Autism Spectrum Disorder and Health-Determining Behaviors: Assessing Physical Activity, Screen Time, and Sleep with the National Survey of Children’s Health / Brian M. SCHIBLER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-9 (September 2026) . - p.3327-3342 Titre : Autism Spectrum Disorder and Health-Determining Behaviors: Assessing Physical Activity, Screen Time, and Sleep with the National Survey of Children’s Health Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brian M. SCHIBLER, Auteur ; Stephen M. KANNE, Auteur ; Gregory J. STODDARD, Auteur ; Paul S. CARBONE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3327-3342 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To compare the national prevalence of meeting physical activity, screen time, and sleep guidelines between autistic and nonautistic children and identify factors associated with meeting these guidelines. Prevalences for each health-determining behavior were estimated using the 2022 National Survey of Children’s Health, using national guidelines. Complex survey-weighted logistic regression, adjusted for demographic covariates, was used to measure associations between autism and meeting each guideline, and to identify potential child, family, community, and policy-level determinants of each behavior among autistic children. The prevalence of meeting all three guidelines was low among autistic and nonautistic children across age groups. Physical activity guidelines were met at similarly low rates among autistic and nonautistic children; however, autistic children of all age groups were less likely to meet screen time guidelines, and those in the 3–5 and 6–11 years age groups were less likely to meet sleep guidelines. Moderate/severe autism, irregular bedtime, low parental education, and lacking a medical home were associated with lower likelihood of meeting sleep guidelines. Irregular bedtime and high income were associated with lower likelihood of meeting physical activity guidelines. Autistic children meet guidelines for physical activity, screen time, and sleep at a low prevalence and less than their nonautistic peers. Clinicians should develop individualized plans to facilitate adherence to guidelines among autistic children. Interventions should address modifiable factors, including bedtime regularity and access to medical homes. Further research and policy efforts should be made to improve adherence to guidelines among autistic children and subsequently reduce health disparities.

Virtual reality (VR)-based serious games have shown potential in enhancing motor learning, but their role in improving gross motor skills in children with ASD in special education remains underexplored. This randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness of VR-based serious games in improving gross motor skills in children with ASD. Forty children (6–12 years) from Changsha Special Educational School were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 20) receiving VR-based serious game training, or a control group (n = 20) attending traditional physical education classes. The 12-week intervention was assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). The experimental group used a multimedia VR system with nine motor rehabilitation games. After the intervention, both groups showed significant improvements in gross motor skills, but the experimental group showed greater gains in locomotor and object control skills, with significant time × group interaction effects. Despite improvements, average gross motor scores remained below the expected norms, highlighting persistent motor skill challenges. These findings support VR-based serious games as a valuable tool in special education, warranting further exploration for long-term interventions and broader adoption in school settings.

We examined the epidemiological patterns of unintentional drowning incidents involving children diagnosed with ASD treated in US emergency departments (EDs). Data for this study came from the 2016–2020 Nationwide ED Sample. Children aged 1–19 years diagnosed with ASD and treated in EDs were identified using ICD-10-CM code F84.0. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of drowning-related ED visits associated with ASD. During the study period, there were an estimated 21,226 unintentional drowning-related ED visits in children, including 369 in children diagnosed with ASD. Compared to children without ASD, ED visits for unintentional drownings in children with ASD were more likely to have occurred in swimming pools (47.45% vs. 41.21%), natural water (15.55% vs. 8.82%), and bathtubs (8.08% vs. 4.79%). Among children with ASD, unintentional drowning-related ED visits occurred more commonly in children > 10 years (43.20% vs. 18.19%) and were more likely to result in hospital admission (35.14% vs. 22.02%) than among children without ASD. With adjustment for demographic characteristics, ASD was associated with more than a 2-fold increased odds of ED-treated unintentional drowning (aOR = 2.31; 95% CI 1.84, 2.89). Epidemiologic patterns of unintentional drowning are different between children with and without ASD. Targeted interventions designed to increase supervision, provide adaptive swimming lessons, and enhance environmental safety may reduce the risk of unintentional drownings among children diagnosed with ASD.

JOHNSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3393-3402 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Among children with autism, drowning is the leading cause of death through 14 years old. Attributes such as wandering, sensory issues, impulsivity, and a limited sense of danger could increase risk. In addition, autistic children often have trouble participating in structured group activities like swimming lessons. The purpose of this study is to better understand water safety experiences of parents of children with autism. Parents of autistic children were asked to participate in a focus group about their family’s water safety experiences. Six focus groups and one interview were held. Six major themes were identified from transcripts that were common among participants: autism characteristics influence water safety risk; water safety fears influence family life; it is difficult to find and access water safety and swimming lesson information for children with autism; autism characteristics affect participation in swimming lessons and other aquatic activities; autistic children have unique swimming lesson needs; and instructor preparedness is key to swimming lesson success for autistic children. Water safety needs to be elevated in importance for families of autistic children. Information on drowning risk and prevention should be made more accessible. Barriers to adaptive swimming lessons such as cost, scheduling, and availability need to be addressed. More training opportunities need to be provided to swimming instructors to improve teaching children with complex needs, such as those with autism.

Intact but Protracted Facial and Prosodic Emotion Recognition Among Autistic Adults / Robert M. JERTBERG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)

Differences in demographic and task factors have been proposed as explanations for divergent findings, but limitations in samples and designs have obscured insight into this possibility. This study investigated the extent of emotion recognition differences among autistic adults and the influence of these factors upon them. We recruited a large sample of autistic and non-autistic adults (N = 1,239) spanning across adulthood (18–76 years). In three online experiments, we compared their performance in recognizing emotions from basic facial expressions, complex expressions conveyed by the eyes alone, and prosodic elements of speech. Autistic individuals performed as well as non-autistic ones in terms of recognition accuracy/sensitivity across measures and emotional categories but took longer to do so. We also detected comparable influences of age, estimated intelligence quotient, and gender (as well as task demands) on both groups. While autistic adults may differ in how they process emotional stimuli, they can do so effectively when given sufficient time. Accordingly, efforts to help autistic individuals improve their ability to recognize emotions may be more fruitful if they focus on efficiency over accuracy. Additionally, reaction time data may offer greater insight than accuracy into differences between autistic and non-autistic individuals on emotion recognition tasks. The similar effects of the demographic and task factors we analyzed on both groups suggest that explanations of the discrepancies in prior literature lie elsewhere.

In particular, parent coaching has emerged as a key component of such interventions. However, the characteristics of such interventions remain underexplored. Therefore, the current review aimed to synthesise characteristics of parent-coaching interventions for young autistic children (<6 years). Specifically, the review aimed to investigate the extent to which fathers are being included in parent-coaching interventions. A systematic review of the literature was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. A total of 5 studies which met the strict inclusion criteria were included in the final analysis. Studies were summarised regarding participant information, study design, intervention characteristics, dependent variables, study outcomes and social validity findings. Results revealed that only 2 fathers were represented in the included studies, which included 94 parent-child dyads overall. Although limited to two studies, outcomes indicated that parent-coaching can be successfully implemented with fathers. Findings concerning other intervention characteristics are also discussed. Overall, this review highlights the need for more in-depth research into fathers’ experiences of parent-coaching interventions and related child outcomes.

This study sought to: (a) identify positive and negative factors experienced by autistic adults and caregivers; (b) test for within-subject differences in endorsement of promotive factors reported specific to four stages of development; and (c) test for differences in factors between adults with varying cognitive ability (i.e., less cognitively able [LCA; verbal IQ < 70] and more cognitively able [MCA; verbal IQ ≥ 70]). Participants included 91 autistic adults and caregivers. Autistic adults’ VIQs ranged from 4 to 139. Participants completed a modified version of the Social/Emotional Functioning Interview which consists of open-ended questions about positive and negative factors experienced across development. Autistic adults and caregivers, regardless of cognitive abilities, frequently reported people supports as more helpful than specific services, aspects of education, or generative activities from early childhood through adulthood. For both cognitive groups, generative activities were increasingly important after childhood. Services were more frequently identified as helpful by LCA caregivers in adulthood, while education was reported more by MCA caregivers and autistic adults. Differences by cognitive ability in negative factors included that more LCA caregivers reported poorly prepared professionals/caregivers as disruptive, while more MCA caregivers and autistic adults reported family conflict and bullying. Positive and negative factors identified through interviews of lived experiences can inform targeted care based on strengths and needs across cognitive abilities and life stages.

