Integrating Chatbots: Supporting the College Transition for Autistic Students in Texas / Han Bum LEE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-12 (December 2026) . - p.4601-4614 Titre : Integrating Chatbots: Supporting the College Transition for Autistic Students in Texas Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Han Bum LEE, Auteur ; Humberto PEÑA, Auteur ; Yi-Fan LI, Auteur ; Nancy CHEAK-ZAMORA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4601-4614 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite strides in reducing postsecondary enrollment disparities between students with and without disabilities, the transition to postsecondary education remains particularly challenging for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These students encounter unique barriers that necessitate tailored support during the college application process. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly personalized assistance, offer promising opportunities for enhancing inclusivity in educational counseling. This study explored the application of AI to assist autistic students in navigating the complexities of the college admissions process by examining ADVi, an AI chatbot that communicates through text messages to provide information, suggest actionable steps, and answer college admission-related inquiries. We used a multilevel negative binomial regression model to examine whether autistic students showed a distinct need for AI-based assistance during their transition to higher education. This analysis was based on data from 115,354 college-aspiring students who graduated from public high schools in Texas in 2021, of whom 807 identified as having ASD. Autistic students utilized ADVi significantly more than their typically developing peers, particularly among those with lower prior test achievement (a composite measure based on five state-mandated tests administered during high school). In the bottom tertile of prior test achievement, autistic students sent 132.2% more messages than their peers; the difference was 78.5% in the middle tertile and 36.2% in the top tertile. These results highlight the increased utilization of ADVi by autistic students and suggest a potential need for additional AI tools to facilitate smoother educational transitions for students requiring specialized assistance.

However, these features do not support making purchasing decisions based on what is best for the individual. The current study sought to answer this research question: (1) What are the effects of an intervention package—consisting of a mnemonic, task analysis, and BST when delivered remotely—on the acquisition of decision-making skills related to online purchases among adults with IDD? A multiple probe across participants design was conducted with three adults with intellectual and developmental disability to answer the research question. Results of the study indicated a functional relation between the intervention package and the dependent variable. Furthermore, the decision-making skills maintained up to six weeks post intervention and generalized to novel online shopping websites. Participants, parents, and professionals viewed the intervention as socially significant as indicated by survey responses. This intervention package can be a feasible way to teach decision-making related to online shopping.

Four children with ASD and four TD children attending mainstream school settings participated. A multiple baseline design across dyads was used to measure the effects of the intervention on the social behaviors of participants. After the intervention, all children increased their rates of social responses, one child with ASD increased his rate of social initiations and three TD children increased their rates of social initiations. Additionally, inappropriate social behaviors decreased for three children with ASD. The improvements were maintained for all participants. These findings suggest that a PMI-PRT implemented during iPad-based academic tasks may be a viable option for targeting the inclusive education of students with ASD, especially for promoting positive social relationships with peers.

Thirty children with ASD (median age: 5.8 years; 20 males) were randomly assigned to either the RMBI group or a control group. Participants in the RMBI group underwent an 8-week program comprising a music-based rhythmic motor intervention and parent education in Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), while parents in the control group received PRT education only. Changes in motor performance were assessed using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Second Edition (PDMS-2) and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2). Parent-reported social impairments were evaluated using the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2). A micro-analytic behavioral analysis was conducted to examine changes in imitation accuracy and movement synchrony during the intervention. The RMBI program showed medium-to-large improvements in gross motor skills, including stationary and locomotor abilities, visual-motor integration, and balance. Significant improvements were observed in autistic symptoms and social communication abilities. Furthermore, children in the RMBI group demonstrated enhanced imitation accuracy and movement synchrony compared to their baseline performance. These preliminary findings were further supported by parental reports of satisfaction with the program. This pilot study provides preliminary evidence of the feasibility and potential benefits of the RMBI program in enhancing motor and social skills in preschool children with ASD. Although the results are promising, further research with larger samples and longer follow-up is needed to confirm its efficacy and generalizability.

