WICHNICK-GILLIS, Auteur ; Susan M. VENER, Auteur ; Claire L. POULSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Script fading  Interactions  Social skills  Generalization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Autism is a disorder characterized by a severe deficit in social-interaction skills. The script-fading procedure is an effective behavior-analytic strategy for teaching social-interaction skills to people with autism. Within the script-fading literature, however, few researchers have established cues in the natural environment as the discriminative stimuli for social interactions. Method The purpose of this study was to replicate the script-fading procedure used by Brown, Krantz, McClannahan, and Poulson (2008) to teach children with autism to interact with each other, and to assess generalization across untrained stimuli. The three participants, ages 6–9 years, demonstrated deficits in peer-interaction skills. Results During the baseline condition, the participants either did not interact with one another or emitted a variable and unreliable number of interactions. With the introduction of the script-fading procedure, however, interactions increased systematically. Moreover, stimulus generalization data indicated that the script-fading procedure effectively transferred the discriminative control for interacting from the scripts to stimuli in the natural environment. Conclusions These findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the script-fading procedure in teaching children with autism to interact with their peers. In addition, this study showed that establishing cues in the natural environment as discriminative stimuli for social interactions is a successful strategy to teach social-interaction skills to people with autism.

Method A cross-sectional, retrospective case note analysis of recently diagnosed adults, in eight ASD services across Scotland. Results The study found that the existing practice of the participating services was consistent with 14 (maximum number) of the included recommendations in at least half of cases analysed (range 37–70 cases) and was not related to increased total waiting time for diagnosis. Conclusion The results, based only on the included recommendations, suggest that the section 9.2 recommendations can be integrated into clinical practice in Scotland with relative ease and that it is unlikely to have a negative impact on waiting times.

Neural correlates of emotion processing during observed self-face recognition in individuals with autism spectrum disorders / Tomoyo MORITA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 26 (June 2016)

This self-evaluative emotion is related to activity in the right anterior insula and the functional connectivity between the anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortices. Coupling between cognitive evaluation of self-face images and emotional response to them (cognitive–emotional coupling) is weaker in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in parallel with reduced activity of the right insula. To determine whether self-evaluative emotions of individuals with ASD are less strongly impacted by observation, we conducted functional MRI in 14 adult men with ASD and 18 age-matched control men while the participants viewed self-face images. Increased embarrassment upon observation was positively correlated with increased activity in the right anterior insula in the control group, but not in the ASD group. In addition, awareness of being observed enhanced cognitive–emotional coupling in the controls but not in the ASD group. The coupling was correlated with the functional connectivity between the anterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortices. These results suggest that the reduced impact of observation on embarrassment induced by self-face images in individuals with ASD is related to impairment in the right anterior insula, which is involved in creating subjective feelings, and the anterior cingulate cortex, which acts as a hub for integrating information from others during self-face evaluation.

I use my space not yours: Use of gesture space for referential identification among children with autism spectrum disorders / Wing-Chee SO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 26 (June 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 26 (June 2016) . - p.33-47 Titre : I use my space not yours: Use of gesture space for referential identification among children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Wing-Chee SO, Auteur ; Miranda KIT-YI WONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.33-47 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Gesture  Referential identification  Perspective-taking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Speakers move their hands (gesture) when they talk. They indicate non-present referents by gesturing those referents in the same locations as the previous gestures for the same referents (spatially-consistent referent-identifying gestures). We examined whether children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), whose gesture development is slow, produce this kind of gesture in two circumstances: (1) demonstration task in which they had to follow experimenters’ established referents and spatial locations; and (2) spoken narrative task in which they created their own referents and locations. Method School-aged children with ASD and typically-developing children (TD) demonstrated daily-life activities after the experimenter had orally described and gestured the spatial locations of non-present objects involved (demonstration task) and enacted the characters of a story from a picture (spoken narrative task). Results ASD children produced fewer spatially-consistent referent-identifying gestures than TD children in the demonstration task. When not following experimenter’s locations, they established their own gestural locations and kept them consistent. They produced a comparable number of spatially-consistent referent-identifying gestures to their TD counterparts in the spoken narrative task. The ability to produce spatially-consistent referent-identifying gestures was negatively correlated to communication and social interaction skills in the demonstration task in both groups. However, such relationship was not found in the spoken narrative task in ASD children. Conclusion ASD children have the ability to use consistent gestural locations to represent referents, but this ability may be limited when they have to follow others’ perspectives. Communication and social interaction abilities are crucial when taking others’ perspectives.