The autistic population, in particular, may have communication and sensory preferences that can be unsupported by the current SRE for non-autistic people, and the cultural relatedness of the SRE they received are often unrecognized. To better understand autistic individuals’ insights, nine autistic young adults from different cultural groups between 20 and 35 years old (four cis-males, two cis-females, three non-binaries) were interviewed to learn about their previous experiences and future expectations in sexuality and relationship education. Results of the inductive (i.e., bottom-up) thematic analyses indicated a low consideration of cultural aspects in their SRE experiences reported by autistic adults. The results highlighted the need for a diverse, consistent, and tailored SRE for the autistic population, with more efforts made from the education system to promote cultural adaptations of SRE. Suggestions are provided for the education systems, professionals, parents, and researchers to develop more tailored SRE for the autistic population.

Emotional Prosody Recognition in Autism Spectrum Disorder Without Intellectual Disability: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis / Qiyun LUO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)

However, findings regarding emotional prosody recognition in individuals with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual disability (ASD-without-ID) remain inconsistent. This study aims to address this inconsistency through a systematic review and meta-analysis, exploring potential factors that may account for the inconsistent results. A search across four major electronic databases identified 29 eligible studies comparing emotional prosody recognition in ASD-without-ID and typically developing (TD) participants. We identified several participant- and methodology-related moderators across these studies. Using a random-effects model, we found a moderate-to-large pooled effect (Hedges’ g = − 0.65) for emotional prosody recognition in ASD-without-ID participants, which remained stable after adjusting for publication bias through the trim-and-fill method. Emotional complexity and participant age significantly moderated the heterogeneity of effect sizes across studies. The results indicate moderate differences in the recognition of basic emotions through prosody between individuals with ASD-without-ID and TD individuals, with more pronounced differences for complex emotions. The findings emphasize the distinct developmental trajectories of ASD-without-ID individuals. We highlight the need for further investigation into the underlying factors and mechanisms affecting emotional prosody recognition in this population, including meta-analyses examining the moderate effects of various IQ measures and studies involving speakers of tonal languages.

The Behavioral Presentation of Autistic Adults in a Forensic Interview / Katie LOGOS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)

YOUNG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3503-3522 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism diagnostic criteria, and research primarily involving autistic children, highlight verbal and nonverbal behaviors likely to manifest during social interaction that may generate unfavorable impressions of interaction partners (e.g., poor credibility, incompetence). These behaviors are thought to bias evaluations of autistic individuals, particularly within high-stakes contexts (e.g., police or employment interviews). However, the prevalence of those behaviors in autistic adults is unclear. IQ-matched samples of autistic (n = 43) and non-autistic (n = 41) adults participated in a simulated chatroom, exposed to text-based conversations about illegal hacking. Participants were then interviewed about the chatroom in a one-on-one video-recorded online interview with the researcher. We measured the prevalence of 19 verbal and nonverbal behaviors, and memory report characteristics displayed by the interviewees, and investigated differences between the diagnostic groups. Diagnosis had a strong effect on overall behavioral displays but was only associated with minor differences in individual behaviors. Three significant effects indicated greater difficulty interpreting figurative language, longer speech hesitations, and greater verbal intonation for autistic than non-autistic adults. Inter-individual variability within groups and within-individual variability across behaviors highlighted that behaviors were neither ubiquitous nor consistently displayed in combination. There was also a suggestion of more noticeable differences in the behavior of male than female autistic adults. Although minor behavioral differences were detected based on diagnosis, they included behaviors that could lead to negative outcomes for autistic individuals during high-stakes interactions. Whether more pronounced behavioral differences are detected during face-to-face interactions warrants further research.

