While previous research has examined perinatal factors in the context of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), studies focusing on sociocultural factors is limited. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis utilizing data from the Australian Autism Biobank (AAB), which encompasses autistic children aged 2-17, their siblings, parents, and unrelated controls. Employing multivariable regression analyses, we aimed to identify factors associated with ASD across various domains, spanning health and lifestyle, perinatal, and postnatal contexts.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by significant impairments in social interaction, often manifested in facial recognition deficits. These deficits hinder individuals with ASD from recognizing facial identities and interpreting emotions, further complicating social communication. This review explores the neural mechanisms underlying these deficits, focusing on both functional anomalies and anatomical differences in key brain regions such as the fusiform gyrus (FG), amygdala, superior temporal sulcus (STS), and prefrontal cortex (PFC).

Cannabis use during pregnancy is increasing; the study of adverse outcomes in cannabis-exposed pregnancies is therefore important. Previous articles in this series described increased risks of maternal adverse outcomes, fetal adverse outcomes, birth defects in newborns, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood. This article examines neuropsychiatric adverse outcomes in offspring gestationally exposed to cannabis.

Background: Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a rare genetic condition caused by mutation to TSC1 or TSC2 genes, with a population prevalence of 1/7000 births. TSC manifests behaviorally with features of autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability. Resting state electroencephalography (EEG) offers a window into neural oscillatory activity and may serve as an intermediate biomarker between gene expression and behavioral manifestations.

Background: Prematurity complications are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in offspring, including adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. The association between preterm birth (PTB) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains debated.
Objective: To investigate the association between PTB and ASD diagnosis during childhood.
