Using data from the Study to Explore Early Development, a large multi-site case-control study, the analyses included 2,963 children aged 2–5 years with ASD, other developmental disabilities (DD group), and a population-based control group (POP). Percentages of index children with older siblings with select developmental, psychiatric, and neurologic conditions were estimated and compared across index child study groups using chi-square tests and multivariable modified Poisson regression. In adjusted analyses, children in the ASD group were significantly more likely than children in the POP group to have one or more older siblings with ASD, developmental delay, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disability, sensory integration disorder (SID), speech/language delays, or a psychiatric diagnosis (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] range: 1.4–3.7). Children in the DD group were significantly more likely than children in the POP group to have an older sibling with most of the aforementioned conditions, except for intellectual disability and psychiatric diagnosis (aPR range: 1.4–2.2). Children in the ASD group were significantly more likely than children in the DD group to have one or more older siblings with ASD, developmental delay, SID, or a psychiatric diagnosis (aPR range: 1.4–1.9). These findings suggest that developmental disorders cluster in families. Increased monitoring and screening for ASD and other DDs may be warranted when an older sibling has a DD diagnosis or symptoms.

Parents of Autistic children face additional challenges, and as a result can experience lower levels of wellbeing and more mental health problems (i.e., depression, anxiety, stress). Previous studies have identified concurrent correlates of wellbeing and mental health. However, few have investigated predictors of subsequent wellbeing and mental health, or of change over time, among parents of pre-school aged autistic children. We examined child-, parent-, and family/sociodemographic factors associated with change in parents’ mental health and wellbeing across three timepoints (spanning approximately one year) among 53 parents of Autistic pre-schoolers (M = 35.48, SD = 6.36 months. At each timepoint, parents reported lower wellbeing and greater mental health difficulties compared to normative data. There was no significant group-level change over time in parent outcomes. However, individual variability in short-term (~ 5 months) wellbeing and mental health change was predicted by a combination of child- and parent-related factors, while variability in medium-term (~ 10 months) change was predicted by parent factors alone. Parents’ description of their child and their relationship predicted change in both wellbeing and mental health. Furthermore, participating in a parent-mediated intervention (available to a subgroup) was a significant predictor of change in wellbeing. Our findings highlight potentially modifiable factors (e.g., learning healthier coping strategies) that may positively impact both short- and medium-term change in parental outcomes.

Caregiver Perspectives on Telehealth Assessment and Other Supports for Infants with Early Developmental Concerns / Daltrey SCHMIDT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-11 (November 2025) . - p.3811-3821 Titre : Caregiver Perspectives on Telehealth Assessment and Other Supports for Infants with Early Developmental Concerns Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daltrey SCHMIDT, Auteur ; Chloe URIAS, Auteur ; Sarah DUFEK, Auteur ; Meagan R. TALBOTT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3811-3821 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the experiences of families of children with developmental concerns in the first year of life, before formal diagnostic evaluations are typically conducted. We aimed to understand the impact of participation in a telehealth-based research evaluation in infancy, identify existing community-based supports perceived favorably by caregivers, and identify suggestions for future directions. Participants were recruited from an prior study evaluating a telehealth assessment for infants with early social communication delays. Here, we interviewed caregivers (n = 19) who participated in follow-up study in toddlerhood. Transcripts from the semi-structured interviews were transcribed and analyzed using both inductive thematic and content coding approaches. Analysis of these interviews resulted in four core themes describing caregiving during this time: (1) Caregivers felt lonely, overwhelmed, and dismissed by providers, leading to feelings of uncertainty about their child’s development and future; (2) Telehealth assessments were appreciated because external supports are minimal, complex to navigate, and do not address all areas of need; (3) Desire for additional community and connection; and (4) Information is power. Caregivers reported participating in the telehealth assessments helped them to feel reassured, validated and supported. Outside the study, they sought a wide variety of services and resources. The most frequent requests were for parent coaching sessions and family navigation. Caregivers experienced uncertainty and disempowerment during the pre-diagnostic period and sought education and guidance during this time. Findings reflect the importance of centering family priorities when developing early intervention services for infants with elevated likelihood of autism.