SURTEES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3523-3538 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism diagnostic criteria relate to difficulties in functioning across multiple developmental domains, that often impact on a person’s independence. There are different ways to conceptualise and exercise independence, but no previous studies have questioned how autistic adults do so. This qualitative study aimed to understand how autistic adults define and experience independence. It was designed to further our understanding of how autistic adults account for and use coping strategies to overcome barriers to independent living and navigate their way to their desired level of independence. Twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted with autistic adults living in the United Kingdom. The data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The researchers generated three major themes. The first theme ‘Independence is “not a one-size-fits-all”’ highlights that there is no one definition or concept of independence for autistic people; these are relative and uniquely individual. The second theme ‘“Being autistic has its setbacks” in a neurotypical world’ describes the obstacles encountered by autistic adults seeking independence within a society that favours neurotypical norms. The third theme ‘Finding ways of making it work’ captures strategies autistic adults use in achieving or maintaining independence. The findings from this study provide a foundation for future research exploring domains of independence for autistic adults. The perceived desirability of achieving different degrees of in(ter)dependence and the fluctuating nature of self-sufficiency are explored through lived experience. Increasing understanding of barriers and challenges to independence has the potential to empower autistic adults and improve services and support.

This study investigated the factor structure of the Autism Spectrum Rating Scales-Parent report for ages 6–18 (ASRSp6) in a well-characterized community sample of 696 children (autism [AUT] n = 231; non-autism [NOT] n = 465; X̄age = 10.03) prospectively evaluated with the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2, a gold-standard autism diagnostic measure. The original author-identified structure demonstrated poor model fit. Exploratory Factor Analysis with a randomly selected half of the sample (n = 346) suggested retaining 17-items on three factors (Rigid/Sensory, Social, and Executive Function [EF]), explaining 55% of the variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis with the remaining participants (n = 350) indicated good model fit. Partial measurement invariance was observed for diagnostic (AUT/NOT) and gender (male/female) groups. Correlations with the DSM-5p6 (an ASRSp6 scale) were high. Mean differences were observed between AUT/NOT groups for Social; when controlling for age, marginal differences (p = 0.02 − 0.03) were observed for all factors but EF. Social also demonstrated significant AUC regardless of control variables. However, AUC values for Social and other factors, while significant, were in the poor range; correlations with ADOS-2 scores were weak or non-significant. Despite improving the factor structure, the Total-17 does not appear to measure ASD-specific traits. However, these findings provide a basis for further research on ASD questionnaires.

Aligning Perspectives: Autism Identity, Independence, Participation, and Quality of Life in Autistic Adolescents Through Self and Parental Reports / Liron LAMASH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)

Thirty dyads comprising adolescents aged 13 to 18 years and one of their parents participated in the study. Participants completed the Autism Identity Questionnaire, Daily Routine and Autonomy questionnaire, Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation-Youth, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. The findings indicated moderate agreement between self-reports and parental reports regarding autism identity, functional autonomy, and QoL. Fair agreement was found regarding social participation. Adolescents who reported higher levels of acceptance regarding their autism identity demonstrated greater autonomy and participation, which correlated with a higher QoL. Conversely, those with higher engulfment scores (feeling overwhelmed by the diagnosis) exhibited lower levels of independence, social participation, and emotional and social QoL. These findings suggest that fostering a positive autism identity may enhance autonomy and social participation while addressing feelings of engulfment could improve emotional and social outcomes.

Thirty dyads comprising adolescents aged 13 to 18 years and one of their parents participated in the study. Participants completed the Autism Identity Questionnaire, Daily Routine and Autonomy questionnaire, Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation-Youth, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. The findings indicated moderate agreement between self-reports and parental reports regarding autism identity, functional autonomy, and QoL. Fair agreement was found regarding social participation. Adolescents who reported higher levels of acceptance regarding their autism identity demonstrated greater autonomy and participation, which correlated with a higher QoL. Conversely, those with higher engulfment scores (feeling overwhelmed by the diagnosis) exhibited lower levels of independence, social participation, and emotional and social QoL. These findings suggest that fostering a positive autism identity may enhance autonomy and social participation while addressing feelings of engulfment could improve emotional and social outcomes.

