AI Article Synopsis
- The study aims to provide comparative data on emotion regulation measures for young autistic children, which is currently lacking in publicly available resources.
- Researchers analyzed the Emotion Regulation Checklist for 98 autistic children aged 4-8 over a 10-month period, focusing on the percentage change in their emotional responses.
- The findings will support future therapeutic intervention studies by offering autism-specific benchmarks for emotional development and behavior regulation in autistic children.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Comparative data of autism-sensitive standardized measures of emotion regulation and lability, describing percentage change over time for populations of young autistic children, are currently publicly unavailable. We propose publication of such data as a support for future therapeutic intervention studies.
Methods: We generate and present data of the Emotion Regulation Checklist (and subscales) for a comparative array of percentage change over time (10 months) for autistic children not receiving psychological or behavioral therapies (N = 98, ages 4-8).
Results: Comparative data summaries are presented here, and the full data set is presented as Online Resource 1.
Conclusion: We propose that this autism-sensitive measure, now with autism-specific comparative data to provide a comparison group in studies of therapeutic intervention, is well placed to assess co-occurring affective, regulatory, and behavioral factors of personal development for autistic children.

Purpose: Autistic youth are at heightened risk of mental health issues and face several barriers to accessing appropriate supports. A lack of available services is a common barrier that many autistic youth experience, with only 43% of autistic youth from the US who needed mental health services receiving them. Little is known about the availability of these mental health services in Canada, despite the high prevalence of mental health issues in autistic youth.

Broader Autism Phenotype (BAP) traits may be present in parents of children on the autism spectrum. However, the prevalence and impact of these traits on parental mental health is poorly understood. We explore BAP traits and its relationship to mental health in 228 fathers and 261 mothers from a sample of 266 scholars from the EPINED study (Spain) grouped as follows: non-autism (N = 122), autism traits (N = 93: 38 subthreshold autism and 55 autism symptoms) and autism (N = 51).

The etiology of ASD is extremely heterogeneous, with a large number of ASD cases that are of unknown or complex etiology, which suggests the potential contribution of epigenetic risk factors. In particular, epidemiological and animal model studies suggest that inflammation during pregnancy could lead to an increased risk of ASD in the offspring.