GORDON, Auteur ; Molly LOSH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3822-3837 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Narrative is an important communication skill for sharing personal experiences and connecting with others. Narrative skills are often impacted in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and have important consequences for social interactions and relationships. Subtle differences in narrative have also been reported among first-degree relatives of autistic individuals, suggesting that narrative may also be an etiologically important language-related skill that is influenced by genes associated with ASD. This study examined narrative ability and related visual attention during narration in ASD and first-degree relatives of individuals with ASD (siblings and parents) to understand how narrative and related attentional styles may be variably impacted across the spectrum of ASD genetic influence. Participants included 56 autistic individuals, 42 siblings of autistic individuals, 49 controls, 161 parents of autistic individuals, and 61 parent controls. Narratives were elicited using a wordless picture book presented on an eye tracker to record concurrent gaze. Findings revealed parallel patterns of narrative differences among ASD and sibling groups in the use of causal language to connect story elements and the use of cognitive and affective language. More subtle differences within the domain of causal language were evident in ASD parents. Parallel patterns in the ASD and sibling groups were also found for gaze during narration. Findings implicate causal language as a critical narrative skill that is impacted in ASD and may be reflective of ASD genetic influence in relatives. Gaze patterns during narration suggest similar attentional mechanisms associated with narrative among ASD families.

Development and Psychometric Examination of a New Social Competence Outcome Measure for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Observational Social Competence Assessment / Ming-Hsuan LIU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

This study aimed to develop a professional-administrated outcome measure, the Observational Social Competence Assessment (OSCA), and examine its psychometric properties. The OSCA was constructed based on a multidimensional view of social competence (i.e., social skill elements, social reciprocity, and social adjustment). For psychometric evaluation, 89 children with ASD between 3 and 12 years (mean = 70.69 months, SD = 15.31) were assessed with the OSCA and with assessments of ASD symptoms, verbal comprehension ability, and adaptive function. The results show that the OSCA has good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.820–0.954), test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients [ICC] = 0.917–0.960), and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.905–0.974). The OSCA also has good convergent (r = 0.508–0.703, p < 0.01) and divergent validity (r = 0.105, p = 0.496), as well as good responsiveness to changes in the social adjustment dimension (Cohen’s d = 1.26 and standardized response mean [SRM] = 1.92). Conclusively, these results show that the OSCA is sufficiently reliable, valid and responsive to be applied as an outcome measure of social competence in children with ASD.

All individuals diagnosed before 30th April 2018 with ASD (n = 12,063) and a 5% random sample of the general population (n = 41,251) were drawn from Danish registers of the birth cohorts 1984–1995. For each of the entire spectrum of 13 PD categories, participants were followed from birth to first diagnosis, death, emigration, or 31st December 2017, whichever came first. Time from inclusion at birth to time of first physical diagnosis, accounting for censoring, was studied by use of time-stratified Cox models. When compared to the control sample, the individuals with ASD had a substantial added immediate risk in infancy and in childhood for 12 of the 13 categories. Particularly prominent were estimated associations for nervous system diseases at ages 0–9, and diseases of the eye and adnexa at ages 0–11. The associations were observed for both sexes, but were stronger among females than males, especially for genitourinary system diseases. On the cumulative scale, individuals with ASD were at pronounced greater risk through follow-up for 8 categories, with the greatest cumulative risk of respiratory system diseases, which at ages 5 and 30 was 24.9% and 41.5% for the ASD cohort while for the control sample it was 16.3% and 34.5% at the same ages.

Reviewers used Covidence to screen located sources. Sixteen papers met inclusion criteria. A strong acceleration of reports of PLT for young autistic children measured in bilingual environments was observed, with 93.8% of papers (n = 15) published since 2015. Reporting of participants’ language environments (home language(s)/L1s and societal language(s)/L2s) was inconsistent. A large majority of these studies, 87.5% (n = 14) were conducted in North America or in collaboration with a North American institution. Diverse PLT programs and methodologies were identified. There is variation in demographic information collected and outcomes reported. Evidence gaps in the literature are identified and the value of undertaking systematic review on this topic is considered. This scoping review points to the necessity of further empirical research and practice that centres parents in early and specific support for autistic children raised in bilingual environments. Suggestions for improving reporting standards of language profiles are provided.

This scoping review points to the necessity of further empirical research and practice that centres parents in early and specific support for autistic children raised in bilingual environments. Suggestions for improving reporting standards of language profiles are provided.

