Brief Report: The Broad Autism Phenotype in Swedish Parents of Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Conditions. [PDF]
AbstractThe broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of characteristics often observed in typically developing people with a genetic load for autism, such as parents of autistic children. The Broad Autism Phenotypic Questionnaire (BAPQ) is a 36-item questionnaire developed to identify the BAP in first-degree relatives of autistic people. We translated the

Autism and the broad autism phenotype: familial patterns and intergenerational transmission. [PDF]
Features of the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) are disproportionately prevalent in parents of a child with autism, highlighting familial patterns indicative of heritability. It is unclear, however, whether the presence of BAP features in both parents confers an increased liability for autism.

Evidence for a Broad Autism Phenotype [PDF]
The broad autism phenotype implies the existence of a continuum ranging from individuals displaying almost no autistic traits to severely impaired diagnosed individuals. Recent studies have linked this variation in autistic traits to several domains of functioning.

Neuropsychological Profile of Autism and the Broad Autism Phenotype [PDF]
There now exist multiple reports of a constellation of language, personality, and social-behavioral features present among relatives that mirror the symptom domains of autism, but much milder in expression. Studies of this ‘broad autism phenotype’ (BAP) may provide a potentially important, complementary approach for detecting the genes causing autism ...

Subjective Cognitive Impairment and the Broad Autism Phenotype. [PDF]
Introduction: Roughly 4% to 23% of the population embody stress prone personality and other traits characterizing a subclinical “broad autism phenotype” (BAP). Subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) among healthy elderly is associated with psychological distress leading us to predict BAP would be associated with SCI.

Aging and autism spectrum disorder: Evidence from the broad autism phenotype [PDF]
This study investigated for the first time the broad autism phenotype (BAP) in the context of older adulthood and its associations with real‐world executive function, social support, and both depression and anxiety symptomatology. Based on self‐ratings of autistic traits, 66 older adults (60+ years old, range = 61–88) were split into BAP (n = 20) and ...

Parental Broad Autism Phenotype and the Language Skills of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. [PDF]
Father-child and mother-child interactions were examined in order to investigate concurrent associations between three characteristics of parental broad autism phenotype (i.e., aloofness, rigidity, pragmatic language deficits), parental verbal responsiveness, and language skills of children with ASD.

The Broad Autism (Endo)Phenotype: Neurostructural And Neurofunctional Correlates In Parents Of Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a set of neurodevelopmental disorders with an early-onset and a strong genetic component in their pathogenesis. According to genetic and epidemiological data, ASD relatives present personality traits similar to, but ...

Broad Autism Phenotype and Gait in Parents of Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder. [PDF]
Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder. Research has shown that parents and relatives of children with ASD often exhibit subthreshold ASD-like characteristics known as broad autism phenotype (BAP) as well as impairments in motor behaviours.