Empathy and Interest Towards an Autistic Person and the Effect of Disclosing the Diagnosis / Yonat RUM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-9 (September 2026) . - p.3570-3584 Titre : Empathy and Interest Towards an Autistic Person and the Effect of Disclosing the Diagnosis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yonat RUM, Auteur ; Shir GENZER, Auteur ; Ofer GOLAN, Auteur ; Carrie ALLISON, Auteur ; Simon BARON-COHEN, Auteur ; Anat PERRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3570-3584 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigates the effects of disclosing an autism diagnosis on non-autistic listeners’ empathy and social interest towards the autistic discloser. In Study 1, participants (non-autistic students in the social sciences/humanities [n = 99; 70% female]) watched a video of an autistic adult sharing an autobiographical story and reported how they believed the storyteller felt, following an introduction in which the storyteller did or did not disclose their diagnosis. Their evaluation of the storyteller’s emotions was compared to the storyteller’s own reports, resulting in an empathic accuracy measure. Participants reported how empathic they felt towards the storyteller and how socially interested they were in them. Studies 2 and 3 replicated the same procedure with STEM students (n = 96; 40% female), and with non-student adults (n = 76; 50% female) from diverse professional/occupational backgrounds, with an additional question about working together. In Study 1, participants in the self-disclosure condition demonstrated higher empathic accuracy, reported more empathy, and greater social interest in the storyteller. Study 2 showed a similar trend of higher empathy in the self-disclosure condition but no differences in social interest measures. Interest in working with the storyteller was higher in the self-disclosure condition. In Study 3, participants in the self-disclosure condition demonstrated higher empathy and greater interest in hearing another story and working with the storyteller. An individual’s self-disclosure of an autism diagnosis improved others’ ability to empathize with them and willingness to work with them. We discuss the complex effect of self-disclosure on social interest in an autistic person.

MARTIN LOYA, Auteur ; Hedda MEADAN, Auteur ; Elaine M. GILMARTIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3585-3599 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Heritage-language-speaking caregivers of autistic children in the United States (U.S.) have encountered barriers when attempting to access multilingual support for their children. Multilingual autism providers, such as professionals in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), have also reported challenges in providing multilingual care, such as a lack of training opportunities. Little is known about the experiences and needs of leaders in ABA who support multilingual direct care staff. Therefore, the current study aimed to answer the research question: What are the experiences and needs of ABA leaders in autism care related to supporting multilingual ABA staff who work with multilingual autistic children and their families? This exploratory qualitative study used semi-structured focus groups and interviews with monolingual and multilingual behavior analysts who had experience supporting multilingual ABA staff. Transcripts were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The 14 participants were a diverse sample of U.S.-based monolingual, multilingual, autistic, and non-autistic leaders in ABA with experience supervising multilingual ABA staff. Two major themes were generated from the data set: (1) Diverse Experiences: Organizational Policies and Actions Impacting Multilingual Staff, and (2) Building Community and Creating Solutions. Participants shared experiences and challenges supervising multilingual ABA staff. Implications highlight the need to closely examine organizational policies to prevent discrimination and spotlight the need for more research to be conducted in this area.

Prosodic Focus Effects on Covert “Only” Reading of Scalar Quantifiers in Autistic and Non-autistic Children Under Tonal Language Background / Yuhan JIANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-9 (September 2026) . - p.3612-3628 Titre : Prosodic Focus Effects on Covert “Only” Reading of Scalar Quantifiers in Autistic and Non-autistic Children Under Tonal Language Background Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yuhan JIANG, Auteur ; Ting WANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3612-3628 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous research on prosodic focus comprehension in non-autistic children has yielded inconsistent results, often attributing their difficulties to the presence of the word “only”. However, studies on autistic children’s understanding of focus are limited and often methodologically rigid. This study builds on previous work by investigating how prosodic focus influences the covert “only” interpretation of scalar quantifiers among Mandarin-speaking children aged 3–8, both autistic and non-autistic, using engaging and dynamic tasks. The present study combined a computer-based Picture-Sentence Judgment and a computer-based Selection Task. Samples included 25 autistic (3 F, 22 M) and 29 non-autistic children (17 F, 12 M) for the judgment task, and 20 autistic (3 F, 17 M) and 25 non-autistic (13 F, 12 M) for the selection task. Results indicated that non-autistic children showed prosodic focus sensitivity, requiring ToM and EF skills but not fully eliciting covert “only” inferences. Prosody enhanced clarity, reducing reliance on advanced reasoning, though vocabulary mattered. Autistic children’s comprehension was unaffected by prosody, even with basic ToM and EF skills. Individual traits’ influences on their interpretation were minimally affected by focus, highlighting reduced sensitivity. These findings suggest that non-autistic challenges may stem from cognitive capacities, not mere inclusion of “only”. Autistic children’s diminished sensitivity reflects autism’s intrinsic aspects, likely linked to information integration impairments or decreased social motivation.

