Feasibility of an Evidence-Based Parent-Mediated Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Community Healthcare Service in Italy
Background/Objectives : Parental involvement is currently recommended by Italian national guidelines on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) intervention. However, research on the impact of parent-mediated interventions on parental skills and children's outcomes in Italy is limited. This study evaluated the feasibility of delivering Parent-ESDM (Parent-mediated Early Start Denver Model), a well-supported Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventi…
Exploring autistic traits in parents of autistic children: A pilot study on the broader autism phenotype
This study highlights the significance of parental BAP traits in relation to autism characteristics in children. The findings suggest that paternal BAP traits, in particular, may have a stronger association with child characteristics. Understanding these associations may contribute to refining psycho-educational strategies tailored to the specific traits of parents, ultimately enhancing intervention approaches
Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Parents of Preschoolers First Diagnosed with Autism: Gender Differences and Correlations with Broad Autism Phenotypes
(1) Background: A child's new diagnosis of autism can represent a highly stressful event for parents. Subthreshold autistic traits (ATs) have been linked to higher vulnerability to psychopathology when exposed to stressful situations, and high rates of ATs have been reported among parents of autistic children. This study aimed to evaluate post-traumatic stress spectrum symptoms (PTSS) in parents of preschool children newly diagnosed with autism a…
Dysregulation Profile in Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Italian Multi-Center Perspective
Background/Objectives : Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social communication impairments and repetitive behaviors. Recent reports show that one in thirty-six 8-year-old children are autistic, signifying a considerable public health concern. According to previous studies, emotional dysregulation (ED) affects 50-60% of individuals with ASD and includes symptoms such as poor emotional contro…
Psychopathic traits and emotion processing in a clinical sample of children with disruptive behavior disorder
Impact of sleep disorders on behavioral issues in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder
Based on these findings, the study recommends that screening for sleep problems followed by early intervention should constitute a routine part of clinical practice for children with ASD
Focusing on Autism Spectrum Disorder in Xia–Gibbs Syndrome: Description of a Female with High Functioning Autism and Literature Review
In addition to the patient we described, a considerable rate of individuals with XGS display autistic symptoms or have been diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder. Moreover, the analysis of the few psychopathological profiles of patients with XGS described in the literature shows a frequent presence of aggressive and self-injurious behaviours that could be either an expression of autistic functioning or an additional symptom of the ASD evol…
Effects of Probiotic Supplementation on Gastrointestinal, Sensory and Core Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Randomized Controlled Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT02708901
Moving Toward Telehealth Surveillance Services for Toddlers at Risk for Autism During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Since 2016, the project "Early Bird Diagnostic Protocol for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)" funded by the Italian Ministry of Health has been operative at IRCCS Fondazione Stella Maris (FSM), Pisa (IT), with the main aim of developing early age-specific diagnostic protocols by longitudinally enrolling two different populations at risk for ASD: (i) toddlers with older siblings with ASD (FR) and (ii) toddlers referred by a child psychiatrist or pe…
Parental Perspectives on Psychiatric Comorbidity in Preschoolers With Autism Spectrum Disorders Receiving Publicly Funded Mental Health Services
An increased prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity (PC) in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is consistently reported. While several studies have examined PC in school-aged children, adolescents and adults with ASD, investigations on PC in preschoolers are less common. In this study, we explore the prevalence and the type of PC in a sample of 989 preschoolers with ASD through the DSM-Oriented Scales (DOS) of the Child Behavior Chec…
Evaluation of Altered Functional Connections in Male Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders on Multiple-Site Data Optimized With Machine Learning
No univocal and reliable brain-based biomarkers have been detected to date in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Neuroimaging studies have consistently revealed alterations in brain structure and function of individuals with ASD; however, it remains difficult to ascertain the extent and localization of affected brain networks. In this context, the application of Machine Learning (ML) classification methods to neuroimaging data has the potential to …
