Peters, W. Jason; Matson, Johnny L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
With the publication of DSM-5, many changes were introduced regarding how Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) would be diagnosed. Changes from DSM-IV-TR were controversial, with many arguing that individuals would lose their diagnosis with the new criteria. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in the application of diagnostic criteria…

Davidovitch, Michael; Stein, Nataly; Koren, Gideon; Friedman, Bat Chen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study was designed to track the developmental trajectory, during the first 24 months of life, of 335 low-risk infants later diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and identify early deviations observed in routine Well Care checkups. We compared their achievements to typically developing children and to children later diagnosed with…

Gangi, Devon N.; Boterberg, Sofie; Schwichtenberg, Amy J.; Solis, Erika; Young, Gregory S.; Iosif, Ana-Maria; Ozonoff, Sally – Child Development, 2021
Two independent cohorts (N = 155, N = 126) of infants at high and low risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were followed prospectively between 6 and 36 months of age, when n = 46 were diagnosed with ASD. Gaze to adult faces was coded--during a developmental assessment (Cohort 1) or a play interaction (Cohort 2). Across both cohorts, most…

Zaitoun, Maha; Cumming, Steven; Purcell, Alison; O'Brien, Katie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: This study assesses the impact of patient clinical history on audiologists' performance when interpreting auditory brainstem response (ABR) results. Method: Fourteen audiologists' accuracy in estimating hearing threshold for 16 infants through interpretation of ABR traces was compared on 2 occasions at least 5 months apart. On the 1st…

Demchick, Barbara B.; Flanagan, Joanne; Parete, Taylor; Matteo, Danielle – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2019
It is important to identify Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) early to alleviate its developmental impact. This pilot correlational study aimed to identify subtle differences in play and movement in 6-month-old infants that are associated with a later ASD diagnosis through retrospective home video analysis of six children with ASD and nine typically…

Unwin, Lisa M.; Bruz, Ildiko; Maybery, Murray T.; Reynolds, Victoria; Ciccone, Natalie; Dissanayake, Cheryl; Hickey, Martha; Whitehouse, Andrew J. O. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
There is preliminary evidence that infant siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have an atypical pattern of cry, characterized by higher fundamental frequency and increased dysphonation. This prospective study collected multiple cry samples of 12-month old siblings of children with ASD (n = 22, "high-risk" group) and…

Pijl, Mirjam K. J.; Buitelaar, Jan K.; de Korte, Manon W. P.; Rommelse, Nanda N. J.; Oosterling, Iris J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
The importance of early detection of autism spectrum disorder followed by early intervention is increasingly recognized. This quasi-experimental study evaluated the long-term effects of a program for the early detection of autism spectrum disorder (consisting of training of professionals and use of a referral protocol and screening instrument), to…

Macari, Suzanne L.; Wu, Grace C.; Powell, Kelly K.; Fontenelle, Scuddy, IV; Macris, Deanna M.; Chawarska, Katarzyna – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Given the emphasis on early screening for ASD, it is crucial to examine the concordance between parent report and clinician observation of autism-related behaviors. Similar items were compared from the First Year Inventory (Baranek et al. "First-Year Inventory (FYI) 2.0." University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, 2003), a parent…

We examined associations between child body mass index at 2-5 years and maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, and rapid weight gain during infancy in children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, or population controls. The Study to Explore Early Development is a multi-site case-control study of children,…

Yamashiro, Amy; Vouloumanos, Athena – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Adult humans process communicative interactions by recognizing that information is being communicated through speech (linguistic ability) and simultaneously evaluating how to respond appropriately (social-pragmatic ability). These abilities may originate in infancy. Infants understand how speech communicates in social interactions, helping them…

Swain, Nathaniel Robert; Eadie, Patricia Ann; Prior, Margot Ruth; Reilly, Sheena – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2015
Background: Early identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is currently limited by the absence of reliable biological markers for the disorder, as well as the reliability of screening and assessment tools for children aged between 6 and 18 months. Ongoing research has demonstrated the importance of early social communication skills in…

Pyzio-Kowalik, Magdalena; Wojtowicz, Dorota; Skrzek, Anna – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The aim of this study was to digitally evaluate the incidence and severity of postural asymmetry in infants with Central Coordination Disturbance (CCD) by using a computer-aided podoscope (PodoBaby) from CQ Elektronik System. A sample of 120 infants aged from 3 months (plus or minus 1 week) to 6 months (plus or minus 1 week) took part in the…

This study examined whether a novel parent-report questionnaire, the Autism Parent Screen for Infants, could differentiate infants subsequently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder from a high-risk cohort (siblings of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (n = 66)) from high-risk and low-risk comparison infants (no family history of…

Little, Lauren M.; Wallisch, Anna; Salley, Brenda; Jamison, Rene – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Given that early caregiver concerns may be different for children who go on to receive a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder versus another developmental disability, early caregiver concerns may differ for girls. Using a community-based sample of children (n = 241), we examined the extent to which gender differences may be related to caregiver…

Parladé, Meaghan V.; Iverson, Jana M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
This study evaluated the extent to which developmental change in coordination of social communication in early infancy differentiates children eventually diagnosed with ASD from those not likely to develop the disorder. A prospective longitudinal design was used to compare nine infants at heightened risk for ASD (HR) later diagnosed with ASD, to…
