Autistic Individuals Do Not Alter Visual Processing Strategy During Encoding Versus Recognition of Faces: A Hidden Markov Modeling Approach
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that autistic individuals do not modulate their visual processing strategy across encoding and recognition of faces, which may be an indicator of less efficient face processing.PMID:38430386 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06259-9 (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)

Paranoia and Data-Gathering Biases in Autism
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Feb 29. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06301-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious research has identified contradictory patterns in autism upon probabilistic reasoning tasks, and high levels of self-report paranoia symptoms have also been reported. To explore this relationship, the present study assessed 64 non-autistic and 39 autistic adults on two variants of a probabilistic reasoning task which examined the amount of evidence required before making a decision and 'jumping to conclusions' (a neutral beads task and an emotionally-salient words variant). The autism group was found to require signifi...

Medical Home Care and Educational Services for Children and Youth on the Autism Spectrum: A Scoping Review
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06235-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis scoping review examined current evidence on medical home care and its association with educational services for children and youth on the autism spectrum. We searched five databases and grey literature resulting in 328 publications. Publications meeting inclusion criteria were mapped to medical home care component(s) addressed, type(s) of educational services and their strength and type of association. The Andersen Behavioral Model of Health Services Use was used to summarize predisposing, enabling, and need factors consid...

A Systematic Literature Review of Racial Disproportionality in Autism in the U.S
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06247-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent years, the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network has observed a shift in racial disparities in autism. To delineate the historical shift of racial disproportionality in US autism prevalence, our literature review examines three key topics: publication trends concerning racial disproportionality in autism, discernible national and state-level patterns, and underlying factors contributing to the disproportionality. Using the PRISMA framework, we synthesized 24 empirical studies on racial disproportion...

Measuring Developmental Delays: Comparison of Parent Report and Direct Testing
CONCLUSION: The high convergent validity found in this study suggests that the DP-4 provides a suitable proxy for direct developmental testing using the MSEL in the context of telehealth evaluations for ASD in young children, delivering a good estimate of both developmental functioning and presence of delays.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Data were obtained from registered clinical trial NCT05047224, date of registration 2021-09-07.PMID:38407697 | DOI:10.1007/s10803-024-06292-8 (Source: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders)

Foundations of Vocal Category Development in Autistic Infants
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Feb 25. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06267-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study compared the infant's tendency in the first year of life to produce clusters of particular vocal types (squeals, vocants, and growls) in typically developing (TD) and autistic infants. Vocal clustering provides evidence of vocal category formation and may establish a foundation for speech development. Specifically, we compared the extent of vocal clustering across outcome groups and age groups. We also examined the associations between the extent of vocal clustering and later outcomes at 2 years within the aut...

"Giving Me the Self-Confidence to Tackle It": Mothers' Experiences Participating In The Engaged Eaters Program, A Caregiver-Mediated Feeding Intervention
J Autism Dev Disord. 2024 Feb 24. doi: 10.1007/s10803-024-06250-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to understand caregivers' experience of participating in a caregiver-mediated in-home feeding intervention, the Engaged Eaters Program, for their young autistic child. This qualitative study utilized a thematic approach to analyze post-intervention semi-structured interviews with thirteen mothers of autistic children between the ages of 2 to 7 years after they participated in the intervention. Interview questions focused on the child and family experience, what worked well, what could be improved, ...
