The Effect of Robot-Child Interactions on Social Attention and Verbalization Patterns of Typically Developing Children and Children With Autism Between 4 and 8 Years / Sudha SRINIVASAN in Autism - Open Access, 3-2 (September 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 3-2 (September 2013) . - 7 p. Titre : The Effect of Robot-Child Interactions on Social Attention and Verbalization Patterns of Typically Developing Children and Children With Autism Between 4 and 8 Years Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sudha SRINIVASAN, Auteur ; Anjana N. BHAT, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : 7 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Robots  Social  Attention  Imitation  Verbalization  Communication  Autism  Children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : 1.1 Background: There is anecdotal evidence for the use of robots to facilitate prosocial behaviors such as joint attention and verbalization in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). However, there have been no normative data in typically developing children to evaluate the effects of robot-child interactions on social and communication skills. 1.2 Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the changes in social attention and verbalization skills of 15 typically developing (TD) children using a structured 8-session imitation protocol within a robot-adult-child context. We further extended this imitation protocol to two children with ASDs. 1.3 Methods: Pretest, session1, session 4, session 8, and posttest sessions were coded for attention patterns and the duration of verbalization of the children. 1.4 Results: TD children directed maximum attention towards the robot during training; however, they were bored with the limited repertoire of the robot over time. The training context also facilitated spontaneous verbalization between the child and the trainer. The context of robot-child interactions also afforded social attention and spontaneous verbalization in both children with ASDs. 1.5 Conclusions: Our findings suggest that robot-child interactions may be an enjoyable context for TD children as well as children with ASDs. Our future studies will rigorously examine the use of engaging, robot-child interaction contexts for facilitating social communication skills in children with ASDs.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis is increasing worldwide. ASDs are characterized by impaired social function, stereotyped behaviors/interests and communication deficits. ASD causes are poorly understood and treatments are largely limited to behavioral interventions once problems have developed and been detected. Here we discuss the potential use of mass spectrometry and proteomics in early diagnosis of ASD. The potential link between at least some subtypes of ASD, the cholesterol system and proteins that interact with cholesterol is also discussed.

Intrathecal Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cell Transplantation in a Case of Adult Autism / Alok SHARMA in Autism - Open Access, 3-2 (September 2013)

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Cellular therapy  Autologous  Bone marrow mononuclear cells  PET CT Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with a worldwide prevalence of 1 in 88. With greater understanding of mechanism of action of cellular therapy it is now possible to address the pathogenesis of autism. Recent findings of cellular therapy offering immunomodulatory, angigogenetic and paracrine effects make it a lucrative option for treatment of autism. We administered a 33 year old adult patient of autism intrathecally, with autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs), twice with an interval of six months. On follow up at 3, 6 and 9 months post first intervention, he was re-evaluated clinically and no major or minor side effects were observed. At 6 and 9 months objective outcome measures of Indian Scale for Assessment of Autism (ISAA) and Clinical Global Impression (CGI) were used and they showed significant improvement. At the end of 9 months, on ISAA, the score improved from 94 to 64. The CGI showed improvement by change in severity of illness from 3 (Mildly ill) to 1 (Borderline mentally ill). Global improvement on CGI was scored 2 (much improved) with an efficacy index of 5 (moderate therapeutic effect). PET CT scan was repeated at 6 months which showed a balancing effect in the metabolism of affected areas. The changes observed on the PET CT scan correlated with clinical improvements. MRI remained same at 6 months thereby, indicating that PET CT scan may serve as a better monitoring tool for effects of cellular therapy. In this case study, we hypothesize that cellular therapy has repaired the neural connections and achieved balance in the excitatory and inhibitory neuronal cells by various mechanisms of neuroprotection, neuromodulation and neurorestoration. Cell therapy holds great potential and randomized controlled trials may be conducted to study their long term effects in treating autism.

Perceived Autonomy Support in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Nicole M. SHEA in Autism - Open Access, 3-2 (September 2013)

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Autonomy  Self-determination  Intrinsic motivation  Extrinsic motivation  School  Social skills  Academics  Friendship Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autonomy support has been found to be critical for typically developing children, but not as much is known about its importance for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The current study examined the relationship between autonomy support, self-determination, scholastic competence and social acceptance in ASD. Twenty-six participants with high-functioning ASD completed self-report measures related to autonomy support, friendship, and academics. We found that greater teacher autonomy support was related to higher self-determination in school, and in turn, higher scholastic competence. Self-determination in friendship did not function as a mediator between mother/father autonomy support and social acceptance, but self-determination in friendship was significantly related to social acceptance. This study highlights the importance of fostering self-determination in both the academic and social lives of individuals with ASD. Future studies should examine best practices for incorporating autonomy support into existing scholastic settings and interventions.

Understanding the Interaction of Temperament and Social Skills in the Development of Social Anxiety in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Margaret A. MILLEA in Autism - Open Access, 3-2 (September 2013)

Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Temperament  Anxiety  Social skills  Socialization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) often have comorbid psychopathology in addition to socialcommunication difficulties. Social anxiety is of particular interest because it has been linked to downstream deficits in social functioning. Bellini found a link between social skills, temperament, and the development of social anxiety. The current paper examines whether negative affectivity moderates the relationship between social skills and social anxiety. Twenty-five high-functioning children diagnosed with ASD were administered self and parent report questionnaires measuring pragmatics ability, socialization behaviors, negative affectivity, and social anxiety. High negative affectivity was related to social anxiety, and moderated the relationship between socialization behaviors and social anxiety. Pragmatics ability was not related to social anxiety. Together, these results indicate that negative affectivity is an important factor in the relationship between social skills and social anxiety, and that not all social skills deficits contribute to social anxiety.
