The Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre, School of Psychological Science, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia

School of Psychological Science, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 50:290-9. 2009..Parental effects associated with each type of autism also serve to cast light on the biological underpinnings of autism... 
A comparative study of the use and understanding of self-presentational display rules in children with high functioning autism and Asperger's disorderJosephine Barbaro

J Autism Dev Disord 37:1235-46. 2007..The children with HFA and AspD did not differ on their use or understanding of SPDRs, and the results are discussed in relation to the similarities and differences between these diagnostic conditions...- Growth in stature and head circumference in high-functioning autism and Asperger disorder during the first 3 years of lifeCheryl Dissanayake
School of Psychological Science, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia
Dev Psychopathol 18:381-93. 2006..A trend toward higher growth rate in head circumference was also found among the former group. The results indicate that growth dysregulation in autism is not specific to the brain but also involves growth in stature... 
Molecular and cognitive predictors of the continuum of autistic behaviours in fragile XDanuta Z Loesch
School of Psychological Science, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Vic, Australia
Neurosci Biobehav Rev 31:315-26. 2007..We also emphasize that FXS offers a unique molecular model for autism since FMRP regulates the translation of many other genes involved in synaptic formation and plasticity which should be natural targets for further exploration...- Autism spectrum phenotype in males and females with fragile X full mutation and premutationSally Clifford
School of Psychological Science, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia
J Autism Dev Disord 37:738-47. 2007..In the premutation group, 14% males and 5% females met the ADOS-G criteria for ASD.

Autism 10:199-220. 2006..The results were supportive of the hypothesis that Asperger's disorder is on a continuum with autistic disorder... - Can 15-month-old infants understand pretence? An investigation using the 'violation-of-expectation' paradigmJohn Tee
School of Psychological Science, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia
Acta Psychol (Amst) 138:316-21. 2011..It was concluded that 15-month-old infants may look longer at pretend events due to violations of expectations they have about familiar action sequences, rather than because they understand others' pretence behaviour... - Annotation: The similarities and differences between autistic disorder and Asperger's disorder: a review of the empirical evidenceKathleen E Macintosh
School of Psychological Science, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 45:421-34. 2004..The findings are consistent with the view that these disorders belong on an autism spectrum... - The early development of joint attention in infants with autistic disorder using home video observations and parental interviewSally M Clifford
