        Prevalence and risk factors for parent-reported recurrent otitis media during early childhood

        The objective was to describe the prevalence and risk factors of recurrent otitis media (rOM) in an urban Australian population at 3 years of age. ...

        Maternal serum vitamin D levels during pregnancy and offspring neurocognitive development

        The objective was to determine the association between maternal serum 25(OH)-vitamin D concentrations and behavioural, emotional and language outcomes... ...

        The association between perinatal testosterone concentration and early vocabulary development

        Prenatal exposure to testosterone is known to affect fetal brain maturation and later neurocognitive function. ...

        Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorder

        We examine the level of comorbidity found between Autism spectrum disorder and Schizophrenia spectrum disorders at a clinical and trait level ...

        Perinatal testosterone exposure and autistic-like traits in the general population: a longitudinal pregnancy-cohort study

        Increased prenatal testosterone exposure has been hypothesized as a mechanism underlying autism spectrum disorders (ASD). ...

        Utilising Behavioural and Sensory Profiles and Associated Perinatal Factors to Identify Meaningful Subgroups in Autism Spectrum Disorder

        The heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorder clinically and aetiologically hinders intervention matching and prediction of outcomes. This study investigated if the behavioural, sensory, and perinatal factor profiles of autistic children could be used to identify distinct subgroups. Participants on the autism spectrum aged 2 to 17 years and their families were sourced via the Australian Autism Biobank. ...

        Investigating the impact of developmental coordination difficulties across home, school, and community settings: Findings from the Australian Impact for DCD survey

        To evaluate the participation difficulties experienced by children with developmental coordination disorder in home, school, and community environments.   ...

        The valence-specific empathy imbalance hypothesis of autism: The role of autistic traits, alexithymia, emotion dysregulation, and gender differences

        Individuals exhibiting pronounced autistic traits (e.g., social differences and specialised interests) may struggle with cognitive empathy (i.e., the ability to infer others' emotions), although the relationship with affective empathy (i.e., the ability to share others' emotions) is less clear in that higher levels of autistic traits may be linked with increased affective empathy for negative emotions but reduced affective empathy for positive emotions. The current study investigates this empathy profile and whether alexithymia and emotion dysregulation help to explain it. ...

        Psychosocial wellbeing, parental concerns, and familial impact of children with developmental coordination disorder

        Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition impacting motor skill acquisition and competence. While previous studies have identified adverse psychosocial outcomes in DCD, they are limited by small or population-screened, community-based samples. ...

        Prenatal depressive symptoms and childhood development of brain limbic and default mode network structure

        Prenatal depressive symptoms are linked to negative child behavioral and cognitive outcomes and predict later psychopathology in adolescent children. Prior work links prenatal depressive symptoms to child brain structure in regions like the amygdala; however, the relationship between symptoms and the development of brain structure over time remains unclear. ...

        Continuity of temperament subgroup classifications from infancy to toddlerhood in the context of early autism traits

        Our previous cross-sectional investigation (Chetcuti et al., 2020) showed that infants with autism traits could be divided into distinct subgroups based on temperament. This longitudinal study builds on this existing work by exploring the continuity of temperament subgroup classifications and their associations with behavioral/clinical phenotypic features from infancy to toddlerhood. ...

        Perceived Support Needs of School-Aged Young People on the Autism Spectrum and Their Caregivers

        With increasing demands for health, disability and education services, innovative approaches can help distribute limited resources according to need. Despite an increased focus on support needs within the clinical pathway and policy landscape, the body of research knowledge on this topic is at a relatively early stage. However, there appears to be a sense of unmet support needs and dissatisfaction with the provision of required support following an autism diagnosis amongst caregivers of young people on the spectrum. ...
