Journal ArticleDOI
Sibling Recurrence and the Genetic Epidemiology of Autism
TL;DR: The data suggest that, depending on how it is defined, sibling recurrence in autism spectrum disorder may exceed previously published estimates and varies as a function of family type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autistic Social Impairment in the Siblings of Children With Pervasive Developmental Disorders
John N. Constantino,Clara Lajonchere,Marin Lutz,Teddi Gray,Anna M. Abbacchi,Kathleen McKenna,Deepti Singh,Richard D. Todd +7 more
TL;DR: Results support the notion that genetic susceptibility factors responsible for common, subsyndromal social impairments may be related to the causes of categorically defined pervasive developmental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensory Responsiveness as a Predictor of Social Severity in Children with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders
Claudia Hilton,Claudia Hilton,Jacquelyn D. Harper,Rachel Holmes Kueker,Andrea Runzi Lang,Anna M. Abbacchi,Alexandre A. Todorov,Patricia D. LaVesser,Patricia D. LaVesser +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the relationship between sensory responsiveness and other autistic traits is more important than previously recognized and addressing sensory modulation issues in children with HFASD may be more critical than previously understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-informant ratings of psychiatric symptom severity in children with autism spectrum disorders: the importance of environmental context.
TL;DR: Results support the role of environmental context in psychiatric symptom expression in children affected by autism and suggest that informant discrepancies may more provide critical cues for these children via specific environmental modifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Familial Aggregation of Quantitative Autistic Traits in Multiplex versus Simplex Autism
TL;DR: Findings on patterns of familial aggregation of quantitative autistic traits (QAT) are consistent with the results of molecular genetic studies that have suggested differential modes of intergenerational transmission for SA and MA.
