Associations Between Autism-Related Characteristics and Tonic Versus Phasic Irritability Across Parent and Teacher Report
Le 23/09/2026
CONCLUSIONS: Tonic and phasic irritability showed overlapping but partially differentiated associations with autistic characteristics. RRBs were linked to both dimensions, whereas social interaction differences were more closely related to tonic irritability.

Prenatal exposure to paracetamol and the risk of autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: An umbrella review and meta-meta-analysis
Le 23/09/2026
AIM: To evaluate whether prenatal exposure to paracetamol (acetaminophen) is associated with an increased risk of autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in offspring, using a meta-meta-analytical (umbrella review) approach.

Rapid Review of the Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC) Shows It Can Detect Behavioural Changes in Social Communication in Autism
Le 23/09/2026
Reliable measurement of social communication change remains a major challenge in autism research. The Brief Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC) was developed to detect subtle changes in communication. This rapid review synthesised current evidence on the BOSCC's responsiveness, validity, and suitability as a clinical trial endpoint. Systematic searches of PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Web of Science identified 19 eligible studies (n = 789). Within-group meta-analyses estimated...

Experienced Autism: Contributions of Childhood Adversity and Internal Distress in Adult Autism Assessments
Le 22/09/2026
Adult autism assessments prioritise clinician observations and developmental history, whereas many adults understand autism through lived experience. Within this tension, factors influencing high endorsement of autistic traits remain unclear. We analysed 245 consecutive NHS first adult autism assessments (median age = 33 years, 52% female), including Social Responsiveness Scale-2 (SRS‑2), Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD‑7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ‑9) and Adverse Childhood...

fNIRS in Autism Neuroscience: From Replication to Discovery
Le 22/09/2026
Studying the neural basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has long been hampered by a mismatch: core social features unfold during interaction, whereas standard neuroimaging commonly relies on isolated, scanner-based environments. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) partly addresses this mismatch. It is portable, more tolerant of moderate movement than fMRI, and compatible with live social interaction, although it remains sensitive to optode motion and systemic physiology and is...

Associations of maternal depressive symptom trajectories with frontal electroencephalographic alpha asymmetry and internalizing behaviors in infants with and without older autistic siblings
Le 22/09/2026
This study examined maternal depressive symptom trajectories and their associations with neural and behavioral outcomes in infants with and without an older autistic sibling (n = 142). Mothers reported depressive symptoms when children were 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. At 24 months, children's frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) alpha asymmetry and internalizing and externalizing behaviors were assessed. Latent class growth modeling identified three distinct maternal depressive symptom...

Maternal arsenic exposure induces autism-like behaviors via astrocyte-mediated neuronal apoptosis: Protective effects of Taurine
Le 22/09/2026
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with reduced serum taurine (TA) levels in children with ASD. However, the protective effects of TA against As-associated neurodevelopmental injury remain unclear. Here, we investigated whether TA ameliorates maternal As exposure-associated ASD-like behaviors and explored the underlying mechanisms. Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats received As₂O₃ and TA through drinking water during gestation. Offspring behaviors and prefrontal cortical changes were...

Peripheral biomarkers of anxiety in autism and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Le 22/09/2026
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), have high rates of comorbid anxiety disorders. Emerging evidence suggests neuroimmune signalling may partially contribute to behavioural symptoms in NDDs. This study examined the association between neuroinflammation and anxiety symptoms in children and adolescents with NDDs. The sample comprised 134 participants (33 typically developing (TD), 31 ADHD, 70 ASD...

Compassion-Focused Therapy for Mothers of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Impact on Parental Burnout, Self-Criticism, and Psychological Distress
Le 22/09/2026
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that CFT is an effective intervention for alleviating these psychological burdens. Integrating CFT into family support programs is strongly recommended to enhance the long-term psychological well-being of mothers raising children with ASD.

Cognitive Aging Patterns in Autism: Parallel, Accelerated, or Safeguarded?
Le 22/09/2026
CONCLUSION: Overall, the findings provide evidence for a parallel and safeguarded aging pattern in autism, arguing against accelerated cognitive decline.

Longitudinal Measurement Invariance of the Autism Impact Measure (AIM) in Children and Adolescents With Autism
Le 22/09/2026
CONCLUSION: These findings provide validity evidence for the interpretation that observed changes in AIM scores across time reflect genuine differences in autism symptom presentation rather than shifts in item functioning, thereby further supporting the AIM's use as a longitudinal symptom tracking tool in autism treatment.
