  • Remotely supervised at-home delivery of taVNS for autism spectrum disorder

    Open AccessBenjamin Black, Samantha Hunter et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Remotely supervised, proxy-administered, at-home delivery of taVNS is feasible in patients with ASD. Initial efficacy supports pursuing larger scale trials

  • MicroRNAs and Gene–Environment Interactions in Autism

    Open AccessDavid Q Beversdorf, Ayten Shah et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Background: Genetics and environment both are critical in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but their interaction (G × E) is less understood. Numerous studies have shown higher incidence of stress exposures during pregnancies with children later diagnosed with ASD. However, many stress-exposed mothers have unaffected children. The serotonin transporter ( SERT ) gene affects stress reactivity. Two independent samples have shown that the association …

  • The Relationship Among Gastrointestinal Symptoms, Problem Behaviors, and Internalizing Symptoms in Children and Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Open AccessBradley J Ferguson, Kristen Dovgan et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019

    Background: Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have co-occurring gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, but the etiology is poorly understood. These GI symptoms often coincide with problem behaviors and internalizing symptoms, which reduces the quality of life for these individuals. Methods: This study examined the relationships among GI problems, problem behaviors, and internalizing symptoms in a sample of 340 children and adolescents…

  • Lack of Associations Between Dietary Intake and Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Open AccessBradley J Ferguson, Kristen Dovgan et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019

    Background: Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have significant gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, but their etiology is currently unknown. Dietary interventions are common in children and adolescents with ASD, including diets with increased omega-3 fatty acids or diets free of gluten and/or casein, which may also impact GI symptoms and nutrition. However, little is known about the relationship between nutritional intake and GI sym…

  • Examining the Association Between Electrodermal Activity and Problem Behavior in Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Open AccessBradley J Ferguson, Theresa Hamlin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019

    Background: Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) engage in problem behavior, presenting significant challenges for those providing care and services for this population. Psychophysiological measures of arousal, such as electrodermal activity (EDA), may provide an early indication of subsequent problem behavior. However, variability in EDA patterns associated with behaviors may limit this predictive ability. Methods: EDA data was s…