Sex Differences and Parent–Teacher Discrepancies in Reports of Autism Traits: Evidence for Camouflaging in a School Setting / Orla C. PUTNAM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-11 (November 2025) . - p.3888-3899 Titre : Sex Differences and Parent–Teacher Discrepancies in Reports of Autism Traits: Evidence for Camouflaging in a School Setting Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Orla C. PUTNAM, Auteur ; Tyler C. MCFAYDEN, Auteur ; Clare HARROP, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3888-3899 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to examine sex differences and informant discrepancies in parent- and teacher-reports of autism traits. Data were drawn from the Simons Simplex Collection to create a sex-matched sample of autistic youth (N = 388; 4–17 years). Included participants had both parent and teacher reports of autistic traits from the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Within each sex group, parent and teacher raw SRS scores were compared. Scores within each informant group (parent/teacher) was assessed for sex differences. Predictors of parent–teacher discrepancies were examined. Despite no sex differences in parent-reported autistic traits, teachers reported males as having more autistic traits compared to females. Parents of females reported significantly more autistic traits than teachers across multiple domains. Being older and female were significant predictors of increased parent–teacher discrepancy for multiple domains. These results suggest discrepancies between the observed autistic traits for females at home and school and builds on the growing body of literature highlighting potential camouflaging across development in autistic youth: parent–teacher discrepancies may reflect ways that autistic females are overlooked by teachers due to conscious changes in behavior or gender-based expectations of female characteristics. Discussion of discrepancies on an individual basis may therefore alleviate potential long-term consequences of camouflaging.

However, some practitioners routinely employ unvalidated interventions more frequently than EBPs, signaling the presence of a research-to-practice gap. The current review investigated the degree to which single-case research studies with social communication outcomes for elementary-aged students with autism included details on variables that may impact the adoption and implementation of EBPs in practice. The results suggest limited reporting of variables that aid decision-making in the adoption and implementation of EBPs. Limited reporting can negatively impact uptake and fidelity and, therefore, student outcomes. Suggestions are made to improve researchers’ reporting of the critical components of EBPs that will facilitate adoption and implementation by practitioners.

In this systematic review, we included 12 studies exploring the experience of stigma among people with ASD+ID and/or their caregivers. Our aim was to better understand this experience, but also to explore the strategies used to cope with stigma in this population. Our results confirmed that people with ASD+ID and their caregivers experience at least low to moderate levels of stigma, and that this experience is modulated by internal and external factors (such as parental age, mindfulness traits, ASD symptoms…). In addition, our results show the impact of stigma on community integration, psychological well-being and help-seeking behaviour. The role of family, friends and professional support, as well as the formation of networks to share information, appear in our results to be protective factors against stigma. To our knowledge, this study is the first systematic review to examine the stigmatisation of people with ASD+ID and/or their caregivers. Further research is needed to understand the perspective of people with ASD+ID themselves and to explore other factors that modulate this experience, in particular gender and ethnicity.

From Survival to Growth - The Coping Experience of Mothers of Children with Disabilities During a Global Crisis: The Case of COVID-19 / Yael HOCHMAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 mothers. The data were thematically analyzed to gain in-depth understanding of their coping experiences. The findings indicated that COVID-related restrictions disrupted the family routine and added a significant burden for the mothers as primary caregivers, and for the family system as a whole. Three distinct types of coping experiences arose from the analysis: surviving the crisis, controlling the crisis, and growing out of the crisis. Three key elements differentiated these three types: the perceptions of the meaning of the pandemic for parental roles and of the response of the education and welfare systems to the children’s needs – in routine and during COVID-19; coping with the different pandemic challenges; and the implications of both COVID-19 and the mothers’ coping strategies for the functional and emotional status of their children, themselves, and family relations. The results are discussed in light of models of family stress and coping, focusing on the tension between the mothers’ caregiving role and maternal roles as warranting particular attention by professionals and policymakers.

