TL;DR: Child and adolescent mental health problems are an important public health problem in Australia and the appropriate balance between funding provided for clinical interventions focusing on individual children and families and funding for interventions that focus on populations, requires careful study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restricted and repetitive behaviors in autism spectrum disorders: a review of research in the last decade.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that the authors will learn best from the last decade of research by taking a developmental perspective, by directing future research toward subtypes of RRBs, and by implementing early intervention targeted to improve RRBs before these behaviors become entrenched.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does shy-inhibited temperament in childhood lead to anxiety problems in adolescence?
TL;DR: Most shy children did not develop an anxiety disorder and most adolescents with anxiety disorders had not been especially shy, suggesting prediction from childhood shyness to adolescent anxiety disorder is modest but clinically meaningful in a community sample.
Journal ArticleDOI

Janine Manjiviona,Margot Prior +1 more
TL;DR: Compared the motor impairment levels of Asperger syndrome and high functioning autistic children using a standardized test, the Test of Motor Impairment-Henderson Revision, results offer no support for clumsiness as a diagnostically differentiating feature of these disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between executive function abilities, adaptive behaviour, and academic achievement in children with externalising behaviour problems.
TL;DR: Poorer adaptive communication skills were specifically associated with ADHD when compared with either O DD/CD or the control group, and the social competence of adolescents with ADHD was as low as the levels associated with ODD/CD.
