Titre : Age trends in visual exploration of social and nonsocial information in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jed T. ELISON, Auteur ; Noah J. SASSON, Auteur ; Lauren M. TURNER-BROWN, Auteur ; Gabriel S. DICHTER, Auteur ; James W. BODFISH, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.842-851 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Attention Visual exploration Development Eye tracking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Because previous studies of attention in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been restricted in age range examined, little is known about how these processes develop over the course of childhood. In this study we examined cross-sectional age effects on patterns of visual attention to social and nonsocial information in 43 typically developing children and 51 children with ASD ranging in age from 2 to 18. Results indicated a sharp increase in visual exploration with age and a decrease in perseverative and detail-focused attention for both groups of children. However, increased age was associated with greater increases in visual exploration for typically developing children than for those children with ASD. The developmental differences were most pronounced for attention to certain nonsocial stimuli as children with ASD demonstrated a disproportionate attentional bias for these stimuli from very early in life. Disproportionate visual attention to certain nonsocial objects relative to social stimuli in ASD spanned from early to late childhood, and thus may represent both an early and a persistent characteristic of the disorder.

Autism and the broad autism phenotype: familial patterns and intergenerational transmission / Noah J. SASSON in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 5-1 (December 2013)

Titre : Autism and the broad autism phenotype: familial patterns and intergenerational transmission Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Noah J. SASSON, Auteur ; K. S. LAM, Auteur ; M. PARLIER, Auteur ; Julie L. DANIELS, Auteur ; J. PIVEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.11 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Features of the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) are disproportionately prevalent in parents of a child with autism, highlighting familial patterns indicative of heritability. It is unclear, however, whether the presence of BAP features in both parents confers an increased liability for autism. The current study explores whether the presence of BAP features in two biological parents occurs more frequently in parents of a child with autism relative to comparison parents, whether parental pairs of a child with autism more commonly consist of one or two parents with BAP features, and whether these features are associated with severity of autism behaviors in probands. METHOD: Seven hundred eleven parents of a child with an autism spectrum disorder and 981 comparison parents completed the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire. Parents of a child with autism also completed the Social Communication Questionnaire. RESULTS: Although parental pairs of a child with autism were more likely than comparison parental pairs to have both parents characterized by the presence of the BAP, they more commonly consisted of a single parent with BAP features. The presence of the BAP in parents was associated with the severity of autism behaviors in probands, with the lowest severity occurring for children of parental pairs in which neither parent exhibited a BAP feature. Severity did not differ between children of two affected parents and those of just one. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, these findings indicate that parental pairs of children with autism frequently consist of a single parent with BAP characteristics and suggest that future studies searching for implicated genes may benefit from a more narrow focus that identifies the transmitting parent. The evidence of intergenerational transmission reported here also provides further confirmation of the high heritability of autism that is unaccounted for by the contribution of de novo mutations currently emphasized in the field of autism genetics.

Titre : Brief Report: Adults with Autism are Less Accurate at Predicting How Their Personality Traits are Evaluated by Unfamiliar Observers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Noah J. SASSON, Auteur ; K. E. MORRISON, Auteur ; A. E. PINKHAM, Auteur ; D. J. FASO, Auteur ; M. CHMIELEWSKI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2243-2248 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults Meta-accuracy Meta-perception Personality Social cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social cognitive impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are well-documented, yet little research has examined whether ASD is also characterized by difficulties in meta-perception, or the ability to gauge how one is perceived. In this study, ASD and TD adults (N = 22) largely did not differ on the self-perception of their personality traits or on how they expected to be perceived by unfamiliar observers. However adults with ASD were rated less favorably by TD observers (N = 412) on 19 out of 20 personality items, and adults with ASD were less accurate at predicting how they would be perceived. These findings suggest impaired meta-perception in ASD that may serve as a potential mechanism through which reduced social cognitive ability contributes to social impairment.

TURNER-BROWN, Auteur ; Gabriel S. DICHTER, Auteur ; James W. BODFISH, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.242-247 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Attention Visual exploration Toddlers Perseveration Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : School-aged children and adolescents with autism demonstrate circumscribed attentional patterns to nonsocial aspects of complex visual arrays (Sasson et al. 2008). The current study downward extended these findings to a sample of 2–5 year-olds with autism and 2–5 year-old typically developing children. Eye-tracking was used to quantify discrete aspects of visual attention to picture arrays containing combinations of social pictures, pictures of objects frequently involved in circumscribed interests in persons with autism (e.g., trains), and pictures of more commonplace objects (e.g., clothing). The children with autism exhibited greater exploration and perseverative attention on objects related to circumscribed interests than did typically developing children. Results suggest that circumscribed attention may be an early emerging characteristic of autism.
