Cortical markers of excitation/inhibition balance are associated with sensory responsivity from infancy in longitudinal cohorts enriched for autism and ADHD Open
Autism and ADHD are characterised by atypical sensory responsivity, and this may be driven by alterations in the balance of cortical excitation to inhibition (E/I). Studies early in development are required to establish when sensory respon…

Mid‐childhood developmental and behavioural outcomes in infants with a family history of autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Open
Background Prospective studies of autism family history infants primarily report recurrence and predictors of autism at 3 years. Less is known about ADHD family history infants and later childhood outcomes. We characterise profiles of mid‐…

Parent–child similarity on autism and <span>ADHD</span> traits and children's social functioning and psychological well‐being at 3 years Open
Background There is a pressing need for research on neurodevelopmental conditions to focus on predictors of resilient or positive outcomes, rather than core symptoms and impairment. One promising avenue is to consider whether child–parent …

Head before heart: cognitive empathy emerges before affective empathy in the developing brain Open
Empathy is crucial for social interactions across all cultures, and is foundational to establishing social cooperation and group ties in human societies. Challenging the current predominant view, we recently proposed that understanding oth…

Family history of ADHD associates with stronger problem‐solving skills amongst 2‐ to 3‐year‐olds Open
Background Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is linked to strengths in creative problem‐solving amongst school‐aged children and adults. In contrast, autism (which frequently co‐occurs with ADHD) is associated with lower gene…

Cortical Excitability during Fixations Drives Frequency-Specific Neural Activity in Children and Adults Open
Extensive previous research has examined how neuronal oscillations support basic cognitive processes, from early development into adulthood. However, the question of how these oscillations originate and are maintained remains relatively un…
View article: Distinct temporal stages of infant brain processing associate with early versus later autism diagnosis
Distinct temporal stages of infant brain processing associate with early versus later autism diagnosis Open
Background The expression of autism traits sufficient to meet criteria for a diagnosis can occur early (by 3 years) or later (from mid-childhood onwards). It remains unknown whether variation in age of onset is due to clinical recognition …
View article: Simple Executive Function as an endophenotype of autism-ADHD, and differing associations between simple versus complex Executive Functions and autism/ADHD traits
Simple Executive Function as an endophenotype of autism-ADHD, and differing associations between simple versus complex Executive Functions and autism/ADHD traits Open
Executive Functions (EFs) enable us to control attention and behaviour in pursuit of a goal. In this longitudinal study, 107 children with a family history of autism and/or ADHD (FH-autism/ADHD), and 24 children with no FH-autism/ADHD comp…
View article: Mid‐childhood autism sibling recurrence in infants with a family history of autism
Mid‐childhood autism sibling recurrence in infants with a family history of autism Open
Autism sibling recurrence in prospective infant family history studies is ~20% at 3 years but systematic follow‐up to mid‐childhood is rare. In population and clinical cohorts autism is not recognized in some children until school‐age or l…
View article: Rates of family history of autism and <scp>ADHD</scp> varies with recruitment approach and socio‐economic status
Rates of family history of autism and <span>ADHD</span> varies with recruitment approach and socio‐economic status Open
Family history (FH) of autism and ADHD is not often considered during the recruitment process of developmental studies, despite high recurrence rates. We looked at the rate of autism or ADHD amongst family members of young children (9 to 4…
View article: Three year outcomes in infants with a family history of autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Three year outcomes in infants with a family history of autism and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Open
Background Most research on early outcomes in infants with a family history (FH) of autism has focussed on categorically defined autism, although some have language and developmental delays. Less is known about outcomes in infants with a F…
View article: Identifying phenotypic and physiological subgroups of preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder
Identifying phenotypic and physiological subgroups of preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder Open
Background To understand the emergence of symptoms in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we need to identify the mechanisms that underpin the development of core social skills. Mounting evidence indicates that young children with later ASD at…
View article: Behavioural Measures of Infant Activity but Not Attention Associate with Later Preschool ADHD Traits
Behavioural Measures of Infant Activity but Not Attention Associate with Later Preschool ADHD Traits Open
Mapping infant neurocognitive differences that precede later ADHD-related behaviours is critical for designing early interventions. In this study, we investigated (1) group differences in a battery of measures assessing aspects of attentio…
View article: Heart rate mean and variability as a biomarker for phenotypic variation in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder
Heart rate mean and variability as a biomarker for phenotypic variation in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder Open
Interest in autonomic arousal in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increasing; however, reliability of these measures in ASD is unknown, and previously reported associations with social and cognitive abilities are inconsistent. This study …
