Motor stereotypies in toddlers with and without autism
Background Motor stereotypies (MS) represent one of the transdiagnostic symptom dimensions identified by the NIMH Research Domain Criteria work group as relevant to psychopathology. MS are common in neurodevelopmental conditions, but they remain poorly understood, particularly in early childhood. The present study examined MS in 648 toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (autism, n = 455) and other neurodevelopmental conditions (non‐autism, n = 1…
Attention to audiovisual speech does not facilitate language acquisition in infants with familial history of autism
BACKGROUND: Due to familial liability, siblings of children with ASD exhibit elevated risk for language delays. The processes contributing to language delays in this population remain unclear. METHODS: Considering well-established links between attention to dynamic audiovisual cues inherent in a speaker's face and speech processing, we investigated if attention to a speaker's face and mouth differs in 12-month-old infants at high familial risk fo…
Planes, trains, automobiles--and tea sets
Some normally developing young children show an intense, passionate interest in a particular category of objects or activities. The present article documents the existence of extremely intense interests that emerge very early in life and establishes some of the basic parameters of the phenomenon. Surveys and interviews with 177 parents revealed that nearly one third of young children have extremely intense interests. The nature of these intense i…
Psychiatric diagnoses in infancy
This study investigated the specificity of diagnostic classification in two standardized systems: DSM-IV and Diagnostic Classification: Zero to Three. A sample of 82 infants aged 1–24 months suffering from various psychogenic and functional pediatric symptoms was diagnosed applying both systems. For DC: 0–3 (the Diagnostic Classification on Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood), this study presents results with…
