Growth of Head Circumference in Autistic Infants During the First Year of Life / Aya FUKUMOTO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-3 (March 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-3 (March 2008) . - p.411-418 Titre : Growth of Head Circumference in Autistic Infants During the First Year of Life Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Aya FUKUMOTO, Auteur ; Toshiaki HASHIMOTO, Auteur ; Hiromichi ITO, Auteur ; Mio NISHIMURA, Auteur ; Yoshimi TSUDA, Auteur ; Masahito MIYAZAKI, Auteur ; Kenji MORI, Auteur ; Kokichi ARISAWA, Auteur ; Shoji KAGAMI, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.411-418 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Head-circumference Body-length Body-weight “Mother-and-baby”-notebook Infant-physical-growth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study analyzed the increase in head circumference (HC) of 85 autistic infants (64 boys and 21 girls) during their first year of life. The data were collected from their “mother-and-baby” notebooks. This notebook is a medical record of the baby’s growth and development delivered to the parents of all babies born in Japan. This is a retrospective study which gathered the data from the notebooks after the diagnosis of autism. However, none of the babies were known to have autism at the time the records were made. The head circumference at birth of these autistic children was similar to that of the average found in a Japanese Government Study of 14,115 children. However, it showed a marked increase at 1 month after birth. The discrepancy reached a peak at 6 months, while the difference became smaller at 12 months. Body length (BL) and body weight (BW) began to increase at 3 months, although at a rate smaller than the head circumference increase.

Parents/teachers from Long Island, NY, completed the Child Symptom Inventory-4, a DSM-IV-referenced rating scale for 6- to 12-year-old clinical referrals with an ASD (N = 317) or nonASD psychiatric (N = 191) diagnosis. Two separate groups of children attending public school, regular education classes in the same geographic area were also rated by their parents (N = 446) and teachers (N = 464). Stepwise forward regression generated a scoring algorithm based on a subset of all CSI-4 items that best differentiated ASD from nonASD children. ROC analyses indicated high levels of sensitivity/specificity for recommended ASD cutoff scores for parent and teacher ratings.

Using an event narratives task, this study tested the hypotheses that theory of mind (ToM) deficits and weak central coherence (WCC, a local processing bias) undermine different aspects of event knowledge in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Event narratives of ASD ToM-failers were overall significantly impaired. ASD ToM-passers showed more specific abnormalities relating to variable activities, and some of these were significantly associated to WCC. Abnormalities in event knowledge might help linking ASD-typical social deficits in real-life situations and the adherence to inflexible routines.

Despite a paucity of research, individuals on the autism spectrum are generally believed to lack empathy. In the current study we used a new, photo-based measure, the Multifaceted Empathy Test (MET), to assess empathy multidimensionally in a group of 17 individuals with Asperger syndrome (AS) and 18 well-matched controls. Results suggested that while individuals with AS are impaired in cognitive empathy, they do not differ from controls in emotional empathy. Level of general emotional arousability and socially desirable answer tendencies did not differ between groups. Internal consistency of the MET’s scales ranged from .71 to .92, and convergent and divergent validity were highly satisfactory.

The ADI-R was completed for 1,170 youths and adults (ages 2–46). Results of EFAs indicated strong support for two-factor structure, with social communication and stereotyped behavior factors. CFAs computed in a holdout sub-sample indicated roughly equal support for the above described two-factor model and a three factor model separating peer relationships and play from other social and communicative behaviors. Multi-group CFAs suggested that both two and three factor models showed good stability across age, with only slight changes in factor relationships. These findings indicate that the current ADI-R structure be revised to more accurately reflect the relationships between sub-scales.

Using the 1997–2004 National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) in Taiwan, we identified a total of 3495 autistic children born in 1997–1999 and 13964 matched controls. Results indicate that suburban and rural autism tended to receive the diagnosis at an older age and to have a longer diagnosis process as compared with urban counterparts. Male gender, a younger age of diagnosis, and being diagnosed by psychiatric specialty strongly predict subsequent greater utilization of autism-specific services (all p < 0.05). Health policy makers and other service providers should address the needs of children with early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders in rural areas, particularly those from disadvantaged families.

Results indicate that suburban and rural autism tended to receive the diagnosis at an older age and to have a longer diagnosis process as compared with urban counterparts. Male gender, a younger age of diagnosis, and being diagnosed by psychiatric specialty strongly predict subsequent greater utilization of autism-specific services (all p < 0.05). Health policy makers and other service providers should address the needs of children with early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders in rural areas, particularly those from disadvantaged families.

