Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is diagnosed more frequently in boys than girls, even when girls are equally symptomatic. Cutting-edge behavioral imaging has detected "camouflaging" with ASD, wherein social behaviors appear superficially typical, complicating diagnosis.

Pauses during conversation can be filled words like UM or UH, but research suggests that these two pragmatically distinct (e.g., used to signal...

Abstract Self‐injurious behaviors (SIB) encompass a heterogeneous set of self‐inflicted aggressive that are highly prevalent in autistic youth. Existing research on SIB autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been limited by significant methodological and conceptual inconsistencies. Thus, the current study leveraged item‐level data capturing severity unique topographies to further understanding factors associated with distinct sample 582 youth ( M age = 12.12, SD 3.68; range: 3–19 years; 13%...

Learning through social observation (i.e., watching other people interact) lays the foundation for later skills and cognition. However, situations are often complex, humans only capable of attending to one aspect a scene at time. How do choose where allocate their visual resources when viewing complex scenarios? For typically developing (TD) individuals, faces given priority. Depending upon context, however, it may be more useful attend aspects environment, such as hands, tools, or...

Many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who receive early intervention reap developmental benefits, but little is known about characteristics of placements in the community that optimize individual growth. The extent to which hear and use language, particular, may contribute significantly outcomes. We analyzed natural language production exposure preschoolers on across three classroom compositions: only, mixed disability, inclusion. Autistic inclusion classrooms produced more...