Most research on SIs has focused on the subject matter of SIs, with less focus on understanding how youth engage in their SIs. We conducted a qualitative study using inductive content analysis (ICA) to examine: (1) The modalities youth use to engage in their SIs, (2) the degree to which such modalities are described by caregivers as adaptive or maladaptive, and (3) the extent to which the SIs themselves are described by caregivers positively or negatively. We coded responses from 1922 caregivers of autistic youths who completed an online version of the Special Interests Survey, a caregiver-report measure of SIs. Responses to open-ended questions on the SIS, wherein caregivers describe the specific interest within the endorsed SI category, were used as data for the ICA. Frequencies of the codes were derived from cross-tabulation data. The ICA yielded eight modalities: perseverating, creating, information-seeking, memorizing, collecting, attachment, sensory-seeking, and self-soothing. Perseverating, collecting, and attachment were described as maladaptive and negatively by caregivers, whereas creating and information-seeking were described as adaptive. SIs with the greatest proportion of positive and negative descriptions were Plants and Objects, respectively. These findings suggest that SIs - and the degree to which they are described as beneficial or problematic - may be associated with modality and the subject matter. Considering how autistic individuals engage in SIs has implications for clinical work and future research in this area.

In all, 7,593 children who were born between 1996 and 2010 in Taiwan and had at least one parent with major depressive disorder and 75,930 birth-year- and sex-matched children of parents without major depressive disorder were followed from 1996 or time of birth to the end of 2011. Intergroup differences in neurodevelopmental conditions—including ASD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), tic disorder, developmental delay, and intellectual disability (ID)—were assessed. Compared with the children in the control group, the children of parents with major depression were more likely [hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence interval (CI)] to develop ADHD (1.98, 1.80–2.18), ASD (1.52, 1.16–1.94), tic disorder (1.40, 1.08–1.81), developmental delay (1.32, 1.20–1.45), and ID (1.26, 1.02–1.55). Parental depression was associated with offspring neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically ASD, ADHD, developmental delay, ID, and tic disorder. Therefore, clinicians should closely monitor the neurodevelopmental conditions of children of parents with depression.

Autistic Characteristics, Cognitive Impairment, and Sex as Predictors of Anxiety and Depression among Autistic Youth / Erin E. LONG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-11 (November 2025) . - p.4018-4032 Titre : Autistic Characteristics, Cognitive Impairment, and Sex as Predictors of Anxiety and Depression among Autistic Youth Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Erin E. LONG, Auteur ; Mary F. JOHNSON, Auteur ; Laura A. CARPENTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4018-4032 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although it is well established that autistic youth are at high risk for anxiety and depression, factors associated with heightened risk within this population are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether autistic characteristics and cognitive impairment interact to predict anxiety and depression symptoms, and whether the impacts of autistic characteristics and cognitive impairment on anxiety and depression differ for male and female children. Participants comprised 7989 youth (M = 11.23 years) enrolled in SPARK, a national cohort of autistic individuals. Autistic characteristics were assessed via the Social Communication Questionnaire. Anxiety and depression were assessed via the Child Behavior Checklist. Linear regressions were conducted to examine associations between autistic characteristics, cognitive impairment, and symptoms and to test for interactions. The effect of parent-reported autistic characteristics on anxiety was stronger for males than for females, while the effect of cognitive impairment on anxiety was stronger for females than for males. A different pattern was observed for depression. The effect of autistic characteristics on depression was the same for males and females, while cognitive impairment was not associated with depression per parent report. Findings indicate that both male and female children with high levels of autistic characteristics are susceptible to experiencing anxiety and depression, and that autistic female children with intact cognitive abilities are uniquely vulnerable to experiencing anxiety based on parent report. Results have implications for the prevention of internalizing problems in autistic youth, and highlight future directions for longitudinal work examining mechanisms of comorbidity.

Developmental Impacts of Early Sensory Patterns on School-Age Adaptive, Maladaptive, and Participation Outcomes in Autistic and Non-autistic Children / Yun-Ju CHEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the longitudinal impacts of sensory patterns, including sensory hyperresponsiveness, hyporesponsiveness, and sensory repetitions/seeking behavior, on various school-age outcome domains among a community sample of children with autistic and non-autistic conditions. We prospectively followed 1,517 children with caregiver-reported sensory questionnaires across three timepoints from infancy to school age. A subsample (n = 389; 88 with reported autism diagnosis/concerns) was further assessed with adaptive, maladaptive and participation outcome measures at age 6–7. Structural equation modeling approaches were used to evaluate the multivariate associations between latent growth parameters (i.e., intercepts and slopes) of sensory patterns and school-age outcomes. Increasing sensory hyperresponsiveness was directly associated with poorer adaptive/maladaptive outcomes and indirectly with lower participation in activities with higher functional demands across settings at school age. Elevated sensory hyporesponsiveness was associated with lower adaptive functioning, more externalizing problems, and lower classroom participation. Trajectories of sensory patterns accounted for more unique variances in adaptive functioning and participation in daily life settings with higher functional and environmental demands among autistic children compared to their non-autistic peers.