This study involved three research questions investigating the following: general prescription trends of psychotropic medication use among autistic individuals, psychotropic medication use and its effects, and the communication of psychotropic medication use with stakeholders. This study employed a qualitative design and involved individual interviews with 19 parents of autistic individuals. To be included in the study, participants were required to have a child with autism over 18 years of age, currently receiving psychotropic medication. Constant comparative analysis and emergent coding were used to analyze the data. The general prescription trends of psychotropic medication use were grouped according to age based on the initiation of psychotropic medication use, reasons for psychotropic medication use, dose of psychotropic medication use, and experience of psychiatric hospitalization. Overall, parents were skeptical of the effects of psychotropic medications, leading to non-adherence to the prescribed psychotropic medications. Finally, there was a lack of communication among psychiatrists, autistic adults, and other professionals regarding psychotropic medication use. Future practices are warranted to develop educational programs on medication use, including foundational knowledge on medications, correct dosages, and strategies for managing side effects. Furthermore, ongoing communication among stakeholders should be guaranteed based on team approaches while prioritizing the voices of autistic individuals.

Exploring Psychotropic Medication Use in Hospitalized Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder in China: The Role of Intellectual Disability / Wenqing LI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)

However, evidence-based guidelines for psychotropic medication use in specialized inpatient settings remain limited, particularly in non-Western contexts. This study examined the clinical characteristics and prescribing patterns among 269 hospitalized ASD patients (2012–2023), with a focus on how intellectual disability (ID) influences medication decisions. A retrospective analysis was conducted using electronic medical records to assess mental disorders, behavioral challenges, and psychotropic medication use at discharge. Logistic regression analyses was performed to examine factors associated with medication prescribing patterns, including the impact of ID status. Psychotropic medication use was highly prevalent (96.7%), with antipsychotics (89.96%) being the most frequently prescribed class, followed by anxiolytics (35.32%) and antidepressants (33.09%). ID was significantly associated with distinct prescribing patterns: patients with ID had 63% lower odds of antidepressant use (aOR = 0.37, p = 0.001) and 80% lower odds of ADHD medication use (aOR = 0.20, p = 0.009), while being more likely to receive antipsychotics (aOR = 2.74, p = 0.049) and experience polypharmacy (aOR = 1.89, p = 0.028). Additionally, disruptive behaviors and age were key predictors of antipsychotic use, whereas suicidal thoughts/attempts or SIBs independently predicted antidepressant prescribing. These findings suggest that ID status plays a critical role in shaping psychotropic prescribing practices beyond symptom severity alone, potentially reflecting diagnostic overshadowing and safety concerns. Future research should focus on developing tailored clinical assessment tools and treatment protocols for ASD populations with and without ID, while enhancing individualized medication monitoring to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

The aim of this study is to carry out a thorough clinical and psychological characterization of Spanish CTNNB1 syndrome patients. We used standard clinical assessment instruments and an ad hoc questionnaire to measure motor functioning, neurodevelopmental milestones, sleep problems, daily life activities, behavioural problems, communication and speech impairments, eating disorders and autistic features in 25 participants with CTNNB1 syndrome (15 females, 10 males; mean age 7.1 ± 4.1). Main clinical manifestations reported were microcephaly, motor impairment, sight problems, sleep disturbances and sensorial problems. Attainment of developmental milestones indicated motoric, language and daily living skills to be generally delayed. All participants had adaptative skills below their chronological age, even though verbal individuals had better functioning compared to nonverbal. Regarding behaviour impairments, CTNNB1 syndrome patients scored significantly high at internalizing and externalizing behavioural problems. Additionally, about 60% presented symptoms of ASD. Our findings have important implications for the psychotherapeutic and clinical approaches of CTNNB1 syndrome patients. We show the importance of early stimulation, given that an early attainment of developmental milestones is related to a current better function of many clinical variables. Moreover, previous underrated symptoms such as sleep problems, impaired adaptative skills and high rates of behavioural symptoms should be taken into consideration due to the harmful impact that have on every day life.

