Birth seasonality and risk of autism spectrum disorder

In the first multinational study of birth seasonality of autism spectrum disorder, there was evidence supporting the presence of seasonal trends in Finland and Sweden

Research

Parent-observed thematic data on quality of life in children with autism spectrum disorder

Parent observations provide an initial framework for understanding quality of life in autism spectrum disorder

Research

An integrative analysis of non-coding regulatory DNA variations associated with autism spectrum disorder

Overall, we found that the regulatory variants in autism spectrum disorder cases were enriched in ASD-risk genes and genes involved in fetal neurodevelopment

Research

Increased facial asymmetry in autism spectrum conditions is associated with symptom presentation

Significantly greater depth-wise facial asymmetry was identified in autistic children relative to the two comparison groups

Research

Subgroups of Temperament Associated with Social-Emotional Difficulties in Infants with Early Signs of Autism

Links between temperament and social-emotional difficulties are well-established in normative child development but remain poorly characterized in autism. We sought to characterize distinct temperament subgroups and their associations with concurrent internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a sample of 103 infants showing early signs of autism.

Research

Early motor function of children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review

Early motor impairments have been reported in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), but it is not clear if early detection of motor impairments can identify children at risk for NDD or how early such impairments might be detected. Our aim was to characterize early motor function in children later diagnosed with NDD relative to typically developing children or normative data.

A broad autism phenotype expressed in facial morphology

These data provide the first evidence for a broad autism phenotype expressed in a physical characteristic

Research

EEG power at 3 months in infants at high familial risk for autism

Reduced frontal power at 3 months may indicate increased risk for reduced expressive language skills at 12 months.

Research

Evidence of a reduction over time in the behavioral severity of autistic disorder diagnoses

We examined whether there were changes over time in the qualitative and quantitative phenotype of individuals who received the diagnosis of Autistic Disorder.

Genome-wide association study of autistic-like traits in a general population study of young adults

Research has proposed that autistic-like traits in the general population lie on a continuum, with clinical ASD representing the extreme end of this...
