Autistic social behaviors and the half ‐empty, half‐full cup
Unusual social behaviors have been central to our notions of autism spectrum disorders since their original descriptions. We have come to recognize that such behaviors are broadly distributed beyond the classic phenotype and may be induced by postnatal experiences involving insufficient care. Sex differences have also been noted, and a paper in the current issue by Mandy and colleagues, demonstrates different longitudinal trajectories in boys and girls in autistic social traits from middle childhood to mid ‐adolescence. These and related findings are evidence of both progress in our understanding and how much we still ne...

Preterm birth: high vulnerability and no resiliency? Reflections on van Lieshout et  al. (2018)
Globally, 15 million babies are born preterm (<37  weeks gestation) each year, representing 11% of all live births. In the UK, around 7% of children are born preterm each year and around 15% of all preterm born are born more than 8 weeks early (VPT; very preterm) or below 1,500 g birth weight (VLBW). Prematurity is the major cause of infant mort ality despite largely increased survival in recent decades attributable to advances in antenatal and neonatal care. Very and extremely preterm born infants (EPT;<28  weeks gestation) often spend many weeks and months in neonatal care before discharge. (Source: Journal of ...

The development of autistic social traits across childhood and adolescence in males and females
ConclusionsThere are gender ‐specific trajectories of autistic social impairment, with females more likely than males to experience an escalation of ASTs during early‐ and midadolescence. It remains to be discovered whether the observed female adolescent increase in ASTs represents the genuine late onset of social difficul ties or earlier, subtle, pre‐existing difficulties becoming more obvious.

A randomized waitlist ‐controlled trial of cognitive behavior therapy to improve emotion regulation in children with autism
ConclusionsThis study is the first transdiagnostic CBT efficacy trial for children with ASD. Additional investigations are needed to further establish its relative efficacy compared to more traditional models of CBT for children with ASD and other neurodevelopmental conditions.

Why do children read more? The influence of reading ability on voluntary reading practices
ConclusionsHow much and how well children read are moderately correlated. Individual differences in print exposure are less heritable than individual differences in reading ability. Importantly, the present results suggest that it is the children's reading ability that determines how much they choose to read, rather than vice versa.

Trajectories of psychopathology in extremely low birth weight survivors from early adolescence to adulthood: a 20 ‐year longitudinal study
ConclusionsExtremely low birth weight survivors experienced a blunting of the expected improvement in depression and anxiety from adolescence to adulthood. These findings suggest that altered physiological regulatory systems supporting emotional and cognitive processing may contribute to the maintenance of internalizing problems in this population.

Effectiveness of a trauma ‐focused group intervention for young refugees: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsMein Weg is effective for young refugees according to self ‐reports and can be viewed as a valuable component in a stepped care approach for this vulnerable population. The findings need to be replicated with independent clinical assessments. (Source: Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry)

Error ‐related brain activity in pediatric anxiety disorders remains elevated following individual therapy: a randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsFindings of greater ERN in pediatric anxiety disorders are replicated in a larger sample. More importantly, findings from this randomized control trial show that a larger ERN and feeling worried about performance feedback remain unchanged following treatment and are unrelated to treatment response. Such findings suggest that action monitoring systems remain overactive in anxious youth treated with psychotherapy, suggesting the need for future investigation of whether novel complimentary cognitive and emotional training programs can modify these systems would be warranted.

A neural biomarker, the error ‐related negativity, predicts the first onset of generalized anxiety disorder in a large sample of adolescent females
