Developmental vitamin D deficiency produces behavioral phenotypes of relevance to Autism in an animal model

Here we investigate these features in an animal model related to autism spectrum disorder - the DVD-deficient rat

The Brain Basis of Comorbidity in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

This review discusses early brain development and the etiological factors that may give rise to atypical developmental trajectories, along with neuroimaging insights

Reduced heart rate variability in adults with autism spectrum disorder

Our data suggest an overall dysregulation in resting autonomic activity in adults with autism spectrum disorder

Relationship between early motor milestones and severity of restricted and repetitive behaviors in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder

This study provides the first evidence for the association between restricted and repetitive behaviors and age of attainment of early motor milestones.

Acoustic Properties of Cries in 12-Month Old Infants at High-Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder

There is preliminary evidence that infant siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder have an atypical pattern of crying

Prenatal maternal stress events and phenotypic outcomes in Autism Spectrum Disorder

ASD, in the context of prenatal maternal stress exposure, may be associated with a more severe phenotype, particularly when there are multiple prenatal exposures

Measuring the capacity of active video games for social interaction: The Social Interaction Potential Assessment tool

The Social Interaction Potential Assessment tool can assess Active Video Games potential to facilitate social interaction among players

Investigating Parental Observations of Early Autism Development in Simplex and Multiplex Families

Past research has highlighted the importance of early identification of developmental differences to improve targeted access to early interventions or supports. As such, it is of particular importance in the context of children at elevated likelihood of autism (such as where an older sibling has a diagnosis of autism), to better understand when and which early concerns are important as predictors of which children will benefit from pre-diagnostic supports.