Re-Evaluating the Appropriateness of the “Don’t Know” Response Option: Guessing Rate as a Source of Systematic Error on Autism Knowledge Assessments / Camilla M. MCMAHON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

The inclusion of this response option may lead to systematic error, such that participants’ guessing rate affects the measurement of their autism knowledge. This study examines both predictors of guessing rate for autism knowledge and predictors of autism knowledge, including guessing rate. School-based professionals (n = 396) completed the Autism Spectrum Knowledge Scale Professional Version-Revised (ASKSP-R; McClain et al, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 50(3):998–1006, 2020). and the Autism Stigma and Knowledge Questionnaire (ASK-Q; Harrison et al, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 47(10):3281–3295, 2017). Both assessments include “don’t know” as a response option. Guessing rate was the strongest predictor of autism knowledge across both the ASKSP-R and the ASK-Q assessments. For the ASKSP-R, participants who were school psychologists, practicing for more years, had more autism-related clinical experiences, and who personally knew an autistic person had a higher guessing rate. School psychologists and participants who worked with more autistic students scored higher in autism knowledge. For the ASK-Q, participants with greater self-perceived autism knowledge had a higher guessing rate. Participants with a doctorate degree, who personally knew an autistic person, and who worked with more autistic students scored higher in autism knowledge. Guessing rate can be a source of systematic error on autism knowledge assessments. Potential solutions to correct for guessing rate are examined and recommended for future use.

STORCH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4057-4067 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose: Examine the concurrent validity of specific Anxiety Disorders Section of the Anxiety Disorder Interview Schedule for DSM-IV-Autism Spectrum Addendum (ADIS-ASA)-Parent Interview in a sample of 167 autistic youth who met diagnostic criteria for an anxiety-related disorder (Mage = 9.91; 78.4% male; 82% non-Hispanic; 77.67% White). Methods: Concurrent validity of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-defined ADIS-ASA anxiety disorder diagnostic caseness was examined via relations with (a) parent-reported dimensions of youth anxiety symptomology and (b) dimensional measures of youth anxiety-related functional impairment, respectively, using logistic regression models and point-biserial correlations. Results: Significant relations were found between separation anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder (but not generalized anxiety disorder nor obsessive-compulsive disorder) caseness, respectively, and theoretically consistent facets of dimensional youth anxiety symptomology. Relations between ADIS-ASA diagnostic caseness and youth functional impairment-related variables revealed that only separation anxiety disorder demonstrated robust evidence of convergent validity. Conclusion: Despite mixed findings concerning relations between ADIS-ASA anxiety disorder diagnostic caseness and dimensional measures of anxiety severity and anxiety-related impairment, the present findings provide further support for the status of the ADIS-ASA as a gold standard for assessment of anxiety in autistic youth. This work also highlights the importance of continuing to improve precision in measurement of anxiety symptomology in autistic youth, with implications for clinical assessment.

The current study compared scores on the Social Responsiveness Scale-Second Edition (SRS-2) Preschool Form between the US standardization sample (n = 247) and a Canadian cohort of preschool-aged children (n = 595) recruited from the Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) study. In the MIREC sample, we examined whether ASD-like traits are correlated with sociodemographic characteristics and child intellectual abilities, and how maternal ratings of social skills assessed by the SRS-2 are associated with maternal ratings of general problem behaviors. Mean total SRS-2 raw score was significantly lower in the MIREC sample (mean = 29.7, SD = 15.8) compared to the US standardization sample (mean = 41.9, SD = 26.0). Total raw score in the US standardization sample did not significantly differ between males (mean = 40.6, SD = 23.1) and females (mean = 42.8, SD = 28.7), whereas in the MIREC sample the total raw score was significantly higher among males (mean = 33.0, SD = 17.1) than females (mean = 26.6, SD = 13.9). A significantly larger proportion of the MIREC sample was White, younger in age, and had more educated parents compared to the US standardization sample. ASD-like traits were correlated with lower intellectual abilities, a less enriched home environment, more behavioral problems, and poorer adaptive skills. SRS-2 Preschool Form scores were significantly lower in the Canadian sample compared to the US standardization sample, which may reflect demographic differences between the two groups.

