Abstract

Social engagement, pretend play, and concern for another’s distress represent fundamental features of typical social-emotional development in the second year. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display delays and deficits in these areas, and research on toddlers at heightened risk for ASD (HR; younger siblings of children with ASD) indicates these deficits may be apparent in toddlerhood. Prior research has examined these aspects of social-emotional development individually in HR toddlers. The present paper examines them jointly as predictors of ASD. We show that social engagement, pretend play, and empathic concern at 22-months each contribute uniquely to predicting later ASD diagnosis with high specificity and moderate sensitivity. Results have important implications for early diagnosis and intervention in young children with ASD.

Analyses were originally run without doing this second standardization of composite scores; however, this made interpretation of results significantly more cumbersome. The re-standardizing of composite scores does not change any results, but allows us to interpret one-unit differences as one standard deviation differences, making results much more interpretable.

Note that the odds ratios reported in Table 3 are the odds of having ASD given scores 1 SD higher than the mean. In order to report on the odds ratio of having ASD given scores 1 SD lower than the mean, we took the inverse of the odds ratio (1/odds ratio).
