Our team examined 150 reports on group-design, non-pharmacological interventions for young autistic children, to determine the prevalence of adverse event reporting. We found that only 11 studies mentioned adverse events; one indicated adverse events occurred, and an additional three indicated adverse "effects" occurred (i.e. adverse…

van Dijk, M. W. G.; Buruma, M. E.; Blijd-Hoogewys, E. M. A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Feeding problems are prevalent in children with ASD. We investigated whether the Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS, Ramsay et al. in Pediatrics and Child Health 16:147-151, 2011) can be used for young children with ASD. Participants (1-6 years) were selected from a clinical ASD sample (n = 80) and a general population sample (n =…

Pistoljevic, Nirvana; Dzanko, Eldin; Ghaziuddin, Mohammad – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The aim of this preliminary study was to identify the practice patterns and potential barriers to diagnosing autism in Bosnia & Herzegovina. 126 children aged 23 to 94 months with developmental concerns referred to treatment centers participated in the study. Although parents had reported developmental problems in their children usually around…

Hatch, Burt; Nordahl, Christine Wu; Schwichtenberg, A. J.; Ozonoff, Sally; Miller, Meghan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) is often used to assess sleep in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but little is known about its factor structure in younger children with ASD. We evaluated alternative factor structures and measurement invariance for CSHQ items in 2- to 4-year-olds with ASD or typical development (TD).…

Jimenez-Gomez, Corina; Haggerty, Katherine; Topçuoglu, Basak – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Activity schedules consist of a series of visual discriminative stimuli, arranged in booklets or binders, which function as prompts for appropriate behavior. Although activity schedules are useful, their typical presentation in binders can be cumbersome and stigmatizing, placing additional barriers for independence and inclusion. The purpose of…

Williams, Marian E.; Harley, Eliza K.; Quebles, Irina; Poulsen, Marie Kanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder can be reliably diagnosed prior to age 2, and early, intensive intervention has been found to improve long-term outcomes. Nonetheless, most children with ASD do not receive a diagnosis until after age 3, with even later diagnoses for children from non-white ethnic groups. This study conducted telephone surveys with…

Most children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in resource-limited settings (RLS), are diagnosed after the age of four. Our work confirmed and extended results of Pierce that eye tracking could discriminate between typically developing (TD) children and those with ASD. We demonstrated the initial 15 s was at least as discriminating as the…

Lindly, Olivia J.; Cabral, Jacqueline; Mohammed, Ruqayah; Garber, Ivonne; Mistry, Kamila B.; Kuhlthau, Karen A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Little is known about how parent health literacy contributes to health-related outcomes for children with autism. This mixed-methods study included 82 U.S. parents of a child with autism 2-5 years-old and sought to describe (1) health literacy dimensions, (2) how health literacy influences services use, and (3) health literacy improvement…

Çelikkol Sadiç, Çagla; Bilgiç, Ayhan; Kilinç, Ibrahim; Oflaz, Mehmet Burhan; Baysal, Tamer – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study aimed to investigate the role of leptin, ghrelin, neuropeptide Y, and nesfatin-1 in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A total of 44 children with ASD and 44 healthy controls aged 18-60 months were included. Plasma levels of hormones were measured using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Plasma leptin…

Corona, Laura L.; Wagner, Liliana; Wade, Joshua; Weitlauf, Amy S.; Hine, Jeffrey; Nicholson, Amy; Stone, Caitlin; Vehorn, Alison; Warren, Zachary – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Barriers to identifying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in young children in a timely manner have led to calls for novel screening and assessment strategies. Combining computational methods with clinical expertise presents an opportunity for identifying patterns within large clinical datasets that can inform new assessment paradigms. The present…

McDaniel, Jena; Yoder, Paul; Estes, Annette; Rogers, Sally J. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The Early Communication Indicator (ECI) was designed to measure expressive communication progress in young children. We evaluated using the 6-min ECI procedure for a new purpose--a sampling context for stable measures of vocal development of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We evaluated how many ECI sessions were required to…

Lin, Yun-Nung; Iao, Lai-Sang; Lee, Yu-Han; Wu, Chin-Chin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This longitudinal study examined the transactional relations between parenting stress and both internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) over 1.5 years using a cross-lagged panel analysis. Participants included 75 young children with ASD (Time 1; mean age = 25.68 months) and their…

Content validity describes the extent to which a measure represents, and is relevant to, the construct it aims to assess. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and derived Core/Code Sets (Sets) for autism, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, cerebral palsy and early developmental delay and disability are…

We examined the effects of the least-to-most prompting (LTM) procedure with contingent imitation (CI) on increasing the frequency and diversity of pretend play in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using a multiple probe across toy sets single-case research design. Three children with ASD ages 5 to 6 years took part in the study. LTM was…

Teaching procedures that facilitate the emergence of novel responses allow for increased efficiency, which is critical when providing early-intervention services to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Three 5- and 6-year-old children diagnosed with ASD participated. In Experiment 1, we demonstrated functional control over the effects of…