Previous studies have suggested that certain health-related behaviors in children with ASD, such as sleep or physical activity, may affect FQoL. However, the relative and independent effects of different health-related behaviors on FQoL remain poorly understood. This study investigated the relationship between sleep, mealtime difficulties, screen time, physical activity, and FQoL in ASD. Parents of 65 children with ASD aged four to thirteen years completed a detailed assessment of their children’s health-related behaviors and FQoL. A multiple regression framework was used to estimate the independent contribution of each health-related behavior to FQoL. Only sleep and mealtime problems were independently associated with lower FQoL, even after controlling for physical activity, screen time, gender, age, traits of ASD, and intelligence, accounting for a 60, and 3% of the variance, respectively. All categories of sleep and mealtime problems were associated with FQoL, with particularly strong correlations for sleep anxiety (r =.71), daytime sleepiness (r =.70), and food refusal (r =.72). In addition to core autistic features, sleep and mealtime behaviors are associated with FQoL in children with ASD. Interventions aimed at improving sleep habits and reducing mealtime difficulties many enhance FQoL in children with ASD.

The goal of the current investigation was to conduct a randomized controlled 24-week pilot trial to examine the efficacy of a Developmental Reciprocity Treatment package (DRT-P), a developmentally-based intervention that includes both parent training and direct treatment with the child, compared to a delayed treatment group (DTG). Thirty-seven children aged 2–5 years with ASD and language delay were randomized. 83% of parents in DRT-P met fidelity of implementation criteria by 24 weeks. Controlling for fidelity, participants in DRT-P showed significantly greater improvement on the Social Responsiveness Scale Total Score (F = 5.00; p = 0.034) and the Clinical Global Impressions Improvement scale; however no significant group differences were observed on the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, or the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventories. Findings suggest DRT is a promising intervention for improving some aspects of social functioning in young children with ASD. Future research exploring how behavioral and developmental interventions can be optimally combined to target core social difficulties along with adaptive and functional communication skills is expected to be beneficial.

Music Education for Autistic Children with Intellectual Disability: Parental Attitudes and Support / Di Chao LIANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)

While research highlights the developmental benefits of music for autistic children with ID, few studies explore formal music training in this population, particularly within the context of cultural influences. The study included 148 participants, consisting of 84 parents of typically developing children and 64 parents of autistic children with ID. A questionnaire was used to assess parental attitudes toward music and their decisions regarding formal music training enrollment for their children. Covariates such as family income, child executive function, and parental expectations were analyzed to identify potential predictors. Parents of autistic children with ID held more positive attitudes toward music compared to parents of typically developing children when controlling for covariates. However, only 14.1% of autistic children with ID were enrolled in formal music training, in contrast to 40.4% of typically developing children. Family income and child executive function emerged as significant barriers to enrollment decisions. The findings highlight a disparity between positive parental attitudes toward music and pursuit of music education among autistic children with ID, highlighting systemic and financial barriers. Accessible music programs, adjustments in parental expectations, and inclusive policies may bridge the gap between parental attitudes and actual support. These insights call for targeted interventions to ensure that autistic children with ID can access the developmental benefits of music education.

Description and Evaluation of a Co-design Process Involved in the Creation of a Workforce Training Package Aiding Sport and Exercise Professionals Work with Autistic Young People / Jessica HILL in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-12 (December 2026) . - p.4711-4726 Titre : Description and Evaluation of a Co-design Process Involved in the Creation of a Workforce Training Package Aiding Sport and Exercise Professionals Work with Autistic Young People Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jessica HILL, Auteur ; Brittany WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Gilly MCKEOWN, Auteur ; Sjaan R. GOMERSALL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4711-4726 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Increasingly, researchers are encouraged to include consumers and stakeholders in the development of health and service provider education. This is particularly important for education relating to autistic people to ensure that resources are developed from a neurodiversity-affirming lens. Limited literature exists outlining or evaluating the processes used within co-design autism research. This study aimed to describe and qualitatively evaluate the co-design process used in the development of a training package for community sport and exercise professionals working with autistic young people. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the 10 consumers and stakeholders involved in this co-design project. Interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. From the transcripts, four themes emerged. In theme 1 members described characteristics relating to the co-design process they perceived enhanced their engagement. Members emphasised the importance of the project being consumer and stakeholder led, and flexible to support each person’s needs. In theme 2 members described the connection they felt to the other group members, facilitated by the creation of an emotionally safe environment. In theme 3 members discussed how the processes put in place and the supportive environment created resulted in a holistic understanding of the skills and knowledge community sport and exercise professionals need to effectively work with young autistic people. In theme 4 members provided recommendations for future co-design research. Consumer and stakeholders involved in this project described an overall positive experience of the co-design process, with findings resulting in three key recommendations to support future autism co-design research.

