Autism spectrum disorder in ICD-11—a critical reflection of its possible impact on clinical practice and research

I Kamp-Becker�- Molecular Psychiatry, 2024
This perspective article compares and contrasts the conceptualization of Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in ICD-11 and DSM-5. By guiding the user through the ICD-
11 text, it is argued that, in contrast to DSM-5, ICD-11 allows a high variety in�…

A revisit of the amygdala theory of autism: Twenty years after

S Wang, X Li�- Neuropsychologia, 2023
The human amygdala has long been implicated to play a key role in autism spectrum
disorder (ASD). Yet it remains unclear to what extent the amygdala accounts for the
social dysfunctions in ASD. Here, we review studies that investigate the relationship�…

A comparison of methods for measuring camouflaging in autism

B Hannon, W Mandy, L Hull�- Autism Research, 2023
Interest in social camouflaging has led to a multiplicity of measurement methods of
uncertain validity. This two‐part investigation first used a systematic review (“Study
1”) to identify and appraise methods used to quantify camouflaging of autistic traits�…

Molecular and network-level mechanisms explaining individual differences in autism spectrum disorder

AM Buch, PE V�rtes, J Seidlitz, SH Kim, L Grosenick…�- Nature neuroscience, 2023
The mechanisms underlying phenotypic heterogeneity in autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) are not well understood. Using a large neuroimaging dataset, we identified
three latent dimensions of functional brain network connectivity that predicted�…

Autism severity and its relationship to disability

E Waizbard‐Bartov, D Fein, C Lord, DG Amaral�- Autism Research, 2023
Autism severity is currently defined and measured based exclusively on the severity
levels of the two core symptom domains: social‐communication and restricted or
repetitive patterns of behaviors and interests. Autistic individuals, however, are often�…

Neural signatures of social inferences predict the number of real-life social contacts and autism severity

A Tusche, RP Spunt, LK Paul, JM Tyszka, R Adolphs�- Nature Communications, 2023
We regularly infer other people's thoughts and feelings from observing their actions,
but how this ability contributes to successful social behavior and interactions remains
unknown. We show that neural activation patterns during social inferences obtained�…

Autistic adults perceive and experience laughter differently to non-autistic adults

CQ Cai, SJ White, SHY Chen, MAE Mueller, SK Scott�- Scientific Reports, 2024
Human interaction is immersed in laughter; though genuine and posed laughter are
acoustically distinct, they are both crucial socio-emotional signals. In this novel study,
autistic and non-autistic adults explicitly rated the affective properties of genuine and�…

The autism spectrum among transgender youth: default mode functional connectivity

JF Strang, LS McClellan, S Li, AE Jack, GL Wallace…�- Cerebral cortex, 2023
The common intersection of autism and transgender identities has been described in
clinical and community contexts. This study investigates autism-related
neurophenotypes among transgender youth. Forty-five transgender youth, evenly�…

Characterizing the autism spectrum phenotype in DYRK1A‐related syndrome

EC Kurtz‐Nelson, HM Rea, AC Petriceks, CM Hudac…�- Autism Research, 2023
Likely gene‐disrupting (LGD) variants in DYRK1A are causative of DYRK1A
syndrome and associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual
disability (ID). While many individuals with DYRK1A syndrome are diagnosed with�…

Atypical neural encoding of faces in individuals with autism spectrum disorder

Y Wang, R Cao, PN Chakravarthula, H Yu, S Wang�- Cerebral Cortex, 2024
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience pervasive difficulties in
processing social information from faces. However, the behavioral and neural
mechanisms underlying social trait judgments of faces in ASD remain largely�…
