioural difficulties were explored using network analysis in 240 autistic children (mean age: 8.8 years, range 5-13 years) with moderate to severe sleep problems. Findings revealed a highly connected and interpretable network, with three separate clusters identified of…

Georgia Cronshaw; Emily Midouhas – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Autistic children show higher rates of co-occurring emotional and behavioural difficulties compared to other children in the general population. However, the environmental factors which contribute to the development of emotional (internalising) and behavioural (externalising) difficulties in autistic individuals are poorly understood. This study…

Sadikova, Eleonora; Dovgan, Kristen; Mazurek, Micah O. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Up to 80% of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience sleep problems, which have been associated with more severe presentations of ASD symptoms. We examined the bidirectional link between sleep problems and specific ASD symptoms at two time points within 5 years in a well-characterized sample (659 children with ASD). Using…

Yi-Shan Sung; Chung-Ying Lin; Shin Ying Chu; Ling-Yi Lin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Emotion dysregulation is one of the challenges that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families face. It is unclear whether emotion dysregulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between sensory processing patterns and problem behaviors among these children. This study examined the relations between emotion…

Kollins; Geraldine Dawson – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms affect 40-60% of autistic children and have been linked to differences in adaptive behavior. It is unclear whether adaptive behavior in autistic youth is directly impacted by co-occurring ADHD symptoms or by another associated feature of both autism and ADHD, such as increased irritability.…

Gabrielle Nwaordu; Rebecca A. Charlton – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Purpose: Restricted and repetitive behaviours are a core feature of autism diagnoses but have not been widely studied in adulthood. This study examined the rates of and associations between repetitive behaviours and sensory sensitivity in autistic and non-autistic adults; and whether repetitive behaviours described as "stimming" impacted…

Préfontaine, Isabelle; Morizot, Julien; Lanovaz, Marc J.; Rivard, Mélina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Despite showing effects in well-controlled studies, the extent to which early intensive behavioral intervention (EBI) produces positive changes in community-based settings remains uncertain. Thus, our study examined changes in autistic symptoms and adaptive functioning in 233 children with autism receiving EBI in a community setting. The results…

Cissne, Mackenzie N.; Kester, Lindsay E.; Gunn, Amanda J. Moffitt; Bodner, Kimberly E.; Miles, Judith H.; Christ, Shawn E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The present study evaluated the hypothesis that the strength of the relationship between executive function (EF) and repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (RBRI) symptomatology is moderated by the degree to which concurrent demands are placed on multiple aspects of EF. An eye movement task was used to evaluate inhibition and task switching…

Wang, Geng-fu; Li, Wen-Lei; Han, Yu; Gao, Lei; Dai, Wei; Su, Yuan-yuan; Zhang, Xin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Little is known about the relationship between sensory processing problems and sleep disturbances, emotional and behavioral problems and mealtime behavioral problems in Chinese children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This study examined those relationships in Chinese preschool children with ASD using a case-control design. Atypical sensory…

Insomnia is one of the most common co-occurring disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of this cross-sectional cohort study of 270 children with ASD was to assess the prevalence of insomnia using the Pediatric Sleep Clinical Global Impression Scale and to correlate sleep problems with cognitive level, adaptive…

Emotion knowledge has not been explored in children with cerebral palsy (CP). To evaluate differences in emotion knowledge between children with CP and their typically developing peers (TDP), and explore its associations with affective regulation and behavioral psychopathology. 36 Children with CP and 45 TDP completed the Emotion Matching Task…

Calhoun, Susan L.; Pearl, Amanda M.; Fernandez-Mendoza, Julio; Durica, Krina C.; Mayes, Susan D.; Murray, Michael J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Sleep disturbances (SD) are prevalent in individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Less is known about the effects of SD on cognition and learning in adolescents with high-functioning ASD (HF-ASD). Adolescents with HF-ASD (N = 96) were evaluated for the relationships of SD to working memory and learning problems. Results found SD…

Nilsson Jobs, Elisabeth; Bölte, Sven; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
To fulfill the criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), symptoms must be present across domains and contexts. We assessed preschool staff's ratings of social communication and interaction (SCI) and restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) in 3-year-old siblings of children with ASD, either diagnosed (n = 12) or not diagnosed (n = 36) with…

Abel, Emily A.; Schwichtenberg, A. J.; Brodhead, Matthew T.; Christ, Sharon L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study examined the associations between sleep and challenging behaviors for average and night-to-night fluctuations in sleep, in 39 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) receiving intensive behavioral intervention (IBI). Child sleep was recorded (via actigraphy) for five nights in conjunction with clinician-reported observations of…

Kurtz-Nelson, Evangeline C.; Tham, See Wan; Ahlers, Kaitlyn; Cho, Daniel; Wallace, Arianne S.; Eichler, Evan E.; Bernier, Raphael A.; Earl, Rachel K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Self-injurious behaviors (SIB) are elevated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related genetic disorders, but the genetic and biological mechanisms that contribute to SIB in ASD are poorly understood. This study examined rates and predictors of SIB in 112 individuals with disruptive mutations to ASD-risk genes. Current SIB were reported in 30%…
