RETRACTED: How does ASD symptomology correlate with ADHD presentations?

Family involvement and parent–teacher relationships for students with autism spectrum disorders.

“…Indeed, child characteristics (e.g., child behavior) can influence parenting (Marshall, Tilton-Weaver, & Bosdet, 2005; Wang, Dishion, Stormshak, & Willeett, 2011). Children with ASD frequently encounter difficulty with developing language and communication skills (National Research Council, 2001) and hyperactivity (Konst et al, 2014). The scope of the child's adaptive behavior support needs may influence the degree to which families are involved in educational programming.…”

“…The course, symptom severity, and behaviors can vary widely among individuals with ASD (Chang, Lung, Yen, & Yang, 2013). Services children with ASD may benefit from include supports for adaptive behavioral needs (Konst, Matson, Goldin, & Rieske, 2014), including social and communication skills (National Research Council, 2001) as well as for hyperactivity and inattention (Kingston, Hibberd, & Ozsivadjian, 2013; Konst et al, 2014; Ozonoff & Rogers, 2003). …”

Autism Spectrum Disorders: Translating human deficits into mouse behavior

“…Anxiety disorders or anxiety-related symptoms are the most common comorbid conditions in children and adolescents with ASDs, although this has only recently received more attention (Konst et al, 2014;Ung et al, 2014). A meta-analysis study estimated that nearly 40% of children and adolescents with ASDs have at least one anxiety disorder.…”

Annual Research Review: The (epi)genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders in the era of whole‐genome sequencing – unveiling the dark matter

“…Accumulating evidence from structural and functional neuroimaging studies in NDDs suggests (endo‐)phenotype‐specific alterations in brain connectivity and synaptic function (Konrad & Eickhoff, ; Zoghbi & Bear, ). Studies in ADHD, ASD and ID patients report a high incidence of abnormalities in functional networks and systems connectivity, for example in the ‘ default mode network ’ (DMN) of the brain, which is important for higher order cognitive functions and is comprised of many different brain structures of small‐world topology (Dennis & Thompson, ; Konrad & Eickhoff, ). Neuropsychological deficits triggered by disruption of circuit connectivity appears to be associated with alterations in neurogenesis, neuronal migration, neurite outgrowth and branching, as well as axonal guidance and target finding.…”
