Øien, Roald A.; Vambheim, Sara M.; Hart, Logan; Nordahl-Hansen, Anders; Erickson, Craig; Wink, Logan; Eisemann, Martin R.; Shic, Frederick; Volkmar, Fred R.; Grodberg, David – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
The autism mental status exam is an eight-item observational assessment that structures the way we observe and document signs and symptoms of ASD. Investigations of test performance indicate strong sensitivity and specificity using gold-standard assessment as reference standard. This study aims to explore potential sex differences in AMSE test…

Muratori, Filippo; Tonacci, Alessandro; Billeci, Lucia; Catalucci, Tiziana; Igliozzi, Roberta; Calderoni, Sara; Narzisi, Antonio – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Sensory issues are of great interest in ASD diagnosis. However, their investigation is mainly based on external observation (parent reports), with methodological limitations. Unobtrusive olfactory assessment allows studying autism neurosensoriality. Here, 20 male children with high-functioning ASD and 20 matched controls were administered a…

Kolacz, Jacek; Raspa, Melissa; Heilman, Keri J.; Porges, Stephen W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS), especially those co-diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), face many sensory processing challenges. However, sensory processing measures informed by neurophysiology are lacking. This paper describes the development and psychometric properties of a parent/caregiver report, the Brain-Body Center…

Lortie, Melissa; Proulx-Bégin, Léa; Saint-Amour, Dave; Cousineau, Dominique; Théoret, Hugo; Lepage, Jean-François – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
There is debate whether social impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are truly domain-specific, or if they reflect generalized deficits in lower-level cognitive processes. To solve this issue, we used auditory-evoked EEG responses to assess novelty detection (MMN component) and involuntary attentional orientation (P3 component) induced by…

Moseley, Rachel L.; Druce, Tanya; Turner-Cobb, Julie M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Autistic women often struggle with the onset of menstruation, a key transition point in the female reproductive lifespan. Presently, there is no research investigating how autistic people navigate the menopausal transition, and whether it poses additional challenges in addition to those already faced by neurotypical women. As a preliminary…

Tomchek, Scott D.; Little, Lauren M.; Myers, John; Dunn, Winnie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Given the heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), research has investigated how sensory features elucidate subtypes that enhance our understanding of etiology and tailored treatment approaches. Previous studies, however, have not integrated core developmental behaviors with sensory features in investigations of subtypes in ASD. Therefore,…

Sabatos-DeVito, Maura; Schipul, Sarah E.; Bulluck, John C.; Belger, Aysenil; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study used a gap-overlap paradigm to examine the impact of distractor salience and temporal overlap on the ability to disengage and orient attention in 50 children (4-13 years) with ASD, DD and TD, and associations between attention and sensory response patterns. Results revealed impaired disengagement and orienting accuracy in ASD.…

Donaldson, Chelsea K.; Stauder, Johannes E. A.; Donkers, Franc C. L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Recent studies have suggested that sensory processing atypicalities may share genetic influences with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To further investigate this, the adolescent/adult sensory profile (AASP) questionnaire was distributed to 85 parents of typically developing children (P-TD), 121 parents from simplex ASD families (SPX), and 54…

Wigham, Sarah; Rodgers, Jacqui; South, Mikle; McConachie, Helen; Freeston, Mark – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Sensory processing abnormalities, anxiety and restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRBs) frequently co-occur in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Though the relationship between these phenomena is not well understood, emerging evidence indicates intolerance of uncertainty (IU) may play an important role. This study aimed to determine pathways…

Alkhalifah, Shahad – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2019
Aims: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder associated with intellectual, communicative, and social deficits. Moreover, 42 to 88% of people with ASD present with sensory processing disorders (SPDs) that impact daily functioning. It is, therefore, essential to be able to accurately assess the sensory processing…

Black, Rhonda S.; Tsumoto, Courtney A. – Exceptionality Education International, 2018
Characters with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have become increasingly popular in young adult literature. Using a case-study format, this article describes the communication, sensory, and social characteristics of eight protagonists in award-winning young adult novels. All told in the first person, these novels provide insight for young readers…

Sarrett, Jennifer C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This article builds on the growing body of research on higher education for autistic students by soliciting input from autistic adults on their higher education experiences and suggestions on making these experiences more "autism-friendly." Sixty-six individuals participated in a national exploratory survey and thirty-one participated in…

Weiner, Brad; Grenier, Michelle – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2020
This article presents information on the impact of hyper or hypo-sensory responses and specific strategies that can balance the systems. We examine the five sensory systems (tactile, auditory, visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular), common behaviors associated with each system, and recommend instructional strategies designed to support student…

Howe, Fiona E.; Stagg, Steven D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Sensory processing difficulties are consistently reported amongst individuals with an autistic spectrum condition (ASC); these have a significant impact on daily functioning. Evidence in this area comes from observer reports and first-hand accounts; both have limitations. The current study used the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP; Brown and…

Neil, Louise; Olsson, Nora Choque; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Guided by a recent theory that proposes fundamental differences in how autistic individuals deal with uncertainty, we investigated the extent to which the cognitive construct "intolerance of uncertainty" and anxiety were related to parental reports of sensory sensitivities in 64 autistic and 85 typically developing children aged…
