What Silent Pauses Can 'Tell' Us About the Storytelling Skills of Autistic Children: Relations Between Pausing, Language Skills and Executive Functions / Eleni PERISTERI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

Previous research has shown that autistic children differ in their pausing behavior from typically-developing (TD) peers, however, the factors behind this difference remain underexplored. The current study was aimed at comparing the use of silent pauses in the narrative production of autistic children and age-matched TD children, and also to identify possible relations between pausing behavior and the children’s language and executive function abilities. According to the study’s findings, the autistic children did not differ from their TD peers in the use of grammatical pauses, however, the former tended to produce significantly less syntactically complex narratives than the TD group, which increased the likelihood that the autistic group would pause appropriately at phrasal boundaries. Though we have found low rates of ungrammatical silent pauses and omitted pauses in obligatory discourse contexts across both groups, autistic children with lower cognitive flexibility tended to use more ungrammatical pauses than their peers with higher cognitive flexibility scores. Also, the autistic group tended to omit obligatory silent pauses more often as their narration became more complex. The results demonstrate that syntactic complexity in narrative production modulated autistic children’s pausing behavior, and that structurally simple narrations boosted the autistic group’s appropriate use of grammatical pauses. The overall findings also demonstrate the importance of studying silent pauses in the narrative discourse of autistic children, and also highlight the links between silent pauses and the children’s syntactic and cognitive skills.

A grade-level science textbook was selected and converted into an eBook format, incorporating various visual and auditory features (e.g., text-to-speech, summarized sentences, highlighted keywords) and presented on an iPad. The shared reading intervention included before, during, and after reading strategies (i.e., pre-teaching target vocabulary words, sharing information, retelling), with direct instruction on locating literal information. The intervention effects on reading comprehension and task engagement were evaluated using a single-case multiple probe design. The results of this study indicated that all participants demonstrated improvements in reading comprehension. Despite the longer intervention sessions compared to the baseline, all participants exhibited similar or enhanced levels of task engagement during the intervention sessions. The findings of this study provide empirical evidence supporting the use of adapted eBooks within shared reading as a means to increase access to grade-level science texts for high school students with ASD while maintaining a high level of task engagement. This intervention holds promise for improving the learning outcomes for students with ASD in science content area.

Parent Facilitation of Child Emotion Regulation in ASD: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study / Aimee K. ROVANE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-12 (December 2025) . - p.4197-4211 Titre : Parent Facilitation of Child Emotion Regulation in ASD: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Aimee K. ROVANE, Auteur ; Robert M. HOCK, Auteur ; Chih-Hsiang YANG, Auteur ; Kimberly J. HILLS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4197-4211 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents play a substantial role in their children’s emotion regulation (ER) abilities. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulties regulating their emotions, which can manifest as externalizing behavioral issues. Parents of children with ASD facilitate their children’s ER development in response to unique challenges and stressors, often developing resiliency but other times contributing to their children’s dysregulation and behavioral challenges. It is unclear how much momentary stress attenuates parents' emotional facilitation of child ER and its effect on child behavioral functioning. Using an ecological momentary assessment approach, the current study explores this process by considering how parents of children with ASD facilitate child ER through (1) parent ER ability, (2) emotion socialization style, and (3) expressed emotion. Multilevel models explored the relative influences of parent ER facilitation on the association between momentary parent stress and behavioral intensity. Results suggest that parent ER abilities and specific emotion socialization styles interact with momentary parent stress and child behavior, whereas emotional climate of the home impacts child behavior more directly. The role of parent ER facilitation in the context of parent stress and children with ASD and behavioral problems is complex and multifaceted. Implications for further supporting children’s emotional development via parent involvement are discussed.