Results demonstrated a personal episodic memory deficit in the ASD group in the absence of a personal semantic memory deficit, suggesting a deficit dissociation between these two components of memory in ASD. Further analysis of memories across different lifetime periods revealed the adolescent and early adult lifetime periods to facilitate memory recall in the control group, but not in the ASD group. These findings suggest a distinctive pattern of remembering in ASD.

To test this proposal, associations were assessed between three visuo-spatial tasks and prenatal testosterone, indexed in second-to-fourth digit length ratios (2D:4D). The study included children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD (N = 28), and chronological as well as mental age matched typically-developing children (N = 31). While the group with ASD outperformed the control group at Mental Rotation and Figure-Disembedding, these group differences were not related to differences in prenatal testosterone level. Previous findings of an association between Targeting and 2D:4D were replicated in typically-developing children and children with ASD. The implications of these results for the extreme male brain (EMB) theory of autism are discussed.

It has also been suggested that children and adults may present with atypical sensory responses while failing to meet the criteria for other medical or psychological diagnoses. This may be particularly true for individuals with over-responsivity to sensation. This article reviews the literature related to sensory over-responsivity and presents three pediatric cases that present a profile of having sensory over-responsivity without a co-occurring diagnosis. Findings from these cases provide very preliminary evidence to support the suggestion that sensory over-responsivity can occur as a sole diagnosis. Within this small group, tactile over-responsivity was the most common and pervasive form of this condition.

Brief Report: Imitation of Meaningless Gestures in Individuals with Asperger Syndrome and High-functioning Autism / Heidi STIEGLITZ HAM in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-3 (March 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-3 (March 2008) . - p.569-573 Titre : Brief Report: Imitation of Meaningless Gestures in Individuals with Asperger Syndrome and High-functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Heidi STIEGLITZ HAM, Auteur ; Martin CORLEY, Auteur ; Gnanathusharan RAJENDRAN, Auteur ; Jean CARLETTA, Auteur ; Sara SWANSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.569-573 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism-Spectrum-Disorder ASD Autism Asperger-syndrome Imitation Meaningless-gestures Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Nineteen people with Asperger syndrome (AS)/High-Functioning Autism (HFA) (ages 7–15) were tested on imitation of two types of meaningless gesture: hand postures and finger positions. The individuals with AS/HFA achieved lower scores in the imitation of both hand and finger positions relative to a matched neurotypical group. The between-group difference was primarily accounted for by performance on a test of visual motor integration, together with a hand imitation deficit which was specifically due to errors in body part orientation. Our findings implicate both visuomotor processes (Damasio and Maurer, 1978) and self-other mapping (Rogers and Pennington, 1991) in ASD imitation deficits. Following Goldenberg (1999), we propose that difficulties with body part orientation may underlie problems in meaningless gesture imitation.

Brief Report: Perception of Genuine and Posed Smiles by Individuals with Autism / Zillah L. BORASTON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-3 (March 2008)

BORASTON, Auteur ; Sarah-Jayne BLAKEMORE, Auteur ; Ben CORDEN, Auteur ; Lynden K. MILES, Auteur ; David H. SKUSE, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.574-580 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger-syndrome Social-cognition Face-processing Smile Eye-tracking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with autism are impaired in the recognition of fear, which may be due to their reduced tendency to look at the eyes. Here we investigated another potential perceptual and social consequence of reduced eye fixation. The eye region of the face is critical for identifying genuine, or sincere, smiles. We therefore investigated this ability in adults with autism. We used eye-tracking to measure gaze behaviour to faces displaying posed and genuine smiles. Adults with autism were impaired on the posed/genuine smile task and looked at the eyes significantly less than did controls. Also, within the autism group, task performance correlated with social interaction ability. We conclude that reduced eye contact in autism leads to reduced ability to discriminate genuine from posed smiles with downstream effects on social interaction.

CROOKE, Auteur ; Ryan E. HENDRIX, Auteur ; Janine Y. RACHMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.581-591 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger-syndrome High-functioning-autism Social-cognition Social-skills Social-thinking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This is the first report from a large multiple baseline single-subject design study of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This brief report examines effectiveness of teaching a social cognitive (Social Thinking) approach to six males with Asperger syndrome (AS) or High Functioning Autism (HFA). Data included are restricted to pre- post-treatment comparisons of verbal and non-verbal social behaviors. Structured treatment and semi-structured generalization sessions occurred over eight weeks. Results indicated significant changes from pre- to post- measures on both verbal/nonverbal “expected” and “unexpected” behaviors, significant increases in the subcategories of “expected verbal”, “listening/thinking with eyes”, and “initiations”, and robust decreases in the subcategories of “unexpected-verbal” and “unexpected-nonverbal”. Importance of social cognitive approaches for children AS and HFA is discussed.
