Direct linkRosen, Nicole E.; Lord, Catherine; Volkmar, Fred R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
In this paper we review the impact of DSM-III and its successors on the field of autism--both in terms of clinical work and research. We summarize the events leading up to the inclusion of autism as a "new" official diagnostic category in DSM-III, the subsequent revisions of the DSM, and the impact of the official recognition of autism…

Lewis, Alan S.; van Schalkwyk, Gerrit Ian – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The prevalence of ASD remains relatively stable across the lifespan, necessitating a quantitative understanding of how intervention clinical research is applied across age groups. Here we report a systematic review of treatment studies between 2013 and 2017, enrolling 11,213 subjects with ASD in 218 studies. Individuals under 18 years old…

Simashkova, Natalya V.; Boksha, Irina S.; Klyushnik, Tatyana P.; Iakupova, Lubov' P.; Ivanov, Mikhail V.; Mukaetova-Ladinska, Elizabeta B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The study describes the latest recommended and adopted clinical and management practice for children and adults with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) in Russia and discusses the most recent research work by Russian clinicians and neuroscientists in the field. The study also presents data from the first epidemiological studies on ASD prevalence and…

Pingitore, Alyssa; Mack, Ashley; Zhang, Justin; Devine, Eric G.; Doerr, Jackson; Denneen, Caroline – Research Ethics, 2022
Incidental findings in research with human participants may have implications for a person's present health or future health outcomes. Current guidelines focus on methods for handling and reporting incidental findings from biological test data but incidental findings might also arise from non-biological tests. This article presents three examples…

Frazier, Thomas W.; Dawson, Geraldine; Murray, Donna; Shih, Andy; Sachs, Jessica Snyder; Geiger, Angela – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Inclusion of stakeholder voices in the allocation of research funding can increase the relevance of results and improve community engagement in research. We describe the results of an online survey that gathered input from community stakeholders regarding autism research priorities. A demographically diverse sample of respondents (N = 6004; 79.1%…

STEM-related educational outreach offers students enriching opportunities to become more familiar with science, in terms of how it relates to their daily lives and with respect to possible career paths that they might want to follow. At the same time, graduate student trainees providing that outreach act as important resources for elementary and…

Hamilton, Jahnese; Ingham, Barry; McKinnon, Iain; Parr, Jeremy R.; Tam, Louise Yuen-Chong; Le Couteur, Ann – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Background: Adults with intellectual disabilities and/or autism are often excluded from participating in health and healthcare research. Understanding study information, which is an important aspect of demonstrating capacity to give informed consent, can be a particular challenge. This study surveyed clinical researchers to discover: (i) their…

Benevides, Teal W.; Lane, Shelly J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for multiple physiological responses, and dysfunction of this system is often hypothesized as contributing to cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses in children. Research suggests that examination of ANS activity may provide insight into behavioral dysregulation in children with autism…

Anderson, George M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Genetic and epigenetic differences exist within monozygote twin-pairs and might be especially important in the expression of autism. Assuming phenotypic differences between monozygotic twins are due to environmental influences may lead to mistaken conclusions regarding the relative genetic and environmental contribution to autism risk.

Chueh, Ho-chia; Chen, Ya-Tung – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2014
Participation in service-learning courses has always been considered a part of the informal education in tertiary education worldwide. Originating from the assumption that service-learning courses increase students' civic engagement and bridge the gap between knowledge and practice, service-learning courses have gradually acquired the status of…

The increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with associated societal and clinical impacts, calls for a broad community-based dialogue on treatment related ethical and social issues. The Stony Brook Guidelines, based on a community dialogue process with affected individuals, families and professionals, identify and discuss the…

Engle, Kelley M. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Researchers in the medical domain consider the double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial the gold standard. The data for these clinical trials are collected for a specifically defined hypothesis and there is very little in the realm of secondary data analyses conducted. The underlying purpose of this work is to demonstrate the value and…

Pellicano, Elizabeth; Dinsmore, Adam; Charman, Tony – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2014
The rise in the measured prevalence of autism has been accompanied by much new research and research investment internationally. This study sought to establish whether the pattern of current UK autism research funding maps on to the concerns of the autism community. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with autistic adults, family members,…

Koritsas, Stella; Iacono, Teresa – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2009
The effects of secondary conditions across adults with autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy were explored in terms of overall limitation in life participation and independence, changes over time, and the degree and nature of limitation in specific secondary conditions. Information was obtained for 35 adults with autism, 49 with Down syndrome,…