Analyzing Emotion Regulation Behaviors in Children and Adolescents with Non-Specific Intellectual Developmental Disabilities (NS-IDDs) During a Game Situation / Mélanie VY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)

Behaviors of forty participants with NS-IDDs and forty typically developing (TD) children matched on verbal developmental age were observed and collected while they performed a task based on a simple game, The Great Ant Race, conceived to elicit both negative and positive emotions. Additionally, caregivers of each participant completed the Emotion Regulation Checklist-vf, a questionnaire assessing the participant’s emotion regulation skills in daily life. Results first revealed significant differences in emotion regulation skills between NS-IDD and TD participants, both on the caregiver’s questionnaire and in the behavioral data, with some links between the two types of data. Second, cluster analyses on behavioral data revealed three distinct behavioral profiles, differing in their proportions of NS-IDD and TD participants, but also in terms of chronological age, level of verbal development and caregiver-rated emotion regulation skills. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of emotion regulation behaviors in youth with NS-IDDs, emphasizing the value of precise behavioral observations to better understand individual specificities and adapt interventions and support.

Synchronization of facial expressions during interaction is considered a facilitator of empathic behavior. Autistic individuals show alterations in synchronous and empathic behaviors. Yet, an ecological examination of these among adolescents is needed. Through a video-based platform, we employed a social interaction sequence with a nonautistic confederate that included a friendly conversation and an expression of discouragement. 50 male adolescents (23 autistic) participated. Socio-emotional behaviors, assessed by naïve trained raters and by automated measure of facial expressions, were analyzed. Results indicated reduced synchrony in interactions with autistic adolescents, compared to non-autistic adolescents, as well as fewer empathic behaviors. Participants’ emotion recognition abilities did not account for these differences. Our findings point to the central role of behavioral synchrony in the social disparities autistic adolescents often experience.

Dyadic Synchrony and Responsiveness Within the Context of Elevated Autism Likelihood: Applying Time-Varying Effect Models / A. KELLERMAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)

Difficulty developing competence in these early social building blocks is linked to later developmental concerns, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Currently, metrics for quantifying social competence rely primarily on mean-level indices; however, interactions are dynamic. The present study modeled change in the odds of dyadic synchrony (DS), maternal responsiveness (MR), and infant responsiveness (IR) over time to explore if temporal patterns can inform developmental monitoring. Dyads were recruited from families with at least one older child with ASD (elevated ASD likelihood, n = 95) or families with no history of ASD (typical ASD likelihood, n = 72). Theory-driven indices of dyadic synchrony and responsiveness were derived from micro-analytically coded gaze, positive affect, and vocalizations. A series of logistic time-varying effect models (TVEMs) were conducted to compare temporal changes in synchrony and responsiveness across the infant/toddler groupings of (1) elevated- vs typical-ASD likelihood and (2) typical (TYP), ASD, or other developmental concerns (Non-ASD DC). DS, IR, and MR patterns were temporally stable but lower for the elevated ASD likelihood group. Temporal patterns of DS, IR, and MR were more variable for the ASD and Non-ASD DC groups. TVEMs captured meaningful dyadic information and could be used in future studies to inform prospective monitoring and parent-mediated intervention approaches.

