Challenging Case Report
Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in verbally fluent, socially motivated children, particularly girls, remains challenging due to compensatory behaviors and masking. This case report follows a 7-year-old girl repeatedly referred to autism spectrum evaluation. Despite early developmental delays, attentional variability, and sensory sensitivities, initial community-based multidisciplinary assessment excluded ASD but did not resolve parental…
The Clinical Phenotype of Early Selective Mutism and Later Autism Spectrum Disorder in Girls
Background: The presentation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in girls often differs from that of boys, leading to delayed diagnosis. Selective mutism presenting at a young age can obscure autism symptoms, particularly in girls who exhibit "masking" behaviors. In this study, we examined the early manifestation of selective mutism in four girls who were later diagnosed with ASD. Method: The study describes four case studies of girls who underwent…
Parental Reflective Functioning as a Moderator of the Link Between Prematurity and Parental Stress
We examined group differences between parents, both mothers and fathers, of premature and full-term infants to determine whether they differed in their reports of subjective parenting stress and in their level of parental reflective functioning (PRF). We also tested whether each parent's reflective functioning moderated the links between birth status (prematurity vs. full-term) and parenting stress. A sample of 73 cohabiting, heterosexual Israeli…
Prenatal diagnosis and management of intrauterine growth restriction
This study examines long‐term effects of antenatal management of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) on developmental outcome and on maternal coping using a prospective cross‐sectional design. Sixty‐nine families were evaluated using psychological testing and risk questionnaires. The effects of timing of diagnosis (prenatal/perinatal) and of pregnancy management [induction of labor (IL)/conservative management (CM)/none, i.e., diagnosed‐at‐bir…
