“…We also investigated assortative mating among the parents using ASD trait information obtained from the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ) (specifically subscales: Aloof, Rigid, Pragmatic Language and Total BAPQ) [52] and Social Responsive Scale -Adult version (SRS-A) (specifically subscales: Awareness, Cognition, Mannerisms, Motivation, and Communication, and the combined Total SRS score) [53]. The BAPQ includes both self and informant report versions which can be combined to give a more accurate result (Best Score), whereas the SRS-A is generally an informant report for the spouse or partner.…”

“…An important characteristic of this study is that all US participants were screened and excluded for the broad autism phenotype using the Social Responsiveness Scale (,76), and US and TD participants were group matched based on their scale scores. 10 In addition, a semistructured clinical interview was conducted with US participants to further confirm the absence of autistic traits and to rule out any history of other neurological or psychiatric conditions. This strict exclusion criterion ensures that any identified differences in white matter structure between US and TD groups are not the result of usedependent processes and are not reflective of subtle differences in social ability.…”

This study was conducted to identify a potential neuroendophenotype for autism using diffusion tensor imaging. Whole-brain, voxel-based analysis of fractional anisotropy was conducted in 50 children: 19 with autism, 20 unaffected siblings, and 11 controls. Relative to controls, participants with autism exhibited bilateral reductions in fractional anisotropy across association, commissure, and projection fibers. The most severely affected tracts included the uncinate fasciculus, forceps minor, and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus. Unaffected siblings also exhibited reductions in fractional anisotropy, albeit less severe with fewer affected tracts, sparing the uncinate fasciculus and forceps minor. These results suggest the presence of a neuroendophenotype for autism.

“…SRS is a validated questionnaire that assesses behavioral and socialcommunicative traits (35) with a total score that has been justified in factor analyses (36). The SRS scores are reported to be continuously distributed in the general population, but it is advised to consider a diagnostic interview for ASD with a t-score > 70 (34).…”

Background: Comorbid anxiety disorders are prevalent in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but only a minority receives adequate treatment for anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective in treating anxiety disorders. The objectives of the present pilot study were to test the feasibility of the CBT program "Less stress" for comorbid anxiety disorders in children with ASD and explore whether an improvement in diagnostic outcomes for anxiety disorders and symptoms of anxiety was found after treatment. Method: Participants were ten children diagnosed with ASD and anxiety disorders (eight boys, mean age = 9.5 years, range 8 -12 years). The "Less Stress" program includes three months of weekly treatment sessions followed by three monthly booster sessions. Five therapists participated. A standardized semi-structured diagnostic interview with the mothers was used to assess comorbid disorders. Child anxiety symptoms were measured with the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS). Results: The therapists found the manual easy to use but adaptations were necessary, particularly shorter sessions due to frequent (n = 7) comorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The participants found the program useful and the parents noted that they had learned methods they could continue using after the end of the program.Eight of ten children completed the treatment. Seven of the eight completers benefited from the program. Five of those seven children were free from all anxiety disorders, while two had fewer anxiety disorders. On a group level, a significant mean reduction of anxiety symptoms (RCADS) was found after treatment. Conclusions: The therapists found the "Less stress" program to be a feasible intervention in a sample of children with ASD and comorbid anxiety. The significant reduction of anxiety after treatment is promising, but a replication in a larger and more rigorous study is needed to investigate the effectiveness of the intervention.
