González-Domenech, Pablo José; Díaz Atienza, Francisco; Pablos, Carlos García; Soto, María Luisa Fernández; Martínez-Ortega, José María; Gutiérrez-Rojas, Luis – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The use of alternative interventions, such as gluten-free and casein-free (GFCF) diets, is frequent due to limited therapies for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our aims were to determine the influence of a GFCF diet on behavior disorders in children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD and the potential association with urinary beta-casomorphin…

Montazeri, Farhad; de Bildt, Annelies; Dekker, Vera; Anderson, George M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Depression-, anxiety-, OCD- and autism-related behaviors were assessed in 118 high-functioning individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and in 2016 controls. The ASD group had a higher rate of clinical depression and markedly higher "insomnia" and "restlessness" scores. Network analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis…

Garrick, Alice; Lee, Marie L.; Scarffe, Carrington; Attwood, Tony; Furley, Kirsten; Bellgrove, Mark A.; Johnson, Beth P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Parents of children with ASD who had attended an Australian emergency department (ED; n = 421) completed a questionnaire relating to their experiences in the ED, including (1) child's reason for presentation and existing comorbidities, (2) quality of care during the visit (3) child's behaviour during visit, e.g. sensory responses to the ED…

Crow, Andrew J. D.; Janssen, Jennica M.; Vickers, Kayci L.; Parish-Morris, Julia; Moberg, Paul J.; Roalf, David R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Olfactory dysfunction is recognized in neurodevelopmental disorders and may serve as an early indicator of global dysfunction. The present meta-analysis measures olfaction effect sizes in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Meta-analysis included 320 ADHD, 346…

Baker, Bruce L.; Blacher, Jan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Disruptive behavior disorders and social skills were assessed in 187 youth aged 13 years, with typical cognitive development (TD n = 98), intellectual disability (ID n = 37), autism spectrum disorder (ASD, IQ > = 85, n = 26), or Autism Spectrum Disorder with ID (ASD/ID; IQ < 85, n = 26). The primary question was whether youth with ASD and…

Harriman, Emma; Oyefeso, Adenekan – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2022
Purpose: The concept of Quality of Life (QoL) for people with neurodevelopmental disorders primarily focuses on deinstitutionalisation and community inclusion. This population, however, often presents with comorbid diagnoses and is sectioned to treatment facilities under the Mental Health Act. The aim of this paper is to review the existing…

Melo, Cláudia; Ruano, Luís; Jorge, Joana; Pinto Ribeiro, Tiago; Oliveira, Guiomar; Azevedo, Luís; Temudo, Teresa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Stereotypies are frequently reported in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) but remain one of the less explained phenomena. We aimed to describe, through a systematic review and a meta-analysis, the prevalence of motor stereotypies in ASD and study the factors that influence this prevalence. Our literature search included MEDLINE, Scopus,…

Neo, Wei Siong; Tonnsen, Bridgette L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Children with neurogenetic syndromes (NGS) experience comorbid challenging behaviors and psychopathology. We examined challenging behaviors in 86 toddlers and preschoolers across three NGS [Angelman syndrome (AS), Prader--Willi syndrome (PWS), and Williams syndrome (WS)] and 43 low-risk controls (LRC), using the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages…

Failla, Michelle D.; Schwartz, Kyle L.; Chaganti, Shikha; Cutting, Laurie E.; Landman, Bennett A.; Cascio, Carissa J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder experience a significant number of co-occurring medical conditions, yet little is known about these conditions beyond prevalence. Using large-scale de-identified medical records, we can use a novel phecode-based tool to characterize co-occurring conditions in autism spectrum disorder. We hypothesized that…

Mayes, Susan D.; Calhoun, Susan L.; Baweja, Raman; Waschbusch, Daniel A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
No study has analyzed the relative occurrence of a broad range of symptoms reported by mothers of children with autism, ADHD-Combined, and ADHD-Inattentive and typical controls. Mothers rated 1436 children with autism, 1056 with ADHD without autism, and 186 controls, 2-17 years, on 41 internalizing, externalizing, neurodevelopmental, and somatic…

Williams, Vivian C. – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2021
Social stories are effective interventions that can be used to manage negative behaviors and develop social skills. However, contradictory results are suggested within the research because of variability in designing social stories, intervention phases, target behaviors, and treatment protocol. Social story interventions may reduce negative…

O'Donoghue, Elizabeth M.; Pogge, David L.; Harvey, Philip D. – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Introduction: Features of intellectual disability (ID) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may hinder responsiveness to interventions typically used during psychiatric hospitalization to manage severely disruptive behavior, and could increase the likelihood of experiencing restraint and/or seclusion (R/S). This study investigated the occurrence…

Thomason, Molly Mishler; McCarthy, John; Goin-Kochel, Robin P.; Dowell, Lauren R.; Schaaf, Christian P.; Berry, Leandra N. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Truncating variants of the "MAGEL2" gene, one of the protein-coding genes within the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) critical region on chromosome 15q11, cause Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS)--a neurodevelopmental disorder that shares several clinical features with PWS. The current study sought to characterize the neurobehavioral phenotype of SYS…
