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…

Schertz, Hannah H.; Odom, Samuel L.; Baggett, Baggett M.; Sideris, John H. – Grantee Submission, 2016
Toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were assessed on the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R), which we found to have acceptable internal consistency. Stereotypical subscale scores showed a negligible association with cognitive level, but correlated more strongly with adaptive and social indicators. Relative to earlier reported RBS-R…

Turner-Brown, Lauren M.; Baranek, Grace T.; Reznick, J Steven; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2013
The First Year Inventory is a parent-report measure designed to identify 12-month-old infants at risk for autism spectrum disorder. First Year Inventory taps behaviors that indicate risk in the developmental domains of sensory--regulatory and social--communication functioning. This longitudinal study is a follow-up of 699 children at 3 years of…
