Heterogeneity of sensory features in autism spectrum disorder: Challenges and perspectives for future research / Mirko ULJAREVIC in Autism Research, 10-5 (May 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-5 (May 2017) . - p.703-710 Titre : Heterogeneity of sensory features in autism spectrum disorder: Challenges and perspectives for future research Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mirko ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; Grace T. BARANEK, Auteur ; Giacomo VIVANTI, Auteur ; Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; Kristelle HUDRY, Auteur ; Alison LANE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.703-710 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Pronounced heterogeneity is apparent across every facet of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and it remains difficult to predict likely future potential among individuals who share a common diagnosis of ASD on the basis of early presentation. In this commentary we argue that a fine-grained understanding of individual differences in sensory features and their influence across the life span can constrain noted clinical heterogeneity in ASD. We organize our discussion around the following three critical themes: (a) considering sensory features as dimensional construct; (b) taking an “individual differences” approach; and (c) adopting a comprehensive, multidimensional and multimodal approach to measurement of sensory features. We conclude that future research will need to investigate individual differences in sensory features via: (1) multidimensional and cross-disciplinary examination, (2) prospective longitudinal designs, and (3) dimensional and developmental frameworks that emphasize the potential value of early individual variability as indicators of later outcomes, not only in relation to the categorical diagnostic outcome status but also the presence of other clinical features. This is a key time for sensory-related research and in this commentary we provide some of the steps that, in our opinion, can shape future research in this area.

Sensory subtypes and anxiety in older children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder / Mirko ULJAREVIC in Autism Research, 9-10 (October 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 9-10 (October 2016) . - p.1073-1078 Titre : Sensory subtypes and anxiety in older children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mirko ULJAREVIC, Auteur ; Alison LANE, Auteur ; Amanda KELLY, Auteur ; Susan LEEKAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1073-1078 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : sensory  subtypes  anxiety  autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to identify sensory subtypes in older children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and examine the relationship of sensory subtypes with anxiety levels in this group. Mothers of 57 children and adolescents with ASD aged 11–17 years (Mean age?=?14 years. 2.4 months, SD?=?1.81) completed the short sensory profile and Spence anxiety scales. Model-based cluster analysis was applied to sensory profile scores to identify sensory subtypes. Three sensory subtypes, sensory adaptive (N?=?19), sensory moderate (N?=?29) and sensory severe (N?=?9) were identified. The results indicated that the differences between the subtypes were well characterised by the severity of sensory symptoms and were not attributable to sensory modality or varying types of sensory-related behaviors. Children and adolescents from the adaptive subtype had significantly lower anxiety scores when compared with other two subtypes. There were no differences between subtypes based on chronological age, expressive language, or severity of autism diagnostic features as measured by the social communication questionnaire (SCQ total score). This is the first study to identify the existence of sensory subtypes among older children and adolescents with ASD and explore their association with anxiety levels.

The Association Between Maternal Asthma and Child Autism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis / Renee VAN DER SCHAAF in Autism Research, 18-8 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 18-8 (August 2025) . - p.1630-1650 Titre : The Association Between Maternal Asthma and Child Autism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Renee VAN DER SCHAAF, Auteur ; Vanessa E. MURPHY, Auteur ; Soriah HARVEY, Auteur ; Paige DENT, Auteur ; Alison LANE, Auteur ; Olivia WHALEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1630-1650 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : asthma  asthma medication  autism  child  infant  maternal  pregnancy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Maternal asthma has been linked to child autism. In this study, we systematically reviewed observational studies published between July 2001 and February 2024 that assessed maternal asthma during pregnancy (exposure) and child autism (outcome). Databases searched included MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and PsycINFO. Of the 350 potential studies, 19 met the inclusion criteria (2,530,716 participants; 73,065 autistic participants). Quality was assessed with the Newcastle?Ottawa Scale. Meta-analyses using proportions and odds ratios were conducted using the Mantel?Haenszel method with a random-effects model. Compared to women without asthma, there was an increased odds of child autism with any history of maternal asthma (OR?=?1.32; 95% CI?=?1.21, 1.44; I2?=?61%, n?=?14), with current asthma during pregnancy (OR?=?1.23; 95% CI?=?1.12, 1.35; I2?=?35%, n?=?10) and with medication use during pregnancy (OR?=?1.48; 95% CI?=?1.30, 1.68; I2?=?0%, n?=?3). However, when women with asthma who used asthma medication were compared to those with asthma who did not use medication, there were no increased odds for child autism (OR?=?1.07; 95% CI?=?0.89, 1.27; I2?=?34%, n?=?2). Maternal asthma is associated with an increased odds of child autism. Future studies should consider neurodivergence in the parents, the severity of asthma, and the effectiveness of prescribed medication in managing the mother's asthma to improve our understanding of this association.
