Early motor impairments have been reported in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), but it is not clear if early detection of motor impairments can identify children at risk for NDD or how early such impairments might be detected. Our aim was to characterize early motor function in children later diagnosed with NDD relative to typically developing children or normative data.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition whose biological basis is yet to be elucidated. The Australian Autism Biobank (AAB) is an initiative of the Cooperative Research Centre for Living with Autism (Autism CRC) to establish an Australian resource of biospecimens, phenotypes and genomic data for research on autism.

Links between temperament and social-emotional difficulties are well-established in normative child development but remain poorly characterized in autism. We sought to characterize distinct temperament subgroups and their associations with concurrent internalizing and externalizing symptoms in a sample of 103 infants showing early signs of autism.

Behavioural differences in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder from simplex and multiplex families

Mothers of children with intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have poorer health than other mothers.

The aim of this study is to review research on the pre-existing characteristics which differentiate mothers of children with ASD and/or ID of unknown cause...

ID and/or ASD were found to be associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation compared with the remainder of the population.

An increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children of immigrant backgrounds has been observed

A pre-emptive intervention for the autism spectrum disorder prodrome had no immediate treatment effect on early autism spectrum disorder symptoms

Technology-based interventions may provide a relatively low-cost addition to existing therapist-delivered interventions for children with ASD
