Chen, Yun-Ju; Sideris, John; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T. – Child Development, 2022
This prospective study examined the latent growth trajectories of sensory patterns among a North Carolina birth cohort (N = 1517; 49% boys, 87% White) across infancy (6-19 months), preschool (3-4 years), and school years (6-7 years). Change rates of sensory hyper- and hyporesponsiveness better differentiated children with an autism diagnosis or…

Grzadzinski, Rebecca; Donovan, Kevin; Truong, Kinh; Nowell, Sallie; Lee, Helen; Sideris, John; Turner-Brown, Lauren; Baranek, Grace T.; Watson, Linda R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often display atypical sensory reactivity within the first years of life, prior to a diagnosis. This study examined sensory reactivity patterns at 14 months, changes from 14 to 23 months, and later ASD severity at 3 to 5 years of age in children (n = 87) at elevated likelihood of ASD. Results indicated…

Lee, Helen Y.; Vigen, Cheryl; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Bryson, Susan; Smith, Isabel; Brian, Jessica; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Turner-Brown, Lauren; Reznick, J. Steven; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
This study examined the performance of the First Year Inventory (FYI; version 2.0), a community-normed parent-reported screening instrument, in a high-risk (HR) sample of 12-month-olds with older siblings diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The FYI 2.0 was completed by parents of 86 HR infants and 35 low-risk control infants at age…

Baranek, Grace T.; Woynaroski, Tiffany G.; Nowell, Sallie; Brown, Lauren Turner; DuBay, Michaela; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Watson, Linda R. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Recent work suggests sensory seeking predicts later social symptomatology through reduced social orienting in infants who are at high-risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on their status as younger siblings of children diagnosed with ASD. We drew on extant longitudinal data from a community sample of at-risk infants who were identified at…

Watson, Linda R.; Patten, Elena; Baranek, Grace T.; Poe, Michele; Boyd, Brian A.; Freuler, Ashley; Lorenzi, Jill – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose: To examine patterns of sensory responsiveness (i.e., hyperresponsiveness, hyporesponsiveness, and sensory seeking) as factors that may account for variability in social-communicative symptoms of autism and variability in language, social, and communication skill development in children with autism or other developmental disabilities…

Baranek, Grace T.; David, Fabian J.; Poe, Michele D.; Stone, Wendy L.; Watson, Linda R. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2006
Background: This study describes a new caregiver-report assessment, the Sensory Experiences Questionnaire (SEQ), and explicates the nature of sensory patterns of hyper- and hyporesponsiveness, their prevalence, and developmental correlates in autism relative to comparison groups. Method: Caregivers of 258 children in five diagnostic groups…
