IU is strongly associated with autism and anxiety, yet no studies have examined its symptom profile in autistic children. This study compares IU symptom profiles in autistic and NT children and in autistic children with and without anxiety using the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale for Children. Compared to NT peers, autistic children exhibited heightened IU symptoms in all domains, affective, behavioral, and cognitive; affective symptoms had the highest association with autism. Autistic children with anxiety also exhibited elevated IU symptoms in all domains compared to those without anxiety; behavioral IU symptoms had the highest association with anxiety. IU symptom profiles should be considered in assessment and treatment.

Longitudinal predictors of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in autism: Examining relationships with ritualistic behavior and social diagnostic features / Madison SURMACZ in Development and Psychopathology, 38-4 (October 2026)

Core autism features have been linked to internalizing and externalizing symptoms, yet longitudinal pathways remain unclear. This study examined how ritualistic and social diagnostic features predict later internalizing and externalizing behaviors in school-age autistic children. Caregivers reported ritualistic behavior (PDDBI), social diagnostic features (SRS-2), and internalizing and externalizing behaviors (CASI-5; BASC-3) at two time points (baseline Mage = 8.50, SD = 1.62, range = 6.0–11.5; follow-up Mage = 12.67, SD = 1.79, range = 8.7–16.1). Children (n = 139) were 79.1% male (n = 110), 20.9% female (n = 29), 5% African American/Black (n = 7), 0.7% American Indian/Alaska Native (n = 1), 7.2% Asian (n = 10), 17.3% Mixed Race (n = 24), 1.4% Other (n = 2), 68.3% White (n = 95), 17.3% Hispanic/Latinx (n = 24), and 82.7% non-Hispanic/Latinx (n = 115). Ritualistic behavior and social diagnostic features were associated at baseline (r = .590). Baseline ritualistic behavior predicted later internalizing behaviors, while neither social diagnostic features nor ritualistic behavior predicted later externalizing behaviors. Findings underscore the importance of examining specific core autism features, particularly ritualistic behavior, as early indicators of internalizing and externalizing challenges across development.

Reduced delay-based executive function in autistic toddlers and preschoolers / Amanda CREMONE-CAIRA in Autism, 30-4 (April 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 30-4 (April 2026) . - p.958-971 Titre : Reduced delay-based executive function in autistic toddlers and preschoolers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amanda CREMONE-CAIRA, Auteur ; Gina SCHNUR, Auteur ; Madison SURMACZ, Auteur ; Susan FAJA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.958-971 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  cognitive development  delay of gratification  executive control  hot executive function  preschool  reward Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : “Hot” or reward-based executive function describes the regulatory skills needed to suppress or delay actions in emotionally salient contexts. These delay-based executive function skills impact social development, mental health, and academic achievement. Accumulating evidence indicates that autistic children (3 years or older) show reduced delay-based executive function relative to neurotypical counterparts. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether these findings extend to younger children (younger than 3 years). Our secondary aim was to determine whether the strategies employed during delay-based executive function tasks differed between autistic and neurotypical toddlers, to understand why autistic children often experience difficulty in this domain. A behavioral battery was administered to measure delay-based executive function in autistic and neurotypical children, aged 2 and 4 years. Consistent with evidence in older children, delay-based executive function was reduced in autistic toddlers. Autistic 2-year-olds waited less during tasks that utilized food rewards, whereas autistic 4-year-olds waited less during tasks using both food- and non-food-based incentives. Autistic children also used significantly less adaptive strategies during tasks. These results are the first to indicate diagnostic differences in delay-based executive function among children as young as 2 years and may inform interventions that target these skills to improve related developmental outcomes.Lay Abstract “Hot” executive function involves the ability to control actions when emotions are involved. For example, a situation when an individual must resist a temptation requires hot executive function. These skills are important for social growth, mental health, and doing well in school. Research shows that autistic children over 3 years of age are less likely to use these skills compared to other children. This study examined whether autistic children under 3 years of age show similar difficulties. We also examined whether autistic children use different strategies than neurotypical children. To find out, we asked both autistic and neurotypical children, ages 2 and 4 years, to complete tasks that required them to delay their responses. The study found that, like older autistic children, younger autistic children also delayed their responses less than neurotypical children. Autistic 2-year-olds waited less for rewards, like food, compared to their neurotypical peers. Similarly, autistic 4-year-olds waited less for both food and other types of rewards, compared to their neurotypical peers. Relative to their neurotypical peers, autistic children also used fewer effective strategies during these tasks. These findings suggest that even very young autistic children have differences in impulse control, which might help in creating better support and interventions for them.