Examining the Link Between Social Affect and Visual Exploration of Cute Stimuli in Autistic Children / Alexandra ZAHARIA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

SAMSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4212-4225 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Baby schema refers to physical features perceived as cute, known to trigger attention, induce positive emotions, and prompt social interactions. Given the reduced visual attention to social stimuli observed in individuals on the autism spectrum, the current study examines whether the sensitivity to baby schema is also affected. We expected that the looking time towards cute-featured stimuli would vary with symptom severity levels and would be associated with social affect. Ninety-four children (31 typically developing; 63 diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder - ASD) aged 20-83 months (M = 49.63, SD = 13.59) completed an eye-tracking visual exploration task. Autistic participants were separated into two groups based on symptom severity: children with high autism severity symptoms (HS ASD; N = 23) and low-moderate autism symptoms (LMS ASD; N = 40). Animals and neutral objects were simultaneously presented on the screen along with either human babies (condition 1) or adults (condition 2). The results indicated that visual attention oriented to cute-featured stimuli varied with autism symptom severity: only LMS and TD groups spend more time looking at cute-featured stimuli (babies; animals) than neutral objects. Moreover, children with higher severity in the social affect domain spent less time on the stimuli depicting cute than non-cute stimuli. These findings suggest that autism symptom severity and social skills are linked to variations in visual attention to cute stimuli. Implications of baby schema sensitivity are discussed in relation to the development of social competencies and play, responsiveness to robot-based interventions, as well as appraised relevance in autistic children.

Autistic Adults Avoid Unpredictability in Decision-Making / Ana MACCHIA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

Decision-making impairments might furthermore be associated with a dysregulation of sex and stress hormones. This prospective, cross-sectional study investigated decision-making in 32 autistic participants (AP, 14 female) and 31 non-autistic participants (NAP, 20 female) aged 18-64 years. The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) and the Cambridge Risk Task (CRT) were used to assess decision-making under ambiguity and under risk with known outcome probabilities, respectively. Cortisol, estradiol, and testosterone serum levels were related to decision-making performance. Groups did not differ in overall IGT and CRT performance, but compared with NAP, AP preferred less profitable card decks with predictable outcomes while avoiding those with unpredictable outcomes. AP required more time to reach decisions compared to NAP. Additionally, AP without comorbid depression performed significantly worse than NAP in the IGT. Estradiol and cortisol concentrations were significant predictors of CRT scores in NAP, but not in AP. The study results imply that AP are 'risk-averse' in decision-making under ambiguity as they avoided choice options with unpredictable losses in comparison to NAP. Our findings highlight the intolerance for uncertainty, particularly in ambiguous situations. Thus, we recommend being as transparent and precise as possible when interacting with autistic individuals. Future research should explore decision-making in social situations among individuals with ASD, factoring in person-dependent variables such as depression.

Feasibility and Tolerability of Daily Theta Burst Stimulation in Autistic Youth with Intellectual Disabilities and Minimally Speaking Status: A Pilot Double-Blind Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial / Hsing-Chang NI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-12 (December 2025) . - p.4262-4271 Titre : Feasibility and Tolerability of Daily Theta Burst Stimulation in Autistic Youth with Intellectual Disabilities and Minimally Speaking Status: A Pilot Double-Blind Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hsing-Chang NI, Auteur ; Yi-Lung CHEN, Auteur ; Hsiang-Yuan LIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4262-4271 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Scarce clinical trials involving autistic people with intellectual disability (ID) and minimally speaking (MS) status have been a substantial unmet research need in the field. Although earlier studies have demonstrated the feasibility and beneficial potentials of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in intellectually able autistic people, the feasibility and tolerability of applying rTMS in autistic people with ID/MS has never been studied. We conducted the world-first 4-week randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot trial to investigate the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS, a variant of excitatory rTMS) over the left DLPFC in autistic youth with ID/MS. 25 autistic youth with ID/MS (aged 8-30 years) were randomized to a 20-session 4-week daily iTBS (n = 13) vs. sham stimulation (n = 12) with follow-up 4 and 8 weeks, respectively, after the last stimulation. A retention rate was 100% in our study. Adverse events of local pain (38%) and dizziness (8%) were only noted in the active group. All adverse events were mild and transient. There were no seizures, new behavioral problems, or other severe/serious adverse events noted. No participants dropped out due to adverse events.