Autism Severity, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and Oral Health: A Comparative Study of Adolescents in the United States / Jesse J. HELTON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

HELTON, Auteur ; Cathy KOETTING, Auteur ; Rebecca KRONK, Auteur ; Vibol KONG, Auteur ; Yunyoung Sophia KIM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4081-4091 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Dental health significantly influences overall child physical well-being, academic success, and psychosocial development. This paper explores the intersection of a range of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) functionality, multiple types of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and dental health in adolescents. The purpose is to investigate the independent and interactive effects of ASD severity and ACEs on dental outcomes. Data from the 2018 and 2019 National Surveys of Children’s Health were analyzed, focusing on 28,263 adolescents (ages 11–17). Logistic regressions assessed associations between ASD severity (mild, moderate, severe), cumulative number of ACEs, and dental outcomes (teeth condition, cavities or bleeding gums, check-ups, cleanings). Covariates included demographic and socioeconomic factors. Controlling for covariates, severe autism independently increased the odds of poor teeth (odds ratio = 6.17), cavities or bleeding gums (OR = 3.76), no previous year check-up(OR = 2.94), and no previous year cleaning (OR = 4.20). Higher ACE scores also independently increased the odds of all dental outcomes. Interactions revealed a cumulative effect of multiple ACEs on poor dental outcomes only for adolescents with severe levels of autism. This study illuminates the heightened vulnerability of adolescents with severe autism and a history of ACEs, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. Multidisciplinary strategies integrating dental care and mental health support within tailored interventions are crucial for improving dental health and access for older youth with low functioning autism. While these findings provide valuable insights, the cross-sectional design and reliance on parental reports necessitate cautious interpretation.

Controlling for covariates, severe autism independently increased the odds of poor teeth (odds ratio = 6.17), cavities or bleeding gums (OR = 3.76), no previous year check-up(OR = 2.94), and no previous year cleaning (OR = 4.20). Higher ACE scores also independently increased the odds of all dental outcomes. Interactions revealed a cumulative effect of multiple ACEs on poor dental outcomes only for adolescents with severe levels of autism. This study illuminates the heightened vulnerability of adolescents with severe autism and a history of ACEs, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. Multidisciplinary strategies integrating dental care and mental health support within tailored interventions are crucial for improving dental health and access for older youth with low functioning autism. While these findings provide valuable insights, the cross-sectional design and reliance on parental reports necessitate cautious interpretation.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Autism and ADHD / Susan D. MAYES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-11 (November 2025) . - p.4092-4105 Titre : Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Autism and ADHD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Susan D. MAYES, Auteur ; Sara K. PARDEJ, Auteur ; Daniel A. WASCHBUSCH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4092-4105 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Our study compared oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in children with autism to ADHD-Combined presentation and ADHD-Inattentive presentation. Mothers of 2,400 children 3–17 years old with autism and/or ADHD completed the Pediatric Behavior Scale. ADHD-Combined was most strongly associated with ODD, with an ODD prevalence of 53% in children with ADHD-Combined only. When autism was added to ADHD-Combined, prevalence increased to 62% and the ODD score increased significantly. Autism+ADHD-Inattentive, Autism Only, and ADHD-Inattentive Only had ODD prevalences of 28%, 24% and 14%. In each diagnostic group, ODD had the same two factors (irritable/angry and oppositional/defiant); demographic differences between children with and without ODD were few; and correlations between ODD and conduct problems were large, correlations with depression were medium, and correlations with anxiety were small. However, ODD scores differed significantly between groups (Autism+ADHD-Combined > ADHD-Combined Only > Autism+ADHD-Inattentive and Autism Only > ADHD-Inattentive Only). The irritable/angry ODD component was greater in Autism+ADHD-Combined than in ADHD-Combined Only, whereas the oppositional/defiant component did not differ between the two groups. Autism was a significant independent risk factor for ODD, particularly the irritable/angry ODD component, but ADHD-Combined was the strongest risk factor. Therefore, the high co-occurrence of ADHD-Combined in autism (80% in our study) largely explains the high prevalence of ODD in autism. ADHD-Combined, autism, and ODD are highly comorbid (55–90%). Clinicians should assess all three disorders in referred children and provide evidence-based interventions to improve current functioning and outcomes for children with these disorders and reduce family and caretaker stress.

