  • Continuity of trajectories of autism symptom severity from infancy to childhood

    Open AccessMartina Franchini, Isabel M Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Behavioral symptom trajectories are informative of the development of young children at increased likelihood for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS: Developmental trajectories of early signs were examined in a cohort of siblings of children diagnosed with ASD (n = 502) from 6 to 18 months using the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI), and from 18 months to 5-7 years using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS).…

  • Symptom trajectories in the first 18 months and autism risk in a prospective high‐risk cohort

    Open AccessLonnie Zwaigenbaum, Jessica Brian et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2021

    BACKGROUND: Although early autism spectrum disorder (ASD) detection strategies tend to focus on differences at a point in time, behavioral symptom trajectories may also be informative. METHODS: Developmental trajectories of early signs of ASD were examined in younger siblings of children diagnosed with ASD (n = 499) and infants with no family history of ASD (n = 177). Participants were assessed using the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI…

  • Assessment of Autism Symptoms From 6 to 18 Months of Age Using the Autism Observation Scale for Infants in a Prospective High-Risk Cohort

    Open AccessLonnie Zwaigenbaum, Susan E Bryson et al.ARTICLEChild Development2021

    The objectives were to characterize behavioral signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in younger siblings of diagnosed children (high-risk; HR) and examine classification features of the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI). Participants (501 HR and 180 low-risk [LR]) were assessed between 6 and 18 months using the AOSI and at age 3 for ASD diagnoses. Total AOSI scores differentiated HR infants later diagnosed with ASD starting at 12 mont…

  • Tensions in Maternal Care for Children, Youth, and Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Open AccessDavid Nicholas, Radha Macculloch et al.ARTICLEGlobal Qualitative Nursing Research2020

    This study explored the experiences of mothers caring for an individual with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ranging from 5 to 25 years of age, and examined pervasive tensions in caregiving. Guided by ethnographic methods, a retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. Interviews with 85 mothers were analyzed inductively. Prevalent tensions in maternal caregiving were identified: (a) difficulties obtaining, yet resistance to, an ASD diagnosi…

    Open AccessDavid B Nicholas, David Nicholas et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2016Cited by: 4References: 32

    Mothers of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) variably experience challenges in their caregiving role. This ethnographic study examined the caregiving experiences of mothers of a young person with ASD (aged ≤25 years). Semistructured interviews were conducted with 85 mothers across three Canadian regions. A follow-up subsample of 10 mothers took part in participant observation sessions in the home and/or other environments within the…