The Relationship Between Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder in Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Orthorexia Nervosa in Their Mothers / Borte GURBUZ OZGUR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-9 (September 2026) . - p.3670-3683 Titre : The Relationship Between Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder in Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Orthorexia Nervosa in Their Mothers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Borte GURBUZ OZGUR, Auteur ; Buket CANLAN OZAYDIN, Auteur ; Rabia EREN, Auteur ; Ufuk UYAR, Auteur ; Yigit OZAYDIN, Auteur ; Hatice AKSU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3670-3683 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim is to examine the relationship between Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) symptoms and sensory sensitivities in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as the relationship between maternal orthorexia nervosa (ON) and ARFID, and to identify the factors influencing ARFID. The symptom severity of 104 children was assessed using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), maternal ON symptoms with ORTO-11, ARFID symptoms with the Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Screening Tool (NIAS), and sensory sensitivities with the Eyuboglu Sensory Reactivity Scale (ESRS). Multiple regression analyzed predictors of NIAS scores, and moderator analysis examined whether ORTO-11 moderated the ESRS-NIAS relationship. ON was present in 58% of the mothers. Mothers with ON had significantly higher total NIAS scores and NIAS Fear subscale scores. A positive and statistically significant relationship was found between the CARS scores and the hyporeactivity and sensory-seeking subscales of the ESRS scale. When NIAS was taken as the dependent variable, a significant regression relationship was found between CARS-9 and ORTO-11. However, ORTO-11 does not play a moderating role in the effect of ESRS on NIAS. ARFID symptoms are predicted by maternal ON symptoms and CARS-9 scores in children. We emphasize the importance of evaluating the eating attitudes and food perspectives of caregivers when atypical eating behaviors are identified in the clinical follow-up of children diagnosed with ASD. Since the study was conducted solely with mothers’, further research is needed to examine the effects of ON symptoms in fathers and other caregivers.

Some (but not all) Pragmatic Inferences are Difficult for Autistic Children / Nicolas PETIT in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-9 (September 2026) . - p.3684-3696 Titre : Some (but not all) Pragmatic Inferences are Difficult for Autistic Children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nicolas PETIT, Auteur ; Marie-Maude GEOFFRAY CASSAR, Auteur ; Matias BALTAZAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3684-3696 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is classically associated with difficulties in pragmatic inferences, resulting in an over-literal interpretation of language. This has mostly been observed with figurative language (e.g., metaphors). In contrast, more recent investigations of another type of inference, scalar implicatures, have mostly failed to spot any difference between autistic and neurotypical individuals, raising concerns about any general claim of pragmatic difficulties in autism. However, both lines of research face issues: language demands rather than pragmatic competence might actually explain group differences on metaphor tasks, and scalar implicatures have mostly been assessed with truth judgment tasks, which might bias their results. This work aims to assess whether this contrast between metaphors and scalars can be observed within a single group of autistic children. A group of autistic children (N = 23) was compared to a larger sample of neurotypical children (N = 237), using innovative scalar implicatures and metaphors tablet tasks that address the methodological concerns raised in the literature. The autistic group showed a reverse contrast from what was expected, with poorer scalar implicature but similar metaphor comprehension, consistently at accuracy and response times levels. We discuss the possibility that, complementary to previous accounts, a dimension opposing guided to spontaneous pragmatic processes might explain this result and the challenges faced by autistic individuals in daily situations.

Postural Control in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: What are the Most Striking Specificities and How Can They be Quantified? / L. FRADET in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-9 (September 2026)