Psychometric Properties of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) for Ages 6–18 to Identify Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in a Turkish Parent Sample / Mahir UĞURLU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

However, the usefulness of the CBCL/6–18 in a Turkish sample still needs to be investigated. The current study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the measures of the CBCL/6–18 within a sample of Turkish parents. The psychometric evaluation includes item calibration using the Partial Credit Model (PCM). We analyzed data from 548 parents who have children with autism spectrum disorder. According to the PCM calibration, the results suggested that the Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problem subscales were unidimensional and showed local independence successfully. All subscales demonstrated adequate reliability, indicating that the scale distinguishes between children with different behavior problems. The subscales had varying item step ordering, meaning that transitions from one category to second by parent ratings are relatively straightforward. Some items with easy-to-define behavior problems, for example, Item 42 (constipated), were more likely to be endorsed by parents. Consequently, the CBCL/6–18 has adequate psychometric properties for accurately assessing problem behaviors in children based on parent ratings.

MAZUR, Auteur ; Katelyn M. EVEN, Auteur ; Conrad KRAWIEC, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4129-4136 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may suffer a dog bite injury, but the frequency and its clinical impact is unknown. We sought to evaluate the (1) subject characteristics; (2) injury type; (3) clinical care provided; and (4) mortality in children with ASD who suffer a dog bite injury. We hypothesized that children with ASD have higher mortality and require more clinical care than children without ASD. Methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study utilizing the TriNetX ® EHR database of subjects aged 0 to 18 years with dog bite diagnostic codes. Data were analyzed for demographics, diagnostic, medication, procedural codes, and mortality. Results: We analyzed 38,337 subjects (n, %) coded for a dog bite injury [619 (1.6%) with ASD and 37718 (98.4%) without ASD]. Children with ASD had a higher odds of a traumatic injury to the head [1.34 (1.15, 1.57), p < 0.0001] compared to those without. There was no difference in critical care services, hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, and rabies vaccine administration. All-cause mortality at 1 year was low with no deaths reported within the ASD cohort and 37 (0.1%) deaths reported within the no ASD cohort. Conclusions: Children with ASD that suffer dog bite injuries have similar clinical needs to children without ASD but are more likely to suffer a traumatic injury to the head. Future studies are needed to better understand inciting factors for injuries in this population.

Sleep Disturbances and Co-sleeping in Italian Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Serena SCARPELLI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

A total of 242 children and adolescents with ASD (194 males, mean age 5.03 ± 3.15 years) were included. After the diagnostic procedure, caregivers were requested to complete the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) to assess sleep disorders among participants. The presence of co-sleeping was investigated in a subgroup of 146 children and adolescents with ASD. An elevated or clinically relevant global score for sleep disorders (≥ 60) was found in 33% of participants. The most prevalent sleep disorder in our group was related to difficulties with sleep onset and sleep maintenance (~ 41% of cases). Sleep disturbances were predicted by higher intelligence quotient (IQ)/developmental quotient (DQ), increased internalizing problems, and elevated parental stress. The subgroup of participants engaged in co-sleeping (N = 87) were younger and had lower IQ/DQ scores, reduced adaptive functioning, and diminished psychological wellbeing than the non-co-sleeping group. Our findings are consistent with the current literature highlighting that insomnia is the most widespread sleep problem associated with ASD. The relationship between IQ/DQ and sleep alterations is a crucial topic that deserves additional research. Future studies should assess sleep by objective measures such as EEG topography to better understand the mechanisms underlying sleep alterations in this neurodevelopmental disorder.

While inclusive practices have expanded educational access, they do not consistently foster the emotional and relational experience of belonging. A targeted literature review was conducted to synthesize research on belonging, autism, and applied behavior analysis. Articles were selected based on their relevance to belonging, personal identity, and inclusive practices. Key themes include the distinction between inclusion and belonging, the definition and significance of belonging, challenges faced by the autistic community in achieving it, and research and educational recommendations derived from current literature and conceptual analysis to promote belonging among autistic individuals. Belonging must be prioritized as a meaningful outcome in autism support. Achieving this requires continued progress in defining, measuring, and intervening to enhance the subjective experience of belonging, as well as refining research and educational recommendations.