Methods: A total of 43 toddlers with ASD aged 2–4 years, 44 age- and gender- matched toddlers with developmental delay (DD) and 18 typically developing (TD) children were recruited. All participants underwent whole-brain high-resolution MRI and clinical assessments. Brain structural data were analyzed using Surface-Based Morphometry with FreeSurfer. Linear mixed-effects models were employed to identify differences in brain regions between groups and to explore their links with clinical behaviors. Results: Compared to TD group, ASD group demonstrated increased cortical thickness and volume, particularly within the frontal and parietal brain regions (FDR, p < 0.05). When compared to DD, ASD group exhibited a distinction in the increased cortical volume within the posterior frontal lobe and middle-post cingulate (FDR, p < 0.05). DD children had increased cortical thickness and cortical volume in the superior parietal gyrus compared to TD (FDR, p < 0.05). In the ASD + DD group, increased cortical thickness of the superior frontal sulcus was correlated with lower adaptive behavior, while reduced nucleus accumbens volume and increased cortical thickness of the superior frontal sulcus and precentral sulcus were associated with decreased language development (FDR, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our study found widespread brain abnormalities in young children with ASD, notably altered cortical volume and thickness in frontal and parietal lobes. These findings may serve as important indicators of altered brain development trajectories in this population.

We recruited 105 Latinx families of children with IDD across Texas and Illinois. We used conditional process models to examine the associations between demographic variables, SDOH, sociocultural factors (social support and family cohesion), and outcomes including maternal quality of life (QoL) and family functioning. We also tested whether sociocultural factors moderated the relationships between selected SDOH and the study outcomes. We found that not being a homeowner, experiencing food insecurity, and having greater levels of perceived discrimination were associated with lower maternal QoL. We also found that food insecurity and greater levels of perceived discrimination were associated with lower family functioning among Latinx families of children with IDD. Social support and family cohesion were positive correlates of the outcomes; however, they did not show significant moderation effects. On the contrary, we found that perceived discrimination may dampen the impact of social support on maternal QoL. This study highlights the impact of SDOH on the wellbeing of Latinx families of children with IDD. Policies and programs that promote homeownership, reduce food insecurity, and combat discrimination may benefit the wellbeing of Latinx families with children with IDD.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between these factors and the elevated likelihood of being diagnosed with ASD in the very preterm and very low birth weight population. Conducted as a prospective longitudinal study, this research monitored 133 neonates born very preterm (less than 32 weeks of gestation) or weighing less than 1,500 g at birth from birth until 2 years of age. Having a mother born abroad, low gestational age, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, hearing loss, longer NICU stay and low Apgar score of 10 min were associated with an increase in suspected ASD. Conversely, cesarean delivery, and full-dose corticosteroid maturation were associated with a lower incidence of ASD. Some factors associated with ASD in the very preterm population may differ from those found in the general population. Large-scale studies with longitudinal datasets are warranted.

Conducted as a prospective longitudinal study, this research monitored 133 neonates born very preterm (less than 32 weeks of gestation) or weighing less than 1,500 g at birth from birth until 2 years of age. Having a mother born abroad, low gestational age, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, hearing loss, longer NICU stay and low Apgar score of 10 min were associated with an increase in suspected ASD. Conversely, cesarean delivery, and full-dose corticosteroid maturation were associated with a lower incidence of ASD. Some factors associated with ASD in the very preterm population may differ from those found in the general population. Large-scale studies with longitudinal datasets are warranted.

Using nationwide retrospective data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2019, we included 19,474 children born to female cancer survivors under 40 years old. Propensity-score matching (1:3) with 58,422 controls born to women without cancer was conducted. NDDs were identified using ICD-10 codes. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated to assess the relative risk. Children born to cancer survivors had a higher overall risk of NDDs (HR = 1.10; 95% CI 1.05–1.15), with specific elevated risks for cerebral palsy (HR = 1.38; 95% CI 1.05–1.81), developmental delay (HR = 1.16; 95% CI 1.06–1.26), and epileptic and febrile seizures (HR = 1.06; 95% CI 1.01–1.12). The risk was particularly elevated in children whose mothers were diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy (HR = 1.26; 95% CI 1.08–1.47). However, for births occurring more than 5 years after the cancer diagnosis, the difference in NDDs risk was not statistically significant (HR = 1.07; 95% CI 0.98–1.16). The offspring of young female cancer survivors had an increased risk of NDDs compared with the control group. When young female cancer survivors desire pregnancy, healthcare providers should offer appropriate counseling and surveillance for potential adverse NDDs in their offspring.

