The Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2006
The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of personality and language characteristics that reflect the phenotypic expression of the genetic liability to autism, in non-autistic relatives of autistic individuals. These characteristics are milder but qualitatively similar to the defining features of autism. A new instrument designed to measure the BAP in

This study aimed to determine if relatives of children with autism and less severe pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) have higher rates of various components of the broad autistic phenotype. Psychiatric and medical disorders were investigated. Parents of children with PDDs were selected from an epidemiological survey and compared with parents of ...

The broad autism phenotype: A complementary strategy for molecular genetic studies of autism

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2001
The genetic liability for autism appears to be expressed not only as the full syndrome of autism, but in milder, qualitatively similar characteristics that collectively have been referred to as constituting the broad autism phenotype. Identification of components of the broad autism phenotype that segregate independently in relatives of autistic ...

Investigation of Broad Autism Phenotype Traits as Measured by the 26-Item Autism Quotient

Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
The extant literature regarding psychometric properties of measures of subclinical adult autism traits is sparse. The current study investigated the validity and internal consistency reliability of the 26-item Autism Quotient (AQ-26), a self-report measure of autism traits, in a nonclinical young adult sample.

On the Misapplication of the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire in a Study of Autism

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Nishiyama et al. (2013) recently examined the reliability and construct validity of the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ) and three other instruments with the goal of measuring quantitative autistic traits in 64 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and two population samples. As the authors of the BAPQ (Hurley et al.

Automatic and controlled processing and the Broad Autism Phenotype

Psychiatry Research, 2016
Research related to verbal fluency in the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) is limited and dated, but generally suggests intact abilities in the context of weaknesses in other areas of executive function (Hughes et al., 1999; Wong et al., 2006; Delorme et al., 2007).

Using self-report to identify the broad phenotype in parents of children with autistic spectrum disorders: a study using the Autism-Spectrum Quotient

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 2004
BACKGROUND: The concept of the 'broad phenotype' of autism refers to the finding that relatives of people with autism often have mild forms of autistic-like characteristics, such as social and communicative difficulties.

Pragmatics of language in the broad autism phenotype

Speech, Language and Hearing, 2015
Researchers have reported a higher prevalence for parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to have subtle characteristics of ASD, known as the broad autism phenotype (BAP). Deficits in the pragmatics of language are a hallmark feature of ASD and thus become a natural candidate for assessment in the BAP.

Psychological adjustment and sibling relationships in siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Environmental stressors and the Broad Autism Phenotype

Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2012
