Measure: Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) Time: Change in CGI-I from Baseline to Week 12 (Change over 12 weeks)Description: The MERS-R is designed to assess three domains of rigid behavior in children and adults with ASD: 1. Behavioral Rigidity (e.g., insistence on sameness, things must be done in his/her way, etc.) 2. Cognitive Rigidity (e.g., special interests, inflexible adherence to rules, etc.) 3. Protest (in response to deviation from rigidity; e.g., verbal objection, tantrum, physical aggression).
Measure: Montefiore Einstein Rigidity Scale-Revised (MERS-R) Time: Change in MERS-R from Baseline to Week 12 (Change over 12 weeks)The Social ABCs is an evidence-based, developmentally informed, caregiver-mediated behavioural intervention for toddlers with suspected or confirmed Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is based on principles of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT, grounded in Applied Behaviour Analysis), and responsive parenting. The two key targets of this program are functional verbal communication and positive caregiver-child affect sharing. This intervention takes place in the context of play and daily routines, and in all contexts is made to be fun, natural and motivating for the child. In both a pilot study and a recently completed randomized control trial, toddlers whose caregivers received training in the Social ABCs intervention showed significant gains in early language development (both responsivity and initiations), increased child smiling (mediated by parent smiling), and a trend toward increased social orienting (one important manifestation of social attention). Despite the social-communication benefits demonstrated through the Social ABCs, the research team is also motivated to foster the attentional abilities of toddlers with emerging ASD in response to compelling evidence that early attentional control abilities may play a central role in the emergence of ASD. Based on this knowledge, the current study targets not only social-communication challenges and affect sharing (as per the existing Social ABCs intervention), but also attentional control in toddlers with suspected or confirmed ASD. Using a structured, computerized attention-training protocol, this RCT evaluates the impact of supplementing the standard Social ABCs intervention with pre-intervention attentional control training.

Measure: Expressive Language Time: Week 0 and Week 30Description: Frequency of joint attentions bids on the Mini Early Social Communication (#)Scales
Measure: Joint Attention Time: Week 0 and Week 30This study entails a "proof of concept" evaluation of a novel intervention, Parents and Infants Engaged (PIE), for prodromal infants at-risk for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs). The objectives of the current study are to examine whether the PIE intervention (a) transforms parent-infant transactions over time as intended, thereby facilitating increases in the time infants spend in joint engagement with their parents, and (b) is associated with improved social-communication functioning and positive changes in indices of autonomic self-regulation in infants at-risk for NDs.
Description: This system entails continuous coding of infants' attention engagement into one of 6 mutually exclusive states: unengaged, onlooking, object engaged, person-engaged, supported joint engagement, and coordinated joint engagement. Due to the importance of the construct of engagement to our PIE theory of change, the total percent of time in joint engagement (supported + coordinated) will serve as the most proximal intervention outcome (i.e., changes expected at Posttest-1). Recent studies with children with NDs have shown that the coding system is sensitive to change in joint engagement after relatively short interventions.
Measure: Change in Parent Child Engagement Coding from pretest to posttest 1 Time: Baseline, posttest 1 (6-8 weeks after pretest)Description: This system entails continuous coding of infants' attention engagement into one of 6 mutually exclusive states: unengaged, onlooking, object engaged, person-engaged, supported joint engagement, and coordinated joint engagement. Due to the importance of the construct of engagement to our PIE theory of change, the total percent of time in joint engagement (supported + coordinated) will serve as the most proximal intervention outcome (i.e., changes expected at Posttest-1).

Measure: Change in Parent Child Engagement Coding from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: The MSEL is a standardized developmental assessment for children birth to 58 months, frequently used in studies of children with NDs, and comprised of 4 scales: Fine Motor, Visual Reception, Receptive Language, and Expressive Language. The investigators will administer only the Receptive and Expressive Language subscales of the MSEL at the second posttest and the first follow up assessment. To be eligible for the intervention portion of the study, children have to score at least 1 s.d. below the mean on either the Receptive or Expressive Language subscale of the MSEL. The investigators will report t scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10)and the standardized total Early Learning Composite (Mean = 100, SD = 15). Higher scores indicate greater developmental skills.

The investigators will report a mean score for Hypo (range = 1-5), Hyper (range = 1-5) sensory subscales. Higher scores indicate greater sensory differences in that domain (e.g. a high hypo domain score would indicate more hyposensitive reactions to sensory stimuli seen in the child).
Measure: Change in Sensory Processing Assessment for Young Children from Pretest to Posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: A treatment response measure of social communication behaviors and other behaviors associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Administration of the BOSCC involves a 12-minute video recorded interaction between an examiner and a young child using two standard sets of toys and play with bubbles. Behaviors are coded from video. Total score range is 16-80. Higher scores indicate more typical social communication skills, lower scores indicate poorer skills.
Measure: Change in The Behavioral Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC) from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: Designed to measure the extent to which children will follow attentional cues of the examiner. Six prompts for attention following are embedded into the larger study protocol. Items are scored dichotomously as yes "1" or no "0".Total score range is 0-6.

