Adaptive Behavior Profiles of Intellectually Gifted Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify whether the well-described pattern of declining adaptive functioning across age among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) also exists among intellectually gifted children with ASD because their cognitive abilities might serve as a protective factor. Methods: Data from the Simons Simplex Collection were used to identify 51 participants with full-scale intelligence (IQ) scores of 130 or above with this group labeled as the intellectually gifted range (IGR). Two comparison samples of children with IQs in the intellectual disability range (ID...

Autism and General Developmental Screening Practices Among Primary Care Providers
Conclusion: Overall, general developmental and autism-specific screenings are not being consistently administered across recommended WCVs in primary care practices. Provider self-efficacy in autism identification and screening and previous autism training were associated with increased autism screening. As such, these results suggest a need for increased training and dissemination of information on screening implementation for practicing PCPs.

The Impact of Perinatal Life Stress on Infant Temperament and Child Development: A 2-Year Follow-Up Cohort Study
Conclusion: Life events perceived as severely distressing in the peripartum period pose a burden on mothers and may have potentially detrimental long-term effects on neurobiological and social-emotional child development. Our findings highlight the need for person-centered perinatal care and support of mothers facing difficult life events. Clinical awareness of in utero development and its relationship to maternal psychological health is warranted to intervene effectively. Future research should consider the timing of in utero exposure and neurobiological and environmental mechanisms pertaining to the relationship betw...

Beyond Initial Screening: One-Year Follow-up of Adolescents with Internalizing Problems on the Pediatric Symptom Checklist
ABSTRACT: Objective: Screening for adolescent depression is a quality indicator for pediatric care, and the parent-completed, 17-item Pediatric Symptom Checklist's internalizing (PSC-17P-INT) subscale has been validated for this purpose. The current study assessed the feasibility of PSC-17P-INT screening, the prevalence of risk on 2 consecutive PSC-17P-INTs, and rates of behavioral health (BH) service use before and after screening. Methods: The parent-report PSC-17 was completed on tablet devices before well-child visits (WCVs) with results instantaneously available to clinicians in the electronic health re...
