Protocol for Development and Testing of the schiZotypy Autism Questionnaire (ZAQ): A Differential Diagnostic Screening Tool for Autism and Schizotypal Disorder

This study describes the development of the ZAQ, a new screening questionnaire designed to discriminate autism spectrum disorder from schizotypal disorder while providing combined screening for both conditions. The research employs a two-phase approach comparing 200 autistic patients, 100 schizotypy patients, and 200 controls against clinical diagnoses from specialized psychiatric teams to assess diagnostic accuracy and validity.

The Association Between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms in Medical Students

A cross-sectional study of 168 Iranian medical students examined the correlation between ASD and ADHD symptoms using validated self-report questionnaires, finding significant associations between the two conditions. The research revealed high prevalence of both ASD and ADHD symptoms among participants, with males showing significantly higher rates of ASD symptoms than females.

A bibliometric analysis of global research status and trends in neuromodulation techniques for autism spectrum disorder treatment

This study analyzed 392 publications on neuromodulation techniques for ASD from 1992-2022 using bibliometric analysis tools to map global research collaboration, leading institutions, and emerging research trends. Results identified the United States and Deakin University as leading contributors, with Brain Stimulation journal being the most prolific publication venue in this field.

Autism Spectrum Disorder in 2023: A Challenge Still Open

This review updates current knowledge on ASD across epidemiology, genetic and environmental factors, clinical presentation, and diagnostic approaches, acknowledging that most cases lack a single identified cause. It discusses multiple proposed pathogenic mechanisms (oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, microbiota changes, immune dysregulation) and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and psychoeducational intervention for better outcomes.

Traits of Narcissistic Vulnerability in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders Without Intellectual Disabilities

This study examined narcissistic personality dimensions in 87 autistic adults without intellectual disabilities using the Pathological Narcissism Inventory, finding significantly elevated vulnerable narcissism but not grandiose narcissism compared to neurotypical controls. Results suggest potential underestimation of ASD-NPD comorbidity rates and associations between vulnerable narcissism and social difficulties in autism.

Spongiotic Gingival Hyperplasia in a Child with Asperger Syndrome: A Case Report

This case report describes the first documented occurrence of spongiotic gingival hyperplasia, a rare gum lesion, in a 14-year-old boy with Asperger syndrome, confirmed through biopsy and immunostaining. The authors note that individuals with autism spectrum disorder may have difficulty maintaining oral hygiene, potentially increasing vulnerability to such lesions if microbiome factors are involved in their pathogenesis.

A Scoping Review of Tools to Assess Diet in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder

This scoping review identifies and describes 13 different assessment tools used to evaluate dietary intake and mealtime behavior in autistic children and adolescents, with mealtime behavior being the most frequently assessed variable across 15 included studies. The Brief Assessment Scale for Mealtime Behavior in Children (BAMBI) and 24-hour dietary recalls emerged as the most commonly used assessment instruments in clinical and research settings.

Psychiatric Screening Measures in Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia

This study evaluates how patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) perform on psychiatric screening questionnaires designed for primary disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and autism. Results show high false-positive rates on ADHD (54%) and autism (89%) screening measures in bvFTD patients, highlighting the risk of misdiagnosis when specialized neurobehavioral assessment is not performed.

Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review of Correlations and Clinical Outcomes

This systematic review examines the relationship between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and autism spectrum disorder in children, analyzing 7 studies from a comprehensive literature search. Findings indicate high incidence of SDB in autistic children, with adenotonsillectomy showing promise for improving behavioral outcomes, though obesity complicates treatment and further research is needed.

Autism's heterogeneity in historical perspective: from challenge to opportunity

This article examines autism spectrum disorder through a historical lens, analyzing how the field has understood and responded to the diverse presentations and characteristics of autistic individuals. The paper frames autism's heterogeneity as an evolving challenge that offers opportunities for better conceptualization and support of autistic people.

A Meta-Analysis of Functional Prosody in Autism Spectrum Disorder

This meta-analysis examines prosodic language abilities (intonation, stress, rhythm patterns) in autistic individuals without intellectual disability and those with Asperger Syndrome, who typically show intact phonological, grammatical, and vocabulary skills but impairments in pragmatic and prosodic aspects of language. The review synthesizes recent empirical research on this specific language domain to clarify prosodic difficulties in autism.

Using Economic Games to Assess Social Orienting and Prosocial Behavior in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Researchers used simple economic games to compare social decision-making between adolescents with ASD and neurotypical controls, finding reduced social orienting in ASD participants but unexpectedly higher prosocial behavior in certain conditions. The study demonstrates that behavioral economics experiments can effectively quantify autism-related social differences beyond traditional observation-based assessments.

Virtual and Augmented Reality for Improving Joint Attention Skills in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review

This systematic review examines VR/AR-based interventions targeting joint attention deficits in autistic individuals, analyzing seven peer-reviewed studies that mostly showed positive results. The authors note significant heterogeneity in measurement approaches across studies and call for standardized protocols and further clinical trials to establish clinical benefits.

Management Strategies for Dental Anxiety and Uncooperative Behavior in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review

This systematic review evaluated evidence-based approaches for managing dental anxiety in autistic children during dental treatment, examining six studies that assessed anxiety reduction and cooperation in sensory-adapted dental environments. Results suggest that reducing dental anxiety through environmental modifications is important for improving cooperation, though effectiveness varies and requires individualized pediatric dental care strategies.

Qualitative Analysis of Mental Health Conversational Agents' Messages About Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Call for Action

This study analyzed messages sent to a mental health chatbot (Wysa) by general users and those with autism to identify common themes and emotional content. Users with autism frequently discussed diagnostic concerns, negative social reactions, and support needs, with predominantly negative emotional language, suggesting conversational agents could serve as accessible mental health support tools for autistic individuals.

The Effects of Risperidone on Cognition in People With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review

This systematic review examines how risperidone, an antipsychotic medication, affects cognitive function in autistic individuals, building on evidence that it effectively treats both core and non-core ASD symptoms. The review evaluates safety, efficacy, and tolerability across multiple validated behavioral assessment scales, noting weight gain as a common but typically mild side effect.