Langues : Anglais (eng) in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 55-12 (December 2025) . - p.4262-4271 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Scarce clinical trials involving autistic people with intellectual disability (ID) and minimally speaking (MS) status have been a substantial unmet research need in the field. Although earlier studies have demonstrated the feasibility and beneficial potentials of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in intellectually able autistic people, the feasibility and tolerability of applying rTMS in autistic people with ID/MS has never been studied. We conducted the world-first 4-week randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot trial to investigate the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS, a variant of excitatory rTMS) over the left DLPFC in autistic youth with ID/MS. 25 autistic youth with ID/MS (aged 8-30 years) were randomized to a 20-session 4-week daily iTBS (n = 13) vs. sham stimulation (n = 12) with follow-up 4 and 8 weeks, respectively, after the last stimulation. A retention rate was 100% in our study. Adverse events of local pain (38%) and dizziness (8%) were only noted in the active group. All adverse events were mild and transient. There were no seizures, new behavioral problems, or other severe/serious adverse events noted. No participants dropped out due to adverse events. With a small sample size, we did not find any beneficial signal of DLPFC iTBS. Our pilot data suggest regular daily TBS treatment for four weeks is feasible, well tolerated and safe in autistic youth with ID/MS. Future randomized controlled trials with sufficiently powered samples are needed to investigate the beneficial potential of rTMS/TBS for autistic people with ID/MS.

Association of Irritability with Restricted, Repetitive Behaviors and Social Communication Challenges in Autistic Youth / Michelle MENEZES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

SUKHODOLSKY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4283-4290 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although affective irritability is a common and concerning problem for autistic youth, limited research has examined relations among core autism characteristics and irritability. Therefore, this study investigated potential associations among types of restricted/repetitive behaviors (RRBs) and social communication challenges and irritability in autistic children and adolescents. Participants were 107 autistic youth recruited from a university-based autism clinical research program. Two hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted with Affective Reactivity Index as the dependent variable. Covariates were entered at step 1, followed by the independent variables of interest at step 2. For the first model, independent variables of interest were Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised subscales: stereotyped behavior, self-injurious behavior, compulsive behavior, ritualistic behavior, sameness behavior, and restricted behavior. For the second model, independent variables of interest were Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition subscales: social awareness, social cognitive, social communication, and social motivation. Irritability was significantly associated with several categories of RRBs (i.e., insistence on sameness, stereotypic behavior, and restricted interests/activities). Nonetheless, irritability was not associated with categories of social communication and interaction challenges in autistic youth. Results from this study indicated differing associations between core autism characteristics and affective irritability. Findings highlight the importance of differentiating types of restricted, repetitive behaviors and social communication and interaction challenges in conceptualizing mental health concerns in autistic youth.

This population is more likely to face barriers to successful preventative healthcare, including vaccines, compared to neurotypical peers. Autistic individuals and persons with other IDD may be at greater risk for COVID-19 infection due to sensory dysregulation that interferes with mitigation such as wearing masks, and challenges in social communication that impose difficulties in understanding and adhering to prevention measures. Adaptations are needed to make vaccine opportunities more accessible for neurodivergent individuals. A series of seven Sensory-Friendly COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics (SFVCs) were conducted between December 2021 and August 2022 in collaboration with the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. SFVCs examined perceived barriers and facilitators to vaccine experiences, based on feedback from autistic individual/persons with IDD and their caregivers. Surveys were administered to autistic individuals/persons with IDD or their caregivers (n = 35) from the larger sample who attended the clinic; 18 participants also complete a supplemental interview. Scaled survey questions were analyzed to determine the acceptability of the SFVCs. Open-ended survey questions and interview responses were coded thematically to identify barriers, facilitators, and areas of improvement. All individuals who came to a SFVC with intent to be vaccinated were successfully administered a COVID-19 vaccine. More than 90% of participants reported that experiences at the SFVCs were positive, promoted retention, and they would recommend clinics to others. Staff clinical expertise, sensory-friendly elements, and hosting clinics at a neutral location (free from past medical history) served as facilitators to successful vaccine administration, whereas factors such as ill-equipped pharmacy staff, behavioral challenges, and logistical issues may serve as barriers. Incorporating reported barriers, facilitators, and accommodations of SFVC experiences may lead to more successful preventative healthcare processes for neurodivergent individuals.