BIDET-ILDEI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3697-3712 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic children (AT) are known to exhibit distinct postural control patterns compared to neurotypical (NT) children. However, identifying and interpreting these differences can be complex due to the wide range of variables used to analyse Centre of Pressure (CoP) trajectories. This study aims to elucidate the specific characteristics of postural control in AT children by identifying the most discriminative CoP variables that distinguish them from NT children. The study evaluated 24 AT and 24 NT children while they stood on a force plate for 30 s under three conditions: eyes open (EO), eyes closed (EC), and the feet on a foam pad with eyes open (EOF). A total of 75 variables—including frequential, linear, and non-linear variables—were extracted from the CoP trajectory. These variables, expressed as the rate of change between the EC and EOF conditions relative to the EO condition, were compared between the AT and NT groups. A best-subsets approach was used to identify the most discriminative variables, and Pearson correlations were calculated to assess their relationship with age and Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) scores. Of the 75 variables analysed, 15 showed significant differences between the AT and NT groups. The best-subsets analysis and the correlations revealed that variables such as the rate of change between the EOF and EO conditions, and the root mean square of the trembling component of the CoP trajectory, were particularly discriminative. Autistic children demonstrated a more rigid and regular CoP trajectory, particularly in the EO condition, compared to NT children. These findings suggest that AT children have greater difficulty integrating multisensory information and an increased reliance on supraspinal processes for postural control.

In Europe, studies are scarce and results are inconsistent. We aimed to investigate the association between prenatal exposure to PM and the risk of ASD in France. ASD cases were participants from the ELENA cohort. Controls children from the ELFE cohort were matched by sex, year (± 2) and region of birth. Prenatal exposures to PM10 and to PM2.5 were estimated between 2008 and 2013 using innovative hybrid spatio-temporal models developed for France. Conditional logistic regression models adjusted for birth season, parent’s age at the child birth and parental education level were run. We included 125 ASD cases and 500 controls. Prenatal PM2.5 and PM10 median (IQR) concentration estimates were respectively 16.3 (3.9) µg/m3 and 22.9 (6.6) µg/m3 in the whole sample. The conditional logistic regression models showed Odds Ratios (ORs) (Confidence Interval 95%) for ASD risk of 0.72 (0.52–1.01) and 0.84 (0.58–1.22) for an IQR increase in PM2.5 and PM10 prenatal levels, respectively. When restricting population of ASD cases to children born the same year of controls, ORs were 1.79 (0.80–4.01) and 2.23 (0.71–9.04), respectively. Our results did not show that prenatal exposures to PM2.5 and PM10 were associated with the risk of ASD in children in France.

If untreated, it may lead to serious complications, including death. Although often described in adults with schizophrenia and severe mood disorders, it can also occur in persons with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), particularly autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Since its diagnosis is more likely to be missed by clinicians with limited experience, we attempted to determine if experienced psychiatrists can make a reliable diagnosis of catatonia in a group of patients with NDD. Twenty patients with catatonia with ASD/NDD (12 males 8 females; age range 13–34 years; mean 17.5; SD 4.8), diagnosed by two American psychiatrists, were re-evaluated by a group of Swedish psychiatrists. In the initial round, agreement was reached in 15 (75%) cases. However, a careful review of additional material and several virtual discussions were required to reach agreement in the remaining 5 (25%) of cases. The diagnosis of catatonia in individuals with NDD is challenging, even for experienced clinicians. Reasons for the lack of diagnostic agreement in the five patients are discussed to highlight the barriers for accurately diagnosing catatonia in patients with NDD.

Both rural and disabled children were significantly impacted by the pandemic, particularly in terms of service utilization. Therefore, this study seeks to identify rural–urban differences in the prevalence of various disability indicators and in the receipt of educational and healthcare services. Data from 12,828 children aged 2–17 who participated in the 2021–2022 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) was used to examine rural–urban differences in three different disability indicators and in education and health services utilization. Disability indicators included the Washington Group Short Set Composite Disability Indicator, a developmental disability indicator, and a neurodivergence indicator. Bivariate analysis, via Rao-Scott chi-square tests, was used to examine rural–urban disparities. Compared to their urban counterparts, rural children were more likely to have a positive Washington Group Short Set Composite Disability Indicator (14.3% vs. 10.6%) and neurodivergence indicator (17Ð.3% vs. 14.1%). Rural children with disabilities were more likely to have received prescription medication for behavioral, mental, or emotional health or concentration in the past year than urban children (34.2% vs. 25.9%). There was no rural–urban difference in the prevalence of developmental disabilities or other forms of health care use and special education participation. This report highlights the need for further investigation into underlying causes of rural–urban disparities in the prevalence of disabilities, as well as the need for continued support for programs and policies designed to support rural children with disabilities.
