Titre : Validation of Autism Spectrum Quotient Adult Version in an Australian Sample Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jaclyn BROADBENT, Auteur ; I. GALIC, Auteur ; Mark A.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Autism Spectrum Quotient is used to assess autistic spectrum traits in intellectually competent adults in both the general population and the autism spectrum community. While the autism spectrum Quotient has been validated in several different cultures, to date no study has assessed the psychometrics of the Autism Spectrum Quotient on an Australian population. The purpose of this study was to assess the psychometrics of the autism spectrum Quotient in an Australian sample of both typically developing individuals ( ) and individuals with autism spectrum disorder ( ). The results revealed that the internal consistency and the test-retest reliability were satisfactory; individuals with autism spectrum disorder scored higher on total Autism Spectrum Quotient score and its subscales than typically developing individuals; however, gender differences were not apparent on total score. Possible cultural differences may explain some of the psychometric variations found. The results of this analysis revealed that the Autism Spectrum Quotient was a reliable instrument for investigating variation in autistic symptomology in both typically developing and Autism Spectrum Disorders populations within an Australian population.

Reciprocity in Interaction: A Window on the First Year of Life in Autism / Fabio APICELLA in Autism Research and Treatment, (April 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research and Treatment > (April 2013) . - 12 p. 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.
