Predictors of Change in Severity of Self‐Injurious Behaviors in Preschool‐Aged Autistic Children

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Self‐injurious behaviors (SIBs) affect up to 50% of autistic individuals and significantly impact quality of life and everyday functioning. Cross‐sectional studies link the presence of SIB to lower IQ, altered sensory responsivity, and poor emotion regulation, yet their effect on changes in SIB severity from early childhood to school age in ...

The Effect of a Parent Advocacy Intervention on Service Access for Autistic Youth: The Moderating Role of Baseline Advocacy Ability

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autistic youth face significant challenges accessing adult disability services as they transition out of school‐based services. Advocating for Supports to Improve Service Transitions (ASSIST), a group‐based program, was developed to address this issue by teaching parents about the service system and how to advocate for services for their youth.

Electroconvulsive Therapy for Catatonia in Autistic and Non‐Autistic Patients: An Observational Study on Course, Efficacy, Aggression, and Self‐Injury Outcomes

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catatonia occurs disproportionately in autistic individuals and may respond to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), yet prior reports suggest greater treatment burden in this population. We compared longitudinal ECT utilization, safety, and clinical outcomes between autistic and non‐autistic patients with catatonia.

Clinical and Genetic Factors Associated With Regression in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition with complex genetic and environmental underpinnings. A clinically significant subset of children with ASD experience developmental regression (regASD), characterized by the acute loss of previously acquired skills. The mechanisms, predictors, and molecular basis of

Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Social Behavior Alongside Neuroplastic Changes in a Tsc2+/− Rat Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by altered synaptic connectivity and network organization, resulting in profound impairments in social communication and interaction. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) represents a promising approach to modulate maladaptive plasticity associated with ASD;

Recent Non‐Suicidal Self‐Injury in Autistic Adolescents and Adults: Characteristics, Clinical Correlates and Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) is prevalent among autistic adolescents and adults, yet research on its clinical characteristics, functions, and association with suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in this population remains limited. This study compared these domains between autistic adolescents and adults with and without recent NSSI.

Self‐ and Caregiver‐Reported Choice‐Making in Autistic Adults: Development and Validation of the AASPIRE–Choices and Decisions Scale

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Self‐determination has been assessed as an internal psychological construct. External factors may also affect self‐determination, but opportunities to make choices and decisions remain understudied. We developed and evaluated the AASPIRE‐Choices and Decisions Scale (AASPIRE‐CDS), a new measure of autistic adults' opportunities to make choices ...

Deepening the participation of neurodivergent youth in qualitative mental health research: Co‐development of a general approach and the evaluation of its implementation in a study on emotion

JCPP Advances
Background There is a growing expectation that neurodivergent young people, such as those with diagnoses of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism, should play a central role in shaping research on neurodevelopmental conditions ...

Understanding the transdiagnostic mechanisms underlying emerging psychopathology in adolescence: study protocol of a 1-year prospective epidemiological (EMERGE) study

BMJ Open
Introduction Adolescent mental health is a global public health challenge as most cases remain undetected and untreated, and consequently, have a high likelihood of persistence or recurrence.

Characterizing Autism Phenotype Onset in the Electronic Health Records to Enable Age‐Specific Screening

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism exhibits substantial phenotypic heterogeneity, yet age‐dependent variation in phenotypic profiles and onset timing remains poorly understood. We aimed to characterize stage‐specific phenotypes and temporal onset patterns of autism using longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs).
