Language delay aggregates in toddler siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder
ConclusionsGreater frequency of language delay and a lower distribution of language scores in high-risk, unaffected toddler-aged siblings support decreased early language ability as an endophenotype for ASD, with a more pronounced effect for receptive versus expressive language. Further characterization of language development is warranted to refine genetic investigations of ASD and to elucidate factors influencing the progression of core autistic traits and related symptoms.

Characterization of autism spectrum disorder and neurodevelopmental profiles in youth with XYY syndrome
ConclusionsBy adding granularity to our understanding of neurodevelopmental difficulties in XYY, these findings assist targeted clinical assessment of newly identified cases, motivate greater provision of specialized multidisciplinary support, and inform future efforts to integrate behavioral phenotypes in XYY with neurobiology.Trial registrationsClinicalTrials.govNCT00001246, “89-M-0006: Brain Imaging of Childhood Onset Psychiatric Disorders, Endocrine Disorders and Healthy Controls.” (Source: Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders)

Emotional prosodic change detection in autism Spectrum disorder: an electrophysiological investigation in children and adults
ConclusionsOverall, change detection remains altered in people with autism. However, differences between children and adults with ASD evidence a trend toward normalization of vocal processing and of the automatic detection of emotion deviancy with age.

Neurophysiological correlates of holistic face processing in adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder
ConclusionOverall, our results suggest that  adolescents with ASD were able to utilize holistic processing to perceive a face within the Mooney stimuli. Delays in early processing, marked by the P1, and elongated elevation in gamma activity indicate that the neural systems supporting holistic processing are slightly altered suggesting a les s automatic and less efficient facial processing system.Trial registrationNon-applicable.