Whether the delayed diagnosis of autism (≥ 6 years) was associated with parental severe mental disorders remained unknown. The parents of 22,859 autistic individuals and 228,590 age- and sex-matched nonautistic individuals were assessed for the presence of severe mental disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, alcohol use disorder, and substance use disorder). The timing of autism diagnosis was classified into three age categories: < 6 years, 6-11 years, and ≥ 12 years. Logistic regression models were used to examine associations between parental severe mental disorders and these age categories of autism diagnosis. Parental schizophrenia and substance use disorders were associated with the delayed diagnosis of autism, both diagnosis at ≥ 12 years (odds ratio [OR]: 2.14; 1.57) and at 6-11 years (1.87; 1.38). Parental bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder were also associated with the delayed diagnosis of autism, especially diagnosis at 6-11 years (OR 1.98; 1.86). Our findings underscore the need for clinicians to monitor the neurodevelopmental conditions of offspring born to parents with severe mental disorders during the early stages of their life.

This study aimed to systematically investigate the characteristics of phonological development in 3-6 year-old Mandarin-speaking children with ASD. We analyzed 10 min speech samples from 21 children with ASD, 18 development level-matched children with developmental disorders (DD), and 15 chronological age-matched typically developing (TD) children during semi-structured parent-child free play based on Mandarin phonological features. The children with ASD had a significantly smaller inventory than those with TD on the initial and final inventories. The children with ASD had only a significantly smaller initial inventory than those with DD in Phases 2 and 4. Compared with TD children, children with ASD used a higher proportion of V1 and V1V2C and a smaller proportion of V1V2V3, CV1C, and CV1V2C. No significant differences existed between ASD and DD children in the proportion of any syllable structure, but V1V2V3, CV1, and CV1V2C numbers were significantly fewer than in DD children. Children with ASD were significantly greater than children with TD in the diversity of V1V2, CV1, and overall syllables. ASD children had significantly fewer different types of syllables in both V1V2C and CV1 than did DD children and significantly greater diversity in CV1 and overall syllables than did DD children. These preliminary data suggest that the gap between TD and ASD children’s language abilities increased with age, and this gap was reflected in initial, final, and syllable complexity and diversity. Children with DD and ASD showed similar language abilities, and children with DD showed detailed differences from those with ASD regarding initial, syllable complexity and diversity.

A single-center retrospective study was conducted to investigate diagnostic yields of different genetic testing for children with ASD. Patients with at least one testing modality were included and classified as having genetically defined ASD or not based on updated genotype-phenotype correlation. Of the 523 patients included, 79 (15.1%) had results explaining their ASD diagnosis. WES (whole exome sequencing) outperformed CMA (chromosomal microarray) on diagnostic yield (23.0% versus 8.3%). Compared to those with non-diagnostic test(s), children with genetically defined ASD were associated with higher rates for microcephaly, hypotonia, dysmorphic features, and developmental delay/regression. The prevalence of epilepsy was significantly higher in children with genetically defined ASD than those without a genetic diagnosis (35.4% versus 16.4%, p < 0.001, power = 0.97). Furthermore, children with genetically defined ASD had a younger age of epilepsy onset (median 2.2 versus 5.0 years, p = 0.002, power = 0.90) and a higher rate of drug-resistant epilepsy although not reaching statistical significance (35.7% versus 21.9%, p = 0.20). Our study has provided further evidence to support WES as first-tier test for children with ASD and that an early genetic diagnosis has the potential to inform further surveillance and management for ASD comorbid conditions including epilepsy.

