Autistic traits associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms and suicidality in autism spectrum conditions and anorexia nervosa

This study examined 184 participants across autism, anorexia nervosa, and control groups using standardized assessment tools, finding that autistic traits are significantly associated with trauma/stress symptoms and elevated suicide risk. The results suggest anorexia nervosa may represent an atypical autism presentation in women, with trauma-related symptoms mediating the relationship between autistic traits and suicidality.

The Effects of Hearing One's Own Name on Subsequent Attention to Visual Stimuli in Autistic and Neurotypical Children: An ERP Study

This EEG study compared brain responses in autistic and neurotypical children (aged 3-7) when hearing their own name versus unfamiliar names, measuring event-related potentials (ERPs) during auditory and visual tasks. While autistic children did not show the typical enhanced P300 response to their own name, they demonstrated increased attention to visual objects following name presentation, suggesting covert name recognition despite absence of overt behavioral responses like head-turning.

Systematic Review Protocol on Psychometric Properties and Gender Measurement Invariance of Self-Report Autism Assessment Tools in Adults

This systematic review protocol aims to evaluate self-report autism assessment tools published since 2014 that have undergone gender-related measurement invariance testing, addressing concerns that current tools may not adequately capture autism traits as they present differently in women. The review will use established quality assessment methods (COSMIN) to critically appraise psychometric properties and identify potential gender bias in autism measurement constructs.

Problematic Social Media Use in Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Role of Social Anxiety

This study compared problematic social media use (PSMU) between 76 autistic and 107 non-autistic adolescents (ages 8-17), finding similar overall PSMU levels but different patterns of relationships with age and social anxiety dimensions. Social anxiety—particularly humiliation/refusal and performance anxiety—showed distinct associations with PSMU in autistic youth compared to non-autistic peers, suggesting individual characteristics and anxiety beliefs are important factors in understanding digital media engagement in autism.
