In conclusion, from a very early age, SCT can be associated with an increased risk for vulnerabilities in adaptive social functioning. These findings show a neurodevelopmental impact of the extra X or Y chromos
When contemplating the alarming depression rates in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there is a need to find factors explaining heightened symptoms of depression. Beyond the impact of autism traits, markedly increased levels of alexithymia traits should be considered as a candidate for expl...
IQ scores were computed using the BSID-III cognitive score, WPPSI-IV full scale IQ (FSIQ) or processing speed score when it was not possible to obtain an FSIQ score, or WNV score. A Two-Sample T-test was performed to compare the American Chinese and Caucasian subjects with our local ...
All participants were also required to not be taking any illicit drugs (verified by a urine drug test at the day of enrollment and day of scan) and have no MR–PET safety contraindications. Individuals with ASD with epilepsy were excluded if they had a seizure or change in seizure ...
(Shapiro–Wilk testps < 0.001), so these data were modeled using a Poisson distribution with a log link. Significance values for planned pairwise tests of GLM estimated marginal means were corrected for multiple comparisons using the Tukey method. Effect sizes for GLM are reported as un...
A t-test comparison of those groups found only two biomarkers which differed between the groups with p < 0.01, namely lactobacillus and pH. Regarding Lactobacillus, the A-Fish Oil and the A-No Fish had similar levels, but the A-Fish had dramatically lower levels than the other two groups....

There are a number of possible explanations for differing results across this age range that have potential implications for autism screening test development. In another prior study we found that when older toddlers (20 + months) were compared with younger (< 20 months), the younger ...
In line with previous results17,20,21, the number of high-impact de novo variants (protein-truncating single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and structural variants and missense variants with missense badness, PolyPhen-2 and constraint (MPC) score >2,n = 2,863–4,442) was associated with re...
