An investigation of the ‘female camouflage effect’ in autism using a computerized ADOS-2 and a test of sex/gender differences (2016, background): “To a certain degree, these theories can explain why autistic traits are fewer in many high-functioning girls with autism as compared to boys with autism [20, 21].”
The genetics of autism spectrum disorders and related neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood. (2010, background): “mates derived from studies of the entire distribution of autistic traits (8, 12, 13, 32).”
Sex Differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence from a Large Sample of Children and Adolescents (2011, result): “The observation that sex differences in ASD may mirror those between typically developing males and females is consistent with the notion that ASD is a dimensional disorder, representing the extreme of traits that extend throughout general population (Constantino and Todd 2003).”
Validation of a Brief Quantitative Measure of Autistic Traits: Comparison of the Social Responsiveness Scale with the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (2003, methodology): “The latter is unlikely to have affected these findings since there are relatively small effects of age on SRS scores in community-based samples (Constantino et al., 2000; Constantino & Todd, 2000, 2003 ).”
The developmental, dimensional and diagnostic interview (3di): a novel computerized assessment for autism spectrum disorders. (2004, background): “Autistic traits may be even more common, affecting up to 140 per 10,000 boys and 30 per 10,000 girls (Constantino and Todd, 2003).”
Diffusion tensor imaging of the corpus callosum in Autism (2007, positive): “, 2000) and in autism and control subjects with the Social Reciprocity/Responsiveness Scale (SRS) (Constantino and Todd, 2003).”
The Structure and Nature of the Broader Autism Phenotype in a Non-clinical Sample (2011, background): “The SRS was constructed to reflect five dimensions involving Autistic Awareness, Cognition, Communication, Motivation, and Mannerisms; however, factor analytic studies of the SRS suggest a single underlying factor (Constantino and Todd 2003; Constantino et al. 2004).”
Factor Structure, Reliability and Criterion Validity of the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ): A Study in Dutch Population and Patient Groups (2008, background): “continuously distributed in the population (Constantino and Todd 2003; Piven et al. 1997; Spiker et al. 2002).”
The UNC/UMN Baby Connectome Project (BCP): An Overview of the Study Design and Protocol Development (2018, positive): “The Video-Referenced Rating of Reciprocal Social Behavior (vr-RSB; Marrus et al., 2015) is a downward extension of the 63-item Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS; Constantino et al., 2003; Constantino & Todd, 2003), which is among the most widely used informantreport instruments in the autism field.”
Time to give up on a single explanation for autism (2006, background): “The distribution of such traits supports a smooth continuum (at least at the behavioral level) between individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for ASD and individuals in the general populatio”
Autism spectrum disorders: developmental disconnection syndromes (2007, background): “The severity of the three core disturbances varies across the autisms, but many of the core and associated features show familial clustering [1,22–24] and evidence of heritability [25].”
