Methods A group of n?=?2400 unselected Italian toddlers were screened by paediatricians during routine well?CHild visits between 18 and 24 months,in three Italian regions, representative of the North, Centre and South of Italy. The psychometric properties and factor structure of the Q?CHAT were explored and compared with published literature from Asia and the UK. Results The total Q?CHAT scores in our sample confirmed a normal distribution. Mean Q?CHAT scores across regions were consistent with those reported in UK studies and likewise, a gender effect was found, with boys scoring higher than girls.We also found a remarkable consistency with the three-factor structure of the Asian Q?CHAT. Internal consistency was acceptable for both the Q?CHAT total score and the three factors. Conclusions Our results confirm the dimensional distribution of autistic traits and related symptoms in unselected populations across different cultures. The Q?CHAT is a valid and reliable dimensional screening instrument to be used within a routine paediatric setting during well-child assessments.The main normative data and factor structure replicated in our sample En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2019.04.004 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=399

Titre : Reciprocity in Interaction: A Window on the First Year of Life in Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Fabio APICELLA, Auteur ; Natasha CHERICONI, Auteur ; Valeria COSTANZO, Auteur ; Sara BALDINI, Auteur ; Lucia BILLECI, Auteur ; David COHEN, Auteur ; Filippo MURATORI, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : 12 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : From early infancy onwards, young children appear motivated to engage reciprocally with others and share psychological states during dyadic interactions. Although poor reciprocity is one of the defining features of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), few studies have focused on the direct assessment of real-life reciprocal behavior; consequently, our knowledge of the nature and the development of this core feature of autism is still limited. In this study, we describe the phenomenon of reciprocity in infant-caregiver interaction by analyzing family movies taken during the first year of life of 10 infants with ASD and 9 infants with typical development (TD). We analyzed reciprocal behaviors by means of a coding scheme developed for this purpose (caregiver-infant reciprocity scale (CIRS)). Infants with ASD displayed less motor activity during the first semester and subsequently fewer vocalizations, compared to TD infants. Caregivers of ASD infants showed in the second semester shorter periods of involvement and a reduction of affectionate touch. These results suggest that from the first months of life a nonsynchronic motor-vocal pattern may interfere in different ways with the development of reciprocity in the primary relationship between infants later diagnosed with ASD and their caregivers.
