We describe parent-reported wandering in children with autism in early childhood and adolescence and characterize wandering in adolescence. Of 258 teens with autism enrolled in the Study to Explore Early Development, caregivers reported that 45% never wandered, 41% wandered only in early childhood, and 14% wandered at least once in adolescence (including 9% that wandered at both time points). Childhood externalizing behavior problems were positively associated with wandering only in early childhood and at least once in adolescence compared to never wandered (both p < .01). Adolescents who wandered most often left public places (58.3%). To address wandering, caregivers most often added home locks/alarms (30.6%) and least often placed a tracking device (8.3%) on the adolescent. In conclusion, wandering is less common among adolescents than young children with autism but still presents opportunities for intervention. These findings can help partners communicate that childhood externalizing behavior problems are associated with wandering regardless of age and promote awareness of and access to interventions that can improve health and safety.Lay Abstract Wandering occurs when a child leaves a safe space. Children with autism wander more than other children. This can lead to serious injury. We describe wandering in children and adolescents with autism. In total, 258 teens with autism were included in the analysis. Caregivers reported that 45% never wandered, 41% wandered only in early childhood, and 14% wandered at least once in adolescence (including 9% that wandered at both time points). Children with behaviors like hyperactivity were more likely to wander in both early childhood and adolescence. Adolescents who wandered most often left public places (58.3%). To address wandering, caregivers most often added home locks/alarms (30.6%) and least often placed a tracking device (8.3%) on the adolescent. In sum, wandering is less common among adolescents than young children with autism. However, we can still help families with adolescents with autism who wander. One way to help these families is to educate people that behavior problems like hyperactivity are associated with wandering regardless of age. Another way to help these families is to increase ways to address wandering away from the home to keep adolescents with autism safe.

Prevalence of Developmental, Psychiatric, and Neurologic Conditions in Older Siblings of Children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder: Study to Explore Early Development / Victoria L. FIELDS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-11 (November 2025)

SHAPIRA, Auteur ; Laura A. SCHIEVE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3785-3797 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study evaluated developmental, psychiatric, and neurologic conditions among older siblings of children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to understand the extent of familial clustering of these diagnoses. Using data from the Study to Explore Early Development, a large multi-site case-control study, the analyses included 2,963 children aged 2–5 years with ASD, other developmental disabilities (DD group), and a population-based control group (POP). Percentages of index children with older siblings with select developmental, psychiatric, and neurologic conditions were estimated and compared across index child study groups using chi-square tests and multivariable modified Poisson regression. In adjusted analyses, children in the ASD group were significantly more likely than children in the POP group to have one or more older siblings with ASD, developmental delay, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disability, sensory integration disorder (SID), speech/language delays, or a psychiatric diagnosis (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] range: 1.4–3.7). Children in the DD group were significantly more likely than children in the POP group to have an older sibling with most of the aforementioned conditions, except for intellectual disability and psychiatric diagnosis (aPR range: 1.4–2.2). Children in the ASD group were significantly more likely than children in the DD group to have one or more older siblings with ASD, developmental delay, SID, or a psychiatric diagnosis (aPR range: 1.4–1.9). These findings suggest that developmental disorders cluster in families. Increased monitoring and screening for ASD and other DDs may be warranted when an older sibling has a DD diagnosis or symptoms.
