Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from a clinically characterized patient with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The PMBCs were reprogrammed with the human OSKM transcription factors using the Sendai-virus delivery system. The pluripotency of transgene-free iPSCs was verified by immunocytochemistry for pluripotency markers and by spontaneous in vitro differentiation towards the 3 germ layers. Furthermore, the iPSC line showed normal karyotype. Our model might offer a good platform to study the pathomechanism of ASD, also for drug testing, early biomarker discovery and gene therapy studies.

Emerging evidence suggests aberrant functional connectivity (FC) of brain networks in children, adolescents, and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known about alterations of dynamic FC in toddlers with ASD. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of brain network dynamics in ASD toddlers.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an early-onset neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by highly heterogeneous language abilities. These variations necessitate sensitive and comprehensive assessments, with narrative analysis being an effective method. This study aimed to examine the micro- and macrostructural aspects of narratives of Mandarin-speaking children with ASD.

The pandemic resulting from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has entailed social and psychological consequences for the Spanish population, with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) being particularly vulnerable due to their genetic characteristics. The present study focuses on the efforts of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder to improve their situation during the pandemic. In particular, the objective is to identify promoting variables (subjective well-being, positive mental health, social support, humour, cognitive reappraisal, and self-esteem) and sociodemographic variables that predict resilience, marking positive coping with this adverse situation.
