A prospective study of fetal head growth, autistic traits and autism spectrum disorder
This study included 3,820 children from two longitudinal prenatal cohorts in The Netherlands and Australia, comprising 60 individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of ASD. Latent growth curve models were used to examine the relationship between fetal head circumference measured at three different time points and autistic traits measured in postnatal life using either the Social Responsiveness Scale or the Autism‐Spectrum Quotient. While lower initial prenatal HC was weakly associated with increasing autistic traits in the Dutch cohort, this relationship was not observed in the Australian cohort, nor when the two cohorts wer...

Fostering Spontaneous Visual Attention in Children on the Autism Spectrum: A Proof ‐of‐Concept Study Comparing Singing and Speech
In this study, children watched videos of someone singing or reading a story. The results show that children look more at the person if they were singing and if the story was familiar to them.

Bidirectional influences of caregiver utterances and supported joint engagement in children with and without autism spectrum disorder
This study examined sequential associations between pairs of caregiver talk and caregiver‐child joint engagement categories. Sequential associations quantify the extent to which one event (such as a particular type of caregiver talk) follows another event (such as a particular type of joint engagement) in a pre‐specified time window, while controlling for the chance occurrence of the sequence. Although unable to support strong conclusions about causality, the requirement of sequential analysis that key events occur within a close temporal sequence rules out alternative explanation for associations that summary‐level ...