Considering state-level variability in healthcare access and potential sociodemographic disparities, our primary objectives were: (1) to assess potential differences in rates of service utilization and cumulative ACEs scores among children with autism spectrum disorder (children with autism)) and (2) explore geographic locations where these factors may intersect. Methods: The National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH), a publicly available dataset, was used to explore our objectives. Sociodemographic groupings and ACEs categories were tested using design-based chi-squared tests (χ2). Binary and logistic regression models examined the likelihood a child with ACEs would be receiving support services. We also created an autism support and stability index demonstrating which states provided the most overall support for children with autism. Results: Results demonstrated disparities in rates of ACEs among children with autism regarding urbanicity and region, and by the severity of autism symptoms, age of diagnosis, and whether the child was prescribed medication. Prior research indicates states with lower economic indicators have limited program availability and funding to support services for children with autism. States with the lowest rankings in our study were more likely to be designated Health Professional Shortage Areas for mental health professionals, as well as family physicians. Conclusion: Recommendations for regional differences in access to care and support services for children with autism include increased funding for early intervention programs and improved use of telehealth programs for families living in rural areas.

However, few studies have investigated the role of parents of typically developing (TD) children in this process. The purpose of this study is to identify and assess the key factors that impact and predict their intention to participate in preschool inclusive education. This study conducted a large-scale survey among parents of TD children in Jiangxi, China, and used a structural equation model to validate the influences of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and contact experience on participation intention. The findings revealed a high level of intention among parents of TD children to support preschool inclusive education for children with ASD. The subjective norms were identified to be the strongest predictor of parents’ participation intention, which was not significantly impacted by attitudes or perceived behavioral control. Additionally, demographic analysis showed that parents with prior contact experience with children with ASD were more likely to participate in inclusive education compared to those without such exposure, but the magnitude of the effects was relatively small. These findings underscore the critical roles of social influence and meaningful contact in fostering parent involvement, and provide helpful guidance for educators, policymakers, and social organizations striving to promote inclusive education.

The current study aimed to identify subtypes of language development in children with ASD and to examine how environmental factors, such as parental education, home educational environment and diet affect the severity of their language difficulties. Of the 110 Chinese children aged 3–6 years participated in the study, 80 children diagnosed with ASD and 30 typically developing (TD) children matched for age and gender. Language abilities were assessed using a vocabulary test and the Gesell language subscale. Data-driven, two-step clustering was used to identify ASD language subtypes. Additionally, information about the parents’ years of education and the number of adult and children’s books in the household collected. Questionnaires regarding the children’s dietary ‘pickiness’ were also completed. The data-driven clustering analysis revealed an optimum of two language subtypes in ASD individuals with different symptom severity and social subtypes. The lower language ability group had parents with shorter education duration (ps < 0.01) and fewer books for children (ps < 0.05) compared with the higher ability and TD groups. In the ASD groups there was a positive correlation between parental education duration, number of household books and language ability, but not for dietary “pickiness” as a measure of diet quality. Overall, we have identified two ASD language subgroups with different symptom severity and shown parental education and educational environment may contribute to difficulties in language development.

Notably, parental concerns were associated with the failure of children to master age-appropriate language, motor, and social developmental milestones (OR = 5.27, p < 0.001; OR = 2.46, p = 0.023; and OR = 2.27, p = 0.012, respectively). Nevertheless, even after adjustment for this association, parental concerns were found to be an independent risk factor for ASD (aOR = 7.76; 95%CI = 4.31–13.97).

