The importance of intrafamilial cognitive phenotyping by the case of 22q11.2 deletion, 15q11.2 deletion, and families with inherited copy number variants of unknown significance Open
The results suggest that our approach for determining intrafamilial IQ correlation effectively captured the impact of de novo 22q11.2 microdeletion and additive parental background effect on cognitive impairment, consistent with the modest…

The emergence of object play in young children at elevated likelihood for autism Open
This prospective study investigated object exploration and combination play, in addition to (pre‐)symbolic play in children at elevated likelihood for autism (EL; younger siblings of autistic children and very preterm children). Play of EL…

0303 Evaluating Sleep Quality and Circadian Rhythms in Young Autistic Children Using Actigraphy: A Feasibility Study Open
Introduction Sleep problems affect up to 81% of autistic children. Studies suggest a link between sleep quality, sleep-wake rhythms, and language development in early childhood, highlighting the need for objective sleep measures. However, …

Contextual differences in parent-child interactions: A study on toddlers at elevated likelihood of autism and their mothers Open
Parent-child interactions are important for children's emotional and behavioral development. In autism research, parent-child interactions are typically observed during free play. Yet, studies outside the autism field underscored the impor…

Be(com)ing Family: A Systematic Review of Stakeholders' Perspectives on Family in Family Foster Care Open
When a child enters a foster family, it weaves an intricate web that profoundly changes the relationships and bonds of all involved, making it difficult to define ‘family’ using predefined criteria. Despite the far‐reaching impact on all i…

Exploring cascading effects of sensory processing on language skills and social‐communicative difficulties through play in young children at elevated likelihood for autism Open
This study investigated the association between Sensory processing (SP) (i.e., hyporesponsiveness, Sensory Seeking (SS) and hyperresponsiveness) at 10 months (M) and language/social‐communicative difficulties at 24M, mediated through objec…

Bridging the Gaze: Multimodal Patterns linked to Joint Attention during Mother-Infant Interactions with Infants at Elevated Likelihood for Autism Open
Background: Joint attention is achieved through a combination of verbal and non-verbal cues interacting in systematic ways. Nonetheless, existing studies examining multimodal pathways to joint attention focus on the co-occurrence of a limi…

ABAS-3 for Belgium: standardisation, psychometric properties and guidelines for fair assessment Open
Objectives In order to develop ABAS-3 for use in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium (Flanders), the most appropriate standardising method was investigated and psychometric properties were evaluated, based on international guidelines of the…

The Earlier, the Better? An In-Depth Interview Study on the Ethics of Early Detection with Parents of Children at an Elevated Likelihood for Autism Open
Autism is increasingly viewed as an expression of neurodiversity deserving accommodation, rather than merely as a disorder in need of remediation or even prevention. This reconceptualization has inspired calls to broaden the ethical debate…

Measuring the prevalence of autistic traits in a cohort of adults living with HIV or taking HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis and mapping safer-sex barriers and facilitators: a study protocol Open
Introduction Autistic individuals identify with a wider range of sexual orientations than non-autistic individuals, including higher rates of bisexual orientation in autistic men. Gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men are at gr…

Short report: Recommendations for education, clinical practice, research, and policy on promoting well-being in autistic youth and adults through a positive focus on sexuality and gender diversity Open
This short report presents recommendations to promote health and well-being relating to sexuality and gender diversity in autistic individuals. The recommendations were developed based on the latest available scientific knowledge coupled w…

Mental health of autistic adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: The impact of perceived stress, intolerance of uncertainty, and coping style Open
Autistic individuals are at particular risk of experiencing mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet little is known about personal characteristics that may underlie this vulnerability. This longitudinal questionnaire study…

Well-being does not predict change in parenting behaviours among mothers of young children at elevated likelihood of autism Open
Well-being and parenting behaviours were studied longitudinally among mothers of younger siblings of children on the autism spectrum (‘siblings’; n = 81) and prematurely born children (‘pre-terms’; n = 40). Growth curves were modelled to i…

Conceptualization of quality of life in autistic individuals Open
The present study examines to what extent two core characteristics of the quality of life (QoL) construct were incorporated in the field of autism: (1) its subjective nature; and (2) its multidimensionality. Therefore, we reviewed 174 arti…

Structural and contextual priors affect visual search in children with and without autism Open
Bayesian predictive coding theories of autism spectrum disorder propose that impaired acquisition or a broader shape of prior probability distributions lies at the core of the condition. However, we still know very little about how probabi…
