Titre : Brief Report: Visual Acuity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Matthew A. ALBRECHT, Auteur ; Geoffrey W. STUART, Auteur ; Marita FALKMER, Auteur ; Anna ORDQVIST, Auteur ; Denise LEUNG, Auteur ; Jonathan K. FOSTER, Auteur ; Torbjörn FALKMER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2369-2374 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger syndrome Case control study ETDRS High functioning autism Perception Vision Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recently, there has been heightened interest in suggestions of enhanced visual acuity in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) which was sparked by evidence that was later accepted to be methodologically flawed. However, a recent study that claimed children with ASD have enhanced visual acuity (Brosnan et al. in J Autism Dev Disord 42:2491–2497, 2012) repeated a critical methodological flaw by using an inappropriate viewing distance for a computerised acuity test, placing the findings in doubt. We examined visual acuity in 31 children with ASD and 33 controls using the 2 m 2000 Series Revised Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart placed at twice the conventional distance to better evaluate possible enhanced acuity. Children with ASD did not demonstrate superior acuity. The current findings strengthen the argument that reports of enhanced acuity in ASD are due to methodological flaws and challenges the reported association between visual acuity and systemising type behaviours.

Titre : Co-occurring intellectual disability and autism: Associations with stress, coping, time use, and quality of life in caregivers Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sharmila VAZ, Auteur ; Allyson THOMSON, Auteur ; Belinda CUOMO, Auteur ; Torbjörn FALKMER, Auteur ; Angela CHAMBERLAIN, Auteur ; Melissa H. BLACK, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101765 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Child Disability Family Routine Intellectual disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Having a child on the autism spectrum (AS) is known to impact caregiver quality of life (QoL), time use, and stress. A co-occurring diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID) is common among children on the autism spectrum, with ID itself impacting caregiver outcomes. Method This study sought to understand how co-occurring ID in children on the autism spectrum may influence caregiver-related outcomes. Secondary analysis of survey data from caregivers of 278 children on the autism spectrum with (n?=?62) and without (n?=?216) co-occurring ID was conducted, exploring impacts on caregiver QoL, stress, coping, and time-use. Results Univariate analysis showed that caregivers of children on the autism spectrum with co-occurring ID reported greater levels of stress due to core symptoms and co-occurring physical conditions, and had different time use patterns then caregivers of children on the autism spectrum without co-occurring ID. Multivariate analysis, however, showed that caregivers of children on the autism spectrum with and without co-occurring ID differed only in the time they spent preparing meals, socialising with friends and accessing in-home respite care. Conclusions The presence of co-occurring ID in children on the autism spectrum had limited impacts on caregiver-related outcomes. Families of children across the entire AS require adequate supports.

BLACK, Auteur ; Sharmila VAZ, Auteur ; Richard PARSONS, Auteur ; Torbjörn FALKMER, Auteur ; Julia S. Y. TANG, Auteur ; Susan MORRIS, Auteur ; Hoe LEE, Auteur ; Marita FALKMER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101417 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eye tracking Local bias Weak central coherence Enhanced perceptual functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Atypical visual perception in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) may contribute to superiority in disembedding tasks. Gaze behavior has provided some insights in to mechanisms underlying this purported superiority in children, however evidence is limited and requires additional investigation. Method The performance and gaze behavior of 27 adolescents with ASD and 27 matched typically developing (TD) peers were examined during the Figure Ground Subtest of the Test of Visual Perception Skills-third edition (TVPS-3). Results Compared to their TD counterparts, adolescents with ASD were no different in accuracy, however, had a longer response time. Differences in gaze behavior were also observed, characterized by adolescents with ASD spending less time viewing the incorrect and target figures, and spending a greater proportion of time viewing irrelevant areas of the stimuli compared to TD adolescents. Conclusions Results suggest that while altered visual perception was observed, this did not contribute to superiority in disembedding tasks in adolescents with ASD. Future research is required to elucidate conditions under which altered visual perception may contribute to behavioral superiority.

Titre : Driving Behaviour Profile of Drivers with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Derserri Y. CHEE, Auteur ; Hoe LEE, Auteur ; Ann-Helen PATOMELLA, Auteur ; Torbjörn FALKMER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2658-2670 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger’s syndrome High-functioning autism Michon model Naturalistic P-Drive Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The symptomatology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can make driving risky, but little is known about the on-road driving behaviour of individuals with ASD. This study assessed and compared the on-road driving performance of drivers with and without ASD, and explored how the symptomatology of ASD hinders or facilitates on-road driving performance. Sixteen drivers with ASD and 21 typically-developed drivers participated in the study. Drivers with ASD underperformed in vehicle manoeuvring, especially at left-turns, right-turns and pedestrian crossings. However, drivers with ASD outperformed the TD group in aspects related to rule-following such as using the indicator at roundabouts and checking for cross-traffic when approaching intersections. Drivers with ASD in the current study presented with a range of capabilities and weaknesses during driving.

Titre : Effect of Visual Information on Postural Control in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yi Huey LIM, Auteur ; Hoe LEE, Auteur ; Torbjörn FALKMER, Auteur ; Garry T. ALLISON, Auteur ; Tele TAN, Auteur ; Wee Lih LEE, Auteur ; Susan L. MORRIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3320-3325 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention Autistic disorder Postural balance Sensorimotor Sensory information Visual processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Visual information is crucial for postural control. Visual processing in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was hypothesized to be less efficient and thus they would display a less stable standing posture than typically developing children. The present study compared the static standing responses and attentional demands of 15 children with ASD and 18 control participants in conditions of eyes open and eyes closed. The results showed that postural responses and attention invested in standing were similar between the participant groups in the two visual conditions. Both groups displayed a more stable posture when their eyes were open in comparison to eyes closed. The finding suggests that normal postural control development could occur in children with ASD.