We recruited 58 adolescents with HFASD and 66 typically developing (TD) controls, matched for age, gender, and full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ). Group-level analysis was conducted to identify variances in fALFF between individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and TD controls. The assessment of symptom severity in individuals with ASD was conducted utilizing the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC). A voxel-wise correlation analysis was performed to investigate the relationships between symptom severity and the fALFF mapping in individuals with ASD, specifically in cerebral regions exhibiting ReHo abnormalities. Compared to TD controls, adolescents with HFASD showed reduced fALFF in several brain regions, including the bilateral inferior parietal lobule (IPL), right precuneus, right postcentral gyrus, bilateral middle temporal gyrus, and left cingulate gyrus. Positive correlations were observed between fALFF values in the left IPL and the Relating, Sensory, and total scores of the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) scale, while fALFF values in the left postcentral gyrus showed positive correlations with the Social self-help scores. These findings suggest that modifications in local spontaneous brain activity within these regions may be associated with the symptomatology of ASD, potentially enhancing our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying the symptoms of ASD and facilitating earlier identification and improved treatment strategies.

While the CST program has undergone four significant revisions to increase feasibility of implementation and has been adapted and implemented in more than 30 countries, currently the Spanish version is outdated and has never been implemented in the U.S. This study aimed to culturally and linguistically adapt the Spanish-version of the CST for a predominantly Spanish-speaking Latino-populated region in the United States. The present study followed a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach and used a phenomenological framework to evaluate the content and cultural appropriateness of the Spanish translation of the CST. Focus groups were conducted with Spanish-speaking and bilingual parents of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis to inform potential modifications needed to establish a culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate curriculum. Findings yielded linguistic and environmental adaptations to the program, particularly related to autism labels and common values of Latino culture, such as personalismo. Results also indicated that the overall content of the program was acceptable for the Spanish speaking Latino community. This study highlights the critical role of community engagement. By actively involving stakeholders in the adaptation process, the CST is tailored to reflect the unique cultural values, language preferences, and lived experiences of the community.

Langues : Anglais (eng) in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-12 (December 2026) . - p.4892-4905 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Caregiver Skills Training (CST) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to improve access to evidence-based services for children with developmental concerns from low-income backgrounds. While the CST program has undergone four significant revisions to increase feasibility of implementation and has been adapted and implemented in more than 30 countries, currently the Spanish version is outdated and has never been implemented in the U.S. This study aimed to culturally and linguistically adapt the Spanish-version of the CST for a predominantly Spanish-speaking Latino-populated region in the United States. The present study followed a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach and used a phenomenological framework to evaluate the content and cultural appropriateness of the Spanish translation of the CST. Focus groups were conducted with Spanish-speaking and bilingual parents of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis to inform potential modifications needed to establish a culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate curriculum. Findings yielded linguistic and environmental adaptations to the program, particularly related to autism labels and common values of Latino culture, such as personalismo. Results also indicated that the overall content of the program was acceptable for the Spanish speaking Latino community. This study highlights the critical role of community engagement. By actively involving stakeholders in the adaptation process, the CST is tailored to reflect the unique cultural values, language preferences, and lived experiences of the community. In doing so, it ensures that the program truly meets their needs, improving efficacy, and reducing attrition.

Project ImPACT Reduces Social Hyporesponsiveness and Translates to More Optimal Expressive Language Outcomes in Some Infants at Increased Likelihood of Autism / Jennifer E. MARKFELD in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-12 (December 2026) . - p.4906-4919 Titre : Project ImPACT Reduces Social Hyporesponsiveness and Translates to More Optimal Expressive Language Outcomes in Some Infants at Increased Likelihood of Autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer E. MARKFELD, Auteur ; Jacob I. FELDMAN, Auteur ; Catherine T. BUSH, Auteur ; Paul J. YODER, Auteur ; Tiffany G. WOYNAROSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4906-4919 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Low responsiveness to sensory stimuli, particularly stimuli that are social in nature (i.e., social hyporesponsiveness), predicts expressive language in autistic children and in infant siblings of autistic children (Sibs-autism), who are at high likelihood for a future diagnosis of autism and developmental language disorder. However, our understanding of whether social hyporesponsiveness can be addressed via early intervention to improve expressive language outcomes of Sibs-autism is limited. This randomized controlled trial investigated whether Project ImPACT, a caregiver-implemented Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI), has an indirect effect on expressive language outcomes by reducing social hyporesponsiveness.  Sibs-autism were randomized into a Project ImPACT group (n = 23) for 12 weeks of intervention, or into a non-Project ImPACT control group (n = 23). Social hyporesponsiveness was measured immediately following intervention, and expressive language was measured three months after the end of intervention. Project ImPACT indirectly influenced distal expressive language outcomes through social hyporesponsiveness, but only for infants whose caregivers had high levels of education at study entry. Clinical implications of the results are discussed.