In an effort to make the Social ABCs more feasible for community service providers to provide this intervention to higher number families, an abbreviated version of the Social ABCs intervention is being offered in a mixed group/individual format in a clinic setting. The primary goal of this pilot project is to assess feasibility of this abbreviated program in the novel format and setting. The secondary goal is to train clinical service providers to facilitate this intervention, thus introducing the program into community practice.

UPDATE regarding COVID-19: The current intervention has been paused until it is safe to meet as a group again. We are still recruiting participants for cohort 2 (in TN and IL) and Cohort 1 and 2 (in WI), as the plan is to resume the intervention as soon as the situation allows and to keep the future scheduled interventions happening in the Fall of 2020, Fall of 2021 and Winter of 2022. For the baseline data collection visit, we have moved to remote data collection for all measures except the psychological testing with the youth - meaning that families will be able to partially complete baseline data via teleconference and/or phone calls and online surveys. In-person visits to complete the psychological testing with the youth will be scheduled in the future when it is safe to meet face to face.
Description: Examine whether ASSIST participation increases the intervention target of parental knowledge about adult service systems. A questionnaire created by the researchers (based on a measure developed to evaluate the VAP-T, Burke, Goldman, Hart, & Hodapp, 2016) will be used to measure parental knowledge about adult services.

In children, reduced physical activity, changes in lifestyle, disturbances in sleep patterns, lack of in-person contact with peers, poor or inadequate understanding of health risks may be risk factors of anxiety, stress, fatigue, sleep disorders (Brooks et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2020; Sprang et al, 2013). These problematic effects could be modulated by social factors (housing in urban or rural areas, availability of personal space at home, parenting stress, etc.) (Cluver et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2020).

Working with children from a variety of backgrounds and communities, the investigators use a combination of state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as MRI scans alongside traditional behavioural assessments to capture the earliest information on infant brain development. The focus of the BIBS study MRI scanning is a safe way of producing detailed images using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. It does not use X-ray. Along with learning more about brain development in general, the investigators also try to identify features that may in future help predict whether a child will or will not develop traits of conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Long-term, this may help target useful interventions early on, helping children who are most in need. Since COVID-19 arrived in the United Kingdom (U.K.) in 2020, the investigators have been given ethical approval to include testing for this infection in the mothers and children participating in the study. This may provide an opportunity to better understand how mother and baby respond to infections. The investigators particularly welcome mothers who have had a positive COVID-19 test during their pregnancy to join the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a brief, telehealth intervention (the Emotional Support Plan), intended to support autistic adults to cope with their negative emotions during and/or after the COVID-19 pandemic. The first objective is to develop and refine a brief telehealth-delivered treatment, the Emotional Support Plan (ESP), to help promote adults to cope during periods of acute distress, such as those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second objective is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the ESP to support autistic adults to implement emotion regulation strategies during periods of acute distress. The last objective is to yield preliminary data to apply for extramural grants to validate these methods to monitor and support mental health of autistic adults during key transitions (e.g., starting college).
Description: The PHQ-9, assessed weekly, is a 9-item questionnaire of psychological function over the past week with all items on a "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day) scale. Higher scores equal more distress.
Measure: Decreased distress on Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) Time: 8 week study periodDescription: EMA (Ecological Momentary Assessment) reports of decreased distress (in ESP + daily monitoring group only). Higher scores on the item equal higher levels of distress.
Measure: Decreased distress on EMA reports Time: 8 week study periodDescription: The GAD-7, assessed weekly, is a 7-item questionnaire of anxiety symptoms over the past week with all items on a "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day) scale. Higher scores equal more anxiety.
Measure: Decreased anxiety symptoms on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) Time: 8 week study periodDescription: The ASR is a measure of adaptive functioning and psychopathology (e.g., anxiety, depression symptoms). Most of the items are on a 3 point scale including: (0) Not true, (1) Somewhat or sometimes true, and (2) Very often or often true.
Measure: Adult Self Report (ASR) Time: 8 week study periodThis study will evaulate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single- and multiple-ascending doses (SAD and MAD) and food effect (FE) of RO6953958 following oral administration in healthy male participants.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, telecoaching/telepractice models are of urgent importance. Given this, parents in the study will receive parent coaching through weekly video calls. To help us understand the best types of telecoaching, we will offer all participants responsive coaching, with half of the participants receiving an additional opportunity to reflect on their own use of language strategies with a therapist using video feedback and the other half receiving responsive coaching as usual, without video feedback. This information is important in helping us to understand the best way to coach parents using a telepractice model so that parents implement the intervention at high fidelity. Furthermore, we will aim to understand how parent learning style may also influence the implementation of these strategies.
Description: Mother use of intervention strategies will be measured by transcribing and coding mother behaviors during 12-minute parent-child interactions, using a standard set of toys. The primary dependent variable will be the amount of correct strategy used expressed as a percentage correct. This is the percentage of child communication to which the adult responds correctly (i.e., contingently and within 5 seconds).
