  • Characterizing Project Echo Autism Case Recommendations and Implementation

    Open AccessCatherine Bosyj, Lisa Kanigsberg et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    Background: The Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) model creates virtual communities to help mitigate the barriers to treating complex conditions, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD; autism). ECHO Ontario Autism was developed to build province-wide capacity to diagnose autism by building community providers' skills; and 2) to improve provider understanding and confidence around autism and available therapies and supports. ECHO On…

  • Influence of a Short-Term Attention Intervention on the Attentional Skills of Toddlers With Suspected or Confirmed Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Open AccessLori-Ann R Sacrey, Lonnie Zwaigenbaum et al.ARTICLEChild Development2025Referencias: 50

    Examination of the effectiveness of an attention intervention using a randomized controlled trial for toddlers with suspected or confirmed autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Data was collected from Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, Canada between February 2018 and February 2020 (halted due to COVID-19 pandemic). Participants were 35 toddlers randomized to the attention condition (age at start: 25.49 + 3.91 months; 29 boys; mother’s ethnicity: 65% w…

  • Gender diversity is correlated with dimensional neurodivergent traits but not categorical neurodevelopmental diagnoses in children

    Open AccessKelly Mo, Evdokia Anagnostou et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2024

    BACKGROUND: Gender clinic and single-item questionnaire-based data report increased co-occurrence of gender diversity and neurodevelopmental conditions. The nuances of these associations are under-studied. We used a transdiagnostic approach, combining categorical and dimensional characterization of neurodiversity, to further the understanding of its associations with gender diversity in identity and expression in children. METHODS: Data from 291 …

  • 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…

  • Characterizing Changes in Screen Time During the Covid-19 Pandemic School Closures in Canada and Its Perceived Impact on Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Open AccessRobyn E Cardy, Annie Dupuis et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in screen time for children and families. Traditionally, screen time has been associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes, and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at increased risk of these outcomes. The primary objectives of this study were to (1) characterize the change in screen time during COVID-19 school closures for children with ASD, and (2) examine the parent perce…

  • Sex Differences in Social Adaptive Function in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

    Open AccessTania Mahendiran, Annie Dupuis et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019

    Background: Social-communication difficulties, a hallmark of ASD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often observed in attention - deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although are not part of its diagnostic criteria. Despite sex differences in the prevalence of ASD and ADHD, research examining how sex differences manifest in social and communication functions in these disorders remains limited, and findings are mixed. This study investigated …