Although both proteins share similar structure and epigenetic regulatory functions, it remains unclear if KAT6A/6B mutation disorders, both very rare conditions, yield the same neurocognitive presentation and thus benefit from similar treatment approaches. This study provides a preliminary overview of neuropsychological functioning of 13 individuals with KAT6B disorder (Mean age = 9.01 years, SD = 5.46), which was compared to that of a recently published sample of 15 individuals with KAT6A syndrome (Mean age = 10.32 years, SD = 4.12). Participants completed a neuropsychological test battery to assess non-verbal cognition, and caregivers completed a series of standardized rating inventories to assess daily behavioral functioning. Results reveal those with KAT6B disorders present with severe adaptive deficits (92.3%) and autism-related behaviors (83.3%), juxtaposed with relatively low concerns with externalizing behaviors (7.6%), a pattern shared by the KAT6A group. Those with KAT6B disorders present with high levels of autistic features, including reduced affiliative interest, whereas social motivation is less affected within the KAT6A group. Overall, the levels of impairment in nonverbal cognition and receptive language were comparable among those with KAT6B disorders, a trend also seen in the KAT6A group. In brief, KAT6B and KAT6A disorders yield analogous neuropsychological profiles. Findings implicate common molecular pathophysiological mechanisms for these epigenetic disorders, such that similar therapies may have shared effect across diseases.

Parent reports are the most used method to assess sleep in pediatric populations and a modified 23-item of Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) for ASD has been proposed in the United States. The generalizability of the CSHQ for ASD has yet to be validated across countries, including Italy. To extend the CSHQ applicability to Italian youth with ASD, we back-translated to Italian and revised the 23-item CSHQ, validating its dimensional structure in a sample of children and adolescents with ASD using Explorative Graph Analysis. In addition, we compared the revised scale scores of the ASD group with a typically developing (TD) group. The revised Italian version of the CSHQ (CSHQ-r) consisted of a 15-item tool with a four-dimension structure (Sleep initiation/duration, Sleep anxiety/Co-sleeping, Night awakenings/Parasomnias, and Daytime alertness) with good structural stability. Group comparison indicated significantly higher scores in the ASD group than the TD group, suggesting greater prevalence of sleep disturbances in ASD. The four-dimensional CSHQ-r may represent a useful screening tool to assess sleep disorders in Italian children and adolescents with ASD, with potential implications for clinical practice.

Anxiety and Depression Affect Sleep Quality: A Preliminary Investigation in Crowdsourced Samples of Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults / Derek D. REED in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

The primary research question was whether autism status influences sleep quality, after accounting for the effects of depression and anxiety. We hypothesized that autistic adults would report higher levels of depression, anxiety, and sleep problems compared to non-autistic adults, after controlling for these covariates. We recruited 208 adults (109 non-autistic, 99 autistic) through a crowdsourcing platform, Prolific. Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale. Statistical analyses included Mann-Whitney U tests to compare group scores and a generalized linear model to assess the effect of autism status on sleep problems while controlling for depressive and anxiety symptoms. Autistic adults reported significantly higher levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms compared to non-autistic adults. However, after controlling for depression and anxiety, autism status alone did not have a statistically significant effect on overall sleep quality. The findings suggest that while autistic adults experience more severe sleep problems, these issues are closely related to higher levels of depression and anxiety rather than autism status itself. This study contributes to the understanding of sleep difficulties in autistic individuals, highlighting the importance of addressing co-occurring mental health conditions. Further research should explore the specific factors that exacerbate sleep problems in this population.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving children/adolescents with ASD five to 19 years of age and their parents at a public institution that supports disabled people in the city of João Pessoa in Northeast Brazil. The parents answered a form addressing sociodemographic characteristics and medical data (schooling, income, age, sex, support level and use of medications). PSB was recorded based on the reports of the parents. Parental stress was investigated using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Sleep disorders in the children/adolescents were investigated using the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC). Data analysis involved descriptive, bivariate and Poisson regression analyses (95% CI; p < 0.05). Results: Fifty children/adolescents with ASD participated in the study. Boys accounted for 84.0% of the sample (n = 42). PSB in the children/adolescents was reported by 28.0% of the parents. The mean parental PSS-10 score was 20.3 ± 8.5 and the mean SDSC score was 48.8 ± 17.5. The adjusted Poisson model revealed associations between PSB and higher levels of perceived stress of the parents (PR = 1.05; 95% CI: 1.01-1.09), sleep breathing disorders (PR = 1.14; 95%CI: 1.05-1.24) and sleep-wake transition disorders (PR = 1.16; 95%CI: 1.00-1.36; p = 0.044). Conclusion: The occurrence of PSB in children and adolescents with ASD was associated with higher levels of parental stress, higher scores for sleep breathing disorders and sleep-wake transition disorders.

