The wide range of prevalence estimates is partly due to the lack of standardized, validated measures of GI symptoms among people with ASD. The goal of this study was to (1) develop a measure, which included non-verbal and mealtime behaviors, to assess for GI symptoms and (2) evaluate its psychometric characteristics. This was accomplished by drawing on two existing tools, Autism Treatment Network Gastrointestinal Inventory and the Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory, and deriving new items, to create the "ASD Gastrointestinal and Related Behaviors Inventory" (ASD-GIRBI). The ASD-GIRBI was piloted in an online registry of families with a child with ASD. A psychometric analysis was carried out in a sample of 334 children aged 6-17 years with ASD, resulting in a 36-item tool. The Cronbach's alpha for the overall scale was 0.88. Exploratory factor analysis identified a seven-factor model (1. Bowel movement pain; 2. Aggressive or disruptive during mealtimes; 3. Particular with foods; 4. Abdominal pain and upset stomach; 5. Refusing food; 6. Constipation and encopresis; 7. Motor or other behaviors). Following validation in an independent sample with clinical evaluation of GI symptoms, this tool will be helpful for both research and clinical purposes.

Prenatal exposure to fever is associated with autism spectrum disorder in the boston birth cohort / Martha BRUCATO in Autism Research, 10-11 (November 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-11 (November 2017) . - p.1878-1890 Titre : Prenatal exposure to fever is associated with autism spectrum disorder in the boston birth cohort Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Martha BRUCATO, Auteur ; Christine LADD-ACOSTA, Auteur ; Mengying LI, Auteur ; Deanna CARUSO, Auteur ; Xiumei HONG, Auteur ; Jamie KACZANIUK, Auteur ; Elizabeth A. STUART, Auteur ; M. Daniele FALLIN, Auteur ; Xiaobin WANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1878-1890 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder (ASD)  environmental exposure  maternal exposure  fever  epidemiology  risk factors  minority health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is phenotypically and etiologically heterogeneous, with evidence for genetic and environmental contributions to disease risk. Research has focused on the prenatal period as a time where environmental exposures are likely to influence risk for ASD. Epidemiological studies have shown significant associations between prenatal exposure to maternal immune activation (MIA), caused by infections and fever, and ASD. However, due to differences in study design and exposure measurements no consistent patterns have emerged revealing specific times or type of MIA exposure that are most important to ASD risk. No prior studies have examined prenatal MIA exposure and ASD risk in an under-represented minority population of African ancestry. To overcome these limitations, we estimated the association between prenatal exposure to fever and maternal infections and ASD in a prospective birth cohort of an understudied minority population in a city in the United States. No association was found between prenatal exposure to genitourinary infections or flu and the risk of ASD in a nested sample of 116 ASD cases and 988 typically developing controls in crude or adjusted analyses. Prenatal exposure to fever was associated with increased ASD risk (aOR 2.02 [1.04–3.92]) after adjustment for educational attainment, marital status, race, child sex, maternal age, birth year, gestational age, and maternal smoking. This effect may be specific to fever during the third trimester (aOR 2.70 [1.00–7.29]). Our findings provide a focus for future research efforts and ASD prevention strategies across diverse populations. Autism Res 2017, 10: 1878–1890. © 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Lay Summary We looked at whether activation of the immune system during pregnancy increases the chance a child will develop ASD. We examined 116 children with ASD and 988 children without ASD that came from a predominantly low income, urban, minority population. We found that having the flu or genitourinary tract infections during pregnancy is not related to the child being diagnosed with ASD. However, we did find children were at increased risk for ASD when their mothers had a fever during pregnancy.

Resilience to COVID-19-related challenges in preschool-aged children with and without autism spectrum disorder / Eric J. MOODY in Research in Autism, 128 (October 2025)

From January 2021 to June 2021 a cross-sectional questionnaire measuring the pandemic’s impact on participants was administered to participants from The Study to Explore Early Development (SEED; N = 641). A sum score of items measuring child resilience was computed as an outcome. A Tobit regression was used to model the impact of child’s ASD status, demographic variables, child developmental characteristics, family income, parent work characteristics, and other family and maternal characteristics. There was no association between resilience and ASD status, but it was inversely related to maternal mental health challenges. Resilience was also significantly lower for Asian than non-Hispanic White children and inversely associated with child behavior problems. There was an interaction between loss of work and the family income. Child resilience is a complex phenomenon impacted by child, family, and social factors. Further research is needed to understand how to address factors negatively associated with child resilience and promote factors positively associated with child resilience. Focusing on family and social factors, along with direct child support, may promote resilience in all children.
