have shown a small but significant impairment of autonoetic awareness or remembering involved in the episodic memory experiences of adults with Asperger's syndrome. This was compensated by an increase in experiences of noetic awareness or knowing. The question remains as to whether the residual autonoetic awareness in Asperger individuals is qualitatively the same as that of typical comparison participants. Three experiments are presented in which manipulations that have shown differential effects on different kinds of conscious awareness in memory in typical populations are employed with a sample of adults with Asperger's syndrome. The results suggest that the experiences of remembering reported by such individuals, although reduced in quantity, are qualitatively similar to those seen in the typical population. The results are discussed in the context of current theories of awareness in episodic memory.

Autistic Sensory Traits and Psychological Distress: Mediating Role of Worry and Intolerance of Uncertainty.

Background/objectives: Autistic adults exhibit core and comorbid features that can have an impact on their daily functioning and lead to considerable psychological distress. Significant and consistent associations have been identified between autism characteristics-restricted repetitive behaviors and sensory features-and high levels of stress and anxiety. For a better understanding of the issue, it is necessary to consider the cognitive aspects that can help explain variations in stress and anxiety levels among adults with autism.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) traits in young adults (ages 18-24) who are seeking help at a mental health clinic, highlighting that diagnosing ASD is evolving and affecting population estimates.
- - Researchers had 259 patients complete two self-report questionnaires to assess ASD traits, revealing that 16.2% had scores above the standard cut-off on both tools; this figure dropped to 13.13% with stricter criteria on one scale.
- - The authors recommend that mental health professionals include screenings for autistic traits when evaluating young adults with mental health issues, advocating for further diagnostic evaluations if positive results are found on the screening tests.
Exploring the links between sensory sensitivity, autistic traits and autism-related eating behaviours in a sample of adult women with eating disorders.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the link between autistic traits and eating disorders in adult women, focusing on how these traits and sensory sensitivity affect eating behaviors.
- Out of 75 participants, 12% showed significant autistic traits, while 68% had elevated scores in a specific autism assessment.
- Findings suggest that higher sensory sensitivity correlates with more autistic traits, which are tied to dysfunctional eating behaviors in individuals with various eating disorders, indicating the need for more research in this area.

The Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R) demonstrated excellent results in its original study, with a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 100% (Ritvo et al. in J Autism Dev Disord 41:1076-1089, 2011). As a result, it was included in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines (Recommendations | Autism spectrum disorder in adults: diagnosis and management | Guidance | NICE, 2022).

Objective: Predicting long-term functional outcomes shortly after a stroke is challenging, even for experienced neurologists. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate multiple machine learning models and the importance of clinical/radiological parameters to develop a model that balances minimal input data with reliable predictions of long-term functional independency.
Methods: Our study utilized data from the German Stroke Registry on patients with large anterior vessel occlusion who underwent endovascular treatment.
