Leung – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
Epidemiological studies on autism lack representation from Asia. We estimated the prevalence of autism among children and youths in Hong Kong using a two-stage approach. In addition, we evaluated the psychometric properties of the screening instrument and explored sex differences within an epidemiological context. A random school-based sample of…

Cheek, Connor L.; Garcia, Jessica L.; Mehta, Paras D.; Francis, David J.; Grigorenko, Elena L. – Exceptional Children, 2023
Twice-exceptionality (2e), broadly defined as the co-occurrence of a gift or talent and a disability, has been a part of the educational lexicon since the 1990s, although its empirical backing is limited. We conducted a comprehensive review of the empirical literature on 2e and created a simulation study of 2e. For the latter, we constructed…

Herkert, Darby; Sullivan, Connor; Zhu, YiQin; Dawson, Geraldine – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children be screened for autism at 18 and 24 months. It is unknown whether a positive screen usually represents the first developmental concern or is typically preceded by other developmental and/or medical concerns. This study evaluated the proportions of toddlers (M = 18.69 months) who screened…
