Attitudes of the autism community to early autism research [PDF]
Autism, 2016 Investigation into the earliest signs of autism in infants has become a significant sub-field of autism research. This work invokes specific ethical concerns such as use of ‘at-risk’ language, communicating study findings to parents and the future perspective of enrolled infants when they reach adulthood. This study aimed to ground this research field

Cognitive flexibility in autism: Evidence from young autistic children
Autism Research, Volume 15, Issue 12, Page 2296-2309, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We examined the cognitive flexibility performance of young autistic children and a group of neurotypical peers. Thirty‐six autistic children (72–83 months) and 200 age‐matched typically‐developing children were assessed on the Children's Color Trails Test (CCTT), a semantic and a phonemic verbal fluency task.

Reduced social attention in autism is magnified by perceptual load in naturalistic environments

Heat kernels with functional connectomes reveal atypical energy transport in peripheral subnetworks in autism [PDF]
, 2019 Autism is increasing in prevalence and is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by impairments in communication skills and social behaviour. Connectomes enable a systems-level representation of the brain with recent interests in understanding the distributed nature of higher order cognitive function using modules or subnetworks.
