this study is the first to show an association between immune activation history in the mother and increased ASD symptom severity in children with ASD
Rapid facial reactions to emotional stimuli are intact in late adulthood, even in response to stimuli that activate more automatic and implicit forms of emotion processing
Findings provide preliminary evidence that early psychosis is associated with reduced heart rate variability
Investigating whether the presence and severity of nausea and vomiting may be related to symptom severity in offspring with autism spectrum disorder
This large population-based study identified no consistent association across two cohorts between prenatal head growth and postnatal autistic traits
The current study highlights the specificity of brief imagery-based interventions in influencing psychophysiological reactivity in social anxiety disorder
Mental health conditions and problems are often reported in children and adolescents with CP. A systematic review was undertaken to describe their prevalence.
This study aimed to understand how parents describe the most challenging behaviors exhibited by their children diagnosed with autism and/or ADHD, how those behaviours impact their family, and whether challenges are directly related to the core characteristics of these conditions.
It is unclear whether sex differences in behavior arising from birth weight (BW) are genuine because of the cross-sectional nature and potential confounding in previous studies. We aimed to test whether sex differences associated with BW phenotype were reproducible using a Mendelian randomization approach, i.e., association between polygenic score (PGS) for BW and behavior outcomes across childhood and adolescence.
There is a common mischaracterisation that autistic individuals have reduced or absent empathy. Measurement issues may have influenced existing findings on the relationships between autism and empathy, and the structure of the empathy construct in autism remains unclear.