However, the daily dynamics of these factors remain underexplored, especially in families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study examined the reciprocal relationships between daily sleep quality, parenting stress, and life satisfaction among parents of children with ASD. Seventy-five Chinese parents (M = 36.21 years, SD = 3.77 years; 57 mothers) of children with ASD (M = 5.43 years, SD = 1.56 years; 67 boys) participated in a 14-day diary study. Parents reported their subjective sleep quality, parenting stress, and life satisfaction at the same time each day across 7 survey questions. Dynamic structural equation modeling revealed two significant autoregressive effects: parents' perceptions of parenting stress and life satisfaction on a given day tended to persist into the following day. Moreover, better-than-average sleep quality on a given night predicted lower parenting stress and higher life satisfaction the next day. However, daytime fluctuations in parenting stress and life satisfaction did not influence sleep quality that night. hese preliminary findings suggest a unidirectional impact of sleep quality on perceived parenting stress and life satisfaction among these parents. Target interventions aimed at improving sleep quality, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) or structured sleep hygiene programs, may be essential for reducing parenting stress and enhancing life satisfaction in parents of children with ASD. These interventions should prioritize promoting consistent sleep routines and managing stress-related sleep disruptions.

Guided by the socio-ecological model, this review aimed to evaluate factors linked to sleep health disparities (SHDs) in children with ASD, determine possible gaps/limitations in existing literature, and identify possible solutions. A scoping review was selected to ascertain what is known about SHDs in ASD. Four databases identified articles from 2004 to 2023. Included articles were those conducted in children with ASD that focused on sleep and examined socio-ecological factors (i.e., individual, family, neighborhood and socio-cultural) possibly contributing to SHDs. 41 studies were extracted; 31 (75.6%) focused on individual factors, 27 (65.9%) focused on family factors, 11 (26.8%) focused on neighborhood and/or socio-cultural factors; 3 (7.3%) focused on factors across all three socio-ecological levels. Six studies included interventions that found improvements in child sleep, behavior, and quality of life. Representation of racial and ethnic minoritized groups was limited across studies. Most studies focused on individual child factors associated with sleep problems, with less research focused on family factors, and very few studies examining broader neighborhood and socio-cultural factors. Only about half of studies reported race and ethnicity data, with sparse representation of racial and ethnic minoritized children and families overall. These findings highlight the need for future research on modifiable socio-ecological factors to guide equitable sleep interventions for children with ASD.

Only about half of studies reported race and ethnicity data, with sparse representation of racial and ethnic minoritized children and families overall. These findings highlight the need for future research on modifiable socio-ecological factors to guide equitable sleep interventions for children with ASD.

