Direct linkHsu, Yuu-Hueih; Chen, Chi-Wen; Lin, Yuh-Jyh; Li, Chung-Yi – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is reportedly more prevalent in urban areas partly because of better accessibility and affordability to healthcare. With universal health insurance coverage in Taiwan, a previous study has shown no urban-rural disparity in the utilization rate of a child's preventive healthcare.

An additional 14.5% were classified as having a broader-autism-phenotype outcome. Sensitivity…

Villegas-Lirola, Francisco – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is socially relevant because of its number and the intensity of the medical and socio-educational response it requires. In Andalusia, one in 70 children will be diagnosed with ASD in 2021. It is much more frequent in boys than in girls, being 5.91 times more likely to present it as a boy than as a girl. The age of…

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is unique among areas of eligibility for students with disabilities in federal special education legislation, not in what is assessed, but why the assessment is taking place. If not for the injury, most individuals with TBI would be unlikely to come to the attention of special educators. Few education training programs…

Nimmo-Smith, Victoria; Heuvelman, Hein; Dalman, Christina; Lundberg, Michael; Idring, Selma; Carpenter, Peter; Magnusson, Cecilia; Rai, Dheeraj – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Anxiety is common in children with ASD; however, the burden of specific anxiety disorders for adults with ASD is under-researched. Using the Stockholm Youth Cohort, we compared anxiety disorder diagnoses among autistic adults (n = 4049), with or without intellectual disability, and population controls (n = 217,645). We conducted additional sibling…

This study of 67 school-age autistic boys (M = 11.7 years, SD = 2.3 years) examined several factors that may contribute to SR. Data regarding boys' age,…