Auditory Global-Local Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis / Min ZHU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-12 (December 2026)

While visual global-local processing in ASD has been widely studied, understanding of auditory processing across global and local levels remains less defined. To clarify the mixed findings in the literature, we conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis and searched for potential factors that might explain the heterogeneity of previous studies. Our thorough search across four electronic databases up to 2025 identified 25 eligible studies for quantitative synthesis, focusing on comparisons of auditory global-local pitch processing between individuals with ASD and typically developing peers. Our findings indicated that the pooled effect size (Hedges’ g = -0.05) for global pitch processing was not statistically significant, whereas there was a significant, albeit modest, pooled effect size (Hedges’ g = 0.29) for local pitch processing. Significant moderators influencing global pitch processing included the number of answer choices, language typology, and participants’ vocabulary size, while inconsistencies in local pitch processing outcomes were associated with the vocabulary size of autistic participants and variations in task paradigms employed. Overall, this meta-analysis supports the notion that individuals with ASD tend to prefer local pitch processing without apparent deficits in global processing abilities, aligning with the Enhanced Perceptual Functioning model. These findings contribute to our understanding of auditory processing differences in ASD, and offer implications for targeted interventions and further research directions.

Therefore, the present study aimed to design and develop an integrated developmental model of autistic children based on parent–child adaptation within the family system. This qualitative research was conducted using a grounded theory approach. The population consisted of parents of autistic children in Tehran, from whom 14 parents (both men and women) were selected through purposive and theoretical sampling at the Masir Center and were interviewed, adhering to ethical considerations, lasting approximately 50 to 60 min. Following the interviews, the findings were coded using Strauss and Corbin’s method at three levels: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The findings of this research were discussed within the framework of underlying factors (enriching children’s experiences), predisposing factors (environmental supports), mediating factors (organizational supports), growth-oriented coping strategies (implementation of an integrated development education program), and consequential outcomes (integrated developmental transformation of autistic children). Findings revealed the impact of collaboration and coordination within the support and therapeutic system on effective adaptation and development in autistic children. Therefore, attending to a multifaceted and integrated perspective in the development and adaptation processes of these children within the family system is required when interacting with them and designing educational programs.

Menopause is experienced differently by autistic individuals, although no studies have investigated this topic in a large sample. The purpose of this study was to investigate rates of, and factors associated with symptomatic menopause among autistic individuals and to identify the prevalence of co-occurring conditions in symptomatic individuals. We included autistic females aged 35–70 years enrolled for 10 + months in 2014–2016 Medicare and/or Medicaid (n = 26,904), excluding those with gender dysphoria. Those with symptomatic menopause were compared to a non-symptomatic reference group on demographic, enrollment characteristics, and co-occurring conditions through logistic regression. Approximately 4% of publicly-insured autistic females aged 46–70 years had symptomatic menopause in their medical records. Intellectual disability was associated with a lower likelihood of symptomatic menopause, and being Medicare-enrolled or dual-enrolled was associated with higher likelihood of having symptomatic menopause recorded. In adjusted models, rates of ADHD, anxiety and depressive disorders, headache/migraine, altered sensory experiences, altered sexual function, and sleep disturbance were significantly higher in the symptomatic menopause sample compared to the reference group. More work to better support autistic women in discussing menopausal symptoms and co-occurring conditions with primary care providers is needed, particularly among those for whom self-report of symptoms are more challenging to ascertain. Factors associated with specific types of health care coverage warrant greater investigation to support better identification.