CALHOUN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4412-4424 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies have used cluster analysis to address the diagnostic heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorder, but have been limited by identifying subgroups solely on the basis of core autism symptoms. The present study aimed to identify sleep phenotypes and their clustering with core autism symptoms in youth diagnosed with autism. 1397 patients (1-17y, M = 6.1 ± 3.3y; M IQ = 88.5 ± 27.2; 81.2% male, 89.0% white) with autism. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on 10 sleep items from the Pediatric Behavior Scale. Latent class analyses (LCA) determined phenotypes characterized by core autism symptoms and sleep clusters, accounting for age, sex, Intelligence Quotient (IQ), and medication use.PCA identified three distinct sleep clusters (disturbed sleep, insufficient sleep and hypersomnolence) explaining 48.4% of the variance. LCA revealed four phenotypes based on core ASD symptoms and sleep clusters. Compared to Class 1 (54.8%) as the reference group, Class 2 (26.3%) had a similar degree of sleep problems, higher IQ and milder autism symptoms, less problems with selective attention/fearlessness; Class 3 (14.5%) was characterized by insufficient and disturbed sleep, perseveration and somatosensory disturbance, and higher medication use, while Class 4 (4.4%) was by hypersomnolence, problems with social interactions, and higher medication use.We found four distinct clustering of core autism symptoms and sleep problems differing in their sleep profiles as well as in relation to clinical characteristics, demographics, internalizing/externalizing symptoms, and functional outcomes. Our findings underscore the heterogeneity of autism based on sleep-wake problems, advocating for personalized therapeutic interventions targeting nighttime sleep and daytime alertness.

Methods: Following anamnesis and dental examination, anxiety was assessed using the SCARED questionnaire. The SCs were determined by two age-appropriate questionnaires, and the percentage of negative SCs (%Neg) was recorded. Saliva samples were collected to measure SalC and SalM levels. The sample comprised 85 ASD patients aged 2-16 years, of whom 80%, 50.6% were classified as support level 2, 83.5% used medication, 84.7% had an afternoon chronotype, 72.9% presented PSB, and 48.2%, anxiety. The mean %Neg was significantly higher in patients using medication (49.29 ± 15.88; p = 0.03) and those requiring more support (level 1: 41.57 ± 14.45; level 2: 50.78 ± 15.54; level 3: 55.11 ± 23.44; p = 0.019). Patients with anxiety showed a higher %Neg (51.31 ± 16.33) than those without anxiety (43.65 ± 15.79). The mean SalC and SalM levels were 13.29 ± 13.39 and 299.91 ± 241.77, respectively.. In children aged 2-6 years, one rhythmicity SC and two separation-related SCs were associated with SalC (p < 0.05); lower SalM levels were found in patients who "slept alone" (p = 0.02). In older patients, "moving while sleeping" was associated with lower SalC (p = 0.05), and three additional SCs were linked to reduced SalM levels (p < 0.05). The presence of negative SCs in ASD patients was more common in those taking medication, requiring more support, and presenting anxiety. Furthermore, SalC and SalM levels were associated with specific SCs, especially among individuals aged (7-16).

We aimed to evaluate sleep characteristics of infants with Down syndrome (DS), higher familial likelihood of autism (HL) and lower familial likelihood of autism (LL) at 6 and 12 months of age. Participants were from two longitudinal, multi-site, studies. Sleep was estimated by parent report on the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire at 6 months (59 DS, 173 HL, 54 LL); 12 months (58 DS, 129 HL, 30 LL); and in a longitudinal subset at both 6 and 12 months (100 HL; 23 LL; 33 DS). At 6-months, DS parents reported less concern about infant sleep and less night wakefulness than LL parents; HL parents reported longer sleep onset latency (SOL). At 12 months DS parents reported less night sleep and more night wakefulness; HL parents reported less night sleep, more night wakefulness and longer SOL compared to LL. Night wakefulness increased significantly in the DS and HL groups from 6 to 12 months of age. A higher proportion of DS and HL infants decreased Night Sleep and increased Night Wakefulness compared with the LL group. A higher proportion of DS infants increased SOL compared with the LL group. Sleep alterations are present in the first year of life and may differ in DS and HL infants. The mechanisms behind these sleep alterations may be an important early intervention target.

