This study was a systematic review of research using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to examine cognitive characteristics of children with ASD beyond the impact of revisions based on WISC and diagnostic criteria changes. The classic "islets of ability" was found in individuals with…

Ferguson, Heather J.; Wimmer, Lena; Black, Jo; Barzy, Mahsa; Williams, David – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We report an event-related brain potential (ERP) experiment that tests whether autistic adults are able to maintain and switch between counterfactual and factual worlds. Participants (N = 48) read scenarios that set up a factual or counterfactual scenario, then either maintained the counterfactual world or switched back to the factual world. When…

Schmitt, Lauren M.; Sweeney, John A.; Erickson, Craig A.; Shaffer, Rebecca – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Cognitive flexibility deficits are a hallmark feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but few evidence-based behavioral interventions have successfully addressed this treatment target. Outcome measurement selection may help account for previous findings. The probabilistic reversal learning task (PRL) is a measure of cognitive flexibility…

Jones, Desiree R.; Dallman, Aaron; Harrop, Clare; Whitten, Allison; Pritchett, Jill; Lecavalier, Luc; Bodfish, James W.; Boyd, Brian A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study evaluates the feasibility of the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIH-TCB) for use in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 116 autistic children and adolescents and 80 typically developing (TD) controls, ages 3-17 years, completed four NIH-TCB tasks related to inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, processing speed, and episodic memory.…

Bradshaw, Jessica; Schwichtenberg, Amy J.; Iverson, Jana M. – Child Development Perspectives, 2022
Developmental change emerges from dynamic interactions among networks of neural activity, behavior systems, and experience-dependent processes. A developmental cascades framework captures the sequential, multilevel, cross-domain nature of human development and is ideal for demonstrating how interconnected systems have far-reaching effects in…

Bradbury, Kathryn R.; Anderberg, Emily I.; Huang-Storms, Lark; Vasile, Iulia; Greene, Rachel K.; Duvall, Susanne W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The current study explores functioning in individuals with co-occurring Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome (ASD+DS; n = 23), individuals with ASD and cognitive impairment (ASD+ID; n = 99) and individuals with idiopathic ID (n = 38). ANCOVA results revealed that individuals with ASD+DS showed strengths in behavioral functioning compared to…

Kenny, Lorcan; Remington, Anna; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Performance on a single executive function (EF) task (e.g., a card sorting task) is often taken to represent ability on the underlying subcomponent of EF (e.g., set shifting) without accounting for the non-specific and non-executive skills employed to complete the task. This study used a manualised battery of EF tasks to derive individual task…

Svancara, Austin M.; Kana, Rajesh; Bednarz, Haley; Sherrod, Gabriela; Visscher, Kristina; McManus, Benjamin; Stavrinos, Despina – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may exhibit driving difficulties due to cognitive impairments such as time perception difficulties, a construct related to the perception of time-to-collision (TTC). This study examined the timing abilities of drivers with ASD and ADHD. Sixty…

This study examined the trajectories of autistic symptom severity in an inception cohort of 187 children with ASD assessed across four time points from diagnosis to age 10. Trajectory groups were derived using multivariate cluster analysis. A two trajectory/cluster solution was selected. Change in trajectory slopes revealed a "turning…

Fombonne, Eric; Zuckerman, Katharine E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Black children with autism are diagnosed at an older age. Whether or not late detection is paralleled by differing clinical presentation is not known. We evaluated symptom profiles of 245 Black and 488 sex- and age-matched White non-Hispanic participants (82.8% male; mean age: 4.2 years) referred for ASD diagnosis. Both groups showed similar…

Scheeren, Anke M.; Buil, J. Marieke; Howlin, Patricia; Bartels, Meike; Begeer, Sander – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Research has shown lower rates of employment and independent living in adults with autism. Many of these findings are based on cross-sectional studies, predominantly involving male participants. In a 6-year longitudinal study, we examined determinants of psychosocial outcomes in 917 adults with autism spectrum disorder (425 men, 492 women, mean…

Harriman, Emma; Oyefeso, Adenekan – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Purpose: The concept of Quality of Life (QoL) for people with neurodevelopmental disorders primarily focuses on deinstitutionalisation and community inclusion. This population, however, often presents with comorbid diagnoses and is sectioned to treatment facilities under the Mental Health Act. The aim of this paper is to review the existing…

McKenzie, K.; Russell, A.; Golm, D.; Fairchild, G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This study investigated whether young adults with ASD (n = 29) had impairments in Cognitive Empathy (CE), Affective Empathy (AE) or Empathic Accuracy (EA; the ability to track changes in others' thoughts and feelings) compared to typically-developing individuals (n = 31) using the Empathic Accuracy Task (EAT), which involves watching narrators…

Ramos-Cabo, Sara; Acha, Joana; Vulchanov, Valentin; Vulchanova, Mila – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Evidence shows that the relation with the referent (object manipulation, contact/no contact pointing) and the different hand features (index finger/open palm) when pointing indicate different levels of cognitive and linguistic attainment in typical development (TD). This evidences the close link between pointing, cognition and language…

Shahab, Mojtaba; Taheri, Alireza; Mokhtari, Mohammad; Shariati, Azadeh; Heidari, Rozita; Meghdari, Ali; Alemi, Minoo – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Virtual Reality (VR) technology is a growing technology that has been used in various fields of psychology, education, and therapy. One group of potential users of VR are children with autism who need education and have poor social interactions; this technology could help them improve their social skills through real-world simulation. In this…
