Dimensional Validation of the Italian Revised Version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ-r) for Children and Adolescents with ASD / Ilenia LE DONNE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

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

Qualitative Differences in Attribution of Mental States to Other People in Autism and Schizophrenia: What are the Tools for Differential Diagnosis? / Monica MAZZA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-3 (March 2022)

This study explored the differences between ASD (n = 44) and SSD patients (n = 59), compared to typically developing peers (n = 63), in completing an advanced Theory of Mind (ToM) task. The outcome found several differences between groups. The SSD patients showed greater difficulty in understanding social scenarios, while ASD individuals understood the stories, but did not correctly identify the protagonist's intention. The interesting aspect of the results is that some ToM stories are more informative about the mentalistic reasoning of the two clinical groups, namely, the stories that investigate pretend, persuasion, double bluff and ironic joke constructs.