Sleep Problems in Children with ASD and Mothers' Stress: the Mediating Role of Mother’s Quality of Life and Moderator Role of Mother’s Resilience / Mourad Ali Eissa SAAD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

One hundred and eighty eight children and their mothers participated in the present study. Questionnaires were used to collect data. The results of the mediation and mediated moderation analyses in this context confirmed the hypotheses of the study. The results provided important data on the factors that affect the mothers' stress of children with ASD and how mother’s resilience can play a moderating role. Sleep problems in children with ASD indicates mothers' stress (b = 0.21, p < .001, 95% CI [0.18, 0.24]) and mother’s quality of life (b = -0.21, p < .01), 95% CI [-0.20, 0.25]). After controlling for the effect of sleep problems, mothers' stress predicted mother’s quality of life at negative and significant levels (b = -. 18, p < .01, 95% CI [-0.11, 0.22]). Children with ASD often exhibit sleep difficulties which increase maladaptive daytime behaviors and this impacts their mothers' stress. This in its turn leads to poor health outcomes for mothers. Accordingly, increased, prolonged parental stress can be related to decreased health-related quality of life (QoL). The relationship between poor sleep of the child, increased problem behaviors, and parent’s stress becomes a perpetual cycle.

Although complex, this relationship may be at least partially explained because the children of parents with depression are more likely to experience poor psychosocial functioning, which can negatively impact their sleep. Autistic children are particularly at risk for sleep difficulties, and it is important to better understand these relationships as scant to no research has been done that investigates parental depression, child psychosocial functioning, and child sleep among autistic children. The current study examined whether parental perception of their child’s psychosocial functioning mediated the relationship between parental depression and their child’s sleep. The sample (N = 74) consisted of parents (77% female) reporting on their children aged 6-12 (M = 8.85, SD = 1.96; 74.3% male). All children were diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder and had sleep complaints as reported by their parents. Measures included the Child Sleep Health Questionnaire (CSHQ), sleep onset latency (SOL) and total sleep time (TST) from 14 days of sleep diaries, the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC), and a question asking if the parent had been diagnosed with depression (yes/no). Child psychosocial functioning significantly mediated the relationship between parental depression and child sleep (CSHQ and TST). These results indicate that child psychosocial functioning may help to explain the connection between diagnosed parental depression and poor child sleep among autistic children.

CHICK, Auteur ; Makoto KAWAI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4469-4479 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite the enormous clinical relevance of disordered sleep to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to date, few studies have employed objective measures of sleep architecture in ASD. Previous studies have identified an association between slow wave activity in electroencephalography (EEG) at sleep onset and daytime cognitive and affective functioning in other neuropsychiatric disorders. However, it is unknown whether slow wave activity, particularly Theta activity, at sleep onset is present more in ASD and whether it is related to daytime functioning. We used polysomnography (PSG) to investigate the presence of Theta activity at sleep onset in 60 children and adolescents aged 5.6-18.3 years old with ASD and 70 typically developing controls (TD). We performed visual analysis of PSG to identify bursts of theta activity at sleep onset (TASO) and examined its association with cognition, affect, and daytime behavior in children with ASD. TASO was more prevalent in ASD participants (30%) compared to controls (6%). The TASO (+) group scored significantly worse on the affect recognition test with a large effect size (18.6 (8.0) vs. 23.5 (5.5), t = 2.30, p = 0.027, d = 0.75). TASO was not associated with any other cognitive or affective measures; however, there was a trend toward association with worse daytime behavior. Our findings identify TASO as a feature of objective sleep in children with ASD, and provide a potential mechanism underlying previous reports of an association between poor sleep and ASD symptom severity, especially social cognition.

However, despite their prevalence and clinical impact, correlates of sleep difficulties in this group remain poorly characterized. This study used a large cohort of individuals with several rare NGDs to (i) characterize sleep phenotypes across disorders; and (ii) examine predictors of poor sleep.

TO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4499-4506 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Atypicalities in the prosodic aspects of speech are commonly considered in clinical assessments of autism. While there is an increasing number of studies using objective measures to assess prosodic deficits, such studies have primarily focused on the intonational and rhythmic aspects of prosody. Little is known about prosodic deficits that are reflected at the segmental level, despite the strong connection between prosody and segmental realization. This study examines the nature of sibilant-vowel coarticulation among male adult native speakers of Cantonese with autism and those without.