Serotoninergic transmission has been suggested as an important neuronal pathway in ASD. In this study, we analyzed four polymorphisms (5HTTLPR, rs2066713, STin2, rs1042173; 5? ? 3? end) at the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) in a sample of 209 ASD children and their biological parents. Both single markers and haplotypes were tested for association with ASD diagnosis and with clinical symptoms (aggression, echolalia, seizures, mood instability, psychomotor agitation, repetitive behaviors and sleep disorders) commonly present in ASD patients. The family-based analyses showed a significant result for one haplotype (H4: S-G-12R-T), which did not hold in global analyses. In male patients, a nominal association between the rs1042173 GG genotype and a diminished psychomotor agitation was observed; a trend for an association between the 5HTTLPR LaLa genotype and mood instability was also verified. Through interesting results that are mainly related to clinical manifestations and gender differences, our study adds to knowledge of ASD. Future investigations may corroborate the relevance of our data to upcoming clinical and pharmacological interventions.

In contrast, objective measures of pain have been used to document typical and enhanced expressions of pain in response to noxious stimuli (e.g., blood draw) among children with autism. The purpose of this study was to compare non-biased parental ratings of pain among children with and without ASD. Method As an everyday measure of pain, parents completed The Non-Communicating Children’s Pain Checklist (NCCPC-R) across two time windows (i.e., 2 h and 1 week) for 31 children with ASD and 19 children without ASD. Results There were no significant group differences in everyday expressions of pain between children with and without ASD. However, in general, increased autism symptomology severity was associated with decreased parental ratings of pain expressions. Conclusion These results continue to support a framework where children with ASD may have typical pain sensitivity, however, their expressions of pain may differ based on where individuals lie on the autism spectrum.

Reduced social coordination in Autism Spectrum Disorders / Tiziana ZALLA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 26 (June 2016)

Twenty-one adults with ASD and twenty-one typically developed (TD) control participants were presented with sets of four items, and were asked to choose one of these items under three conditions: picking one’s own personal preferred item, guessing what might be the partner’s preference, and choosing an item in order to coordinate with the partner’s choice. Each set included a salient item that stood out for its distinctive properties, known as the focal point. The results showed that individuals with ASD choose more often their preferred items than the salient cues to coordinate with others and to guess the partner's preference, as compared to TD controls. Performance for coordination was related to clinical scores assessing difficulties in communication and the severity of the autistic traits, but was unrelated to verbal intelligence and verbally mediated Theory-of-Mind task. These findings suggest that self-bias processes in decision-making might be a source of impairment in social coordination and interaction in ASD.

Each set included a salient item that stood out for its distinctive properties, known as the focal point. The results showed that individuals with ASD choose more often their preferred items than the salient cues to coordinate with others and to guess the partner's preference, as compared to TD controls. Performance for coordination was related to clinical scores assessing difficulties in communication and the severity of the autistic traits, but was unrelated to verbal intelligence and verbally mediated Theory-of-Mind task. These findings suggest that self-bias processes in decision-making might be a source of impairment in social coordination and interaction in ASD.

Associations between child behavior problems, family management, and depressive symptoms for mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder / Irang KIM in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 26 (June 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 26 (June 2016) . - p.80-90 Titre : Associations between child behavior problems, family management, and depressive symptoms for mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Irang KIM, Auteur ; Naomi V. EKAS, Auteur ; Robert HOCK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.80-90 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Family management  Depressive symptoms  Behavior problems  Family management style framework Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractPurpose The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationships between child behavior problems and mothers’ depressive symptoms and to determine whether family management mediates this relationship. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey of parents in a southeastern state. Mothers of children with ASD (n = 234) completed self-reported measures of child behavior problems, depressive symptoms, and family management using ad-hoc questions, CES-D-Boston short form, and family management measure (FaMM), respectively. We used a parallel multiple mediator model to address the study hypotheses. Results Children’s behavior problems were significantly associated with mothers’ depressive symptoms and with all five subscales of the FaMM. However, only the Family Life Difficulty subscale was a significant predictor of parent depressive symptoms, suggesting that Family Life Difficulty was the only mediator of the association between child behavior problems and mothers’ depressive symptoms. After accounting for the mediators, the direct effect of child behavior problems on parent depressive symptoms was non-significant. Conclusion As the severity of child behavior problems increased, mothers of children with ASD perceived a greater impact of ASD on their family life, which in turn increased the levels of the mothers’ depressive symptoms. Family Life Difficulty assesses parent perceptions of the extent to which their child with ASD influences family relationships and routines, suggesting a need for family-centered services that assist the family in maintaining or adapting to their routines.

BENNINGA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.91-98 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Functional defecation disorder  Constipation  Nonretentive fecal incontinence  Autism spectrum disorder  Toilet training Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the presence of symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the time of completion of toilet training in pediatric patients with a Functional Defecation Disorder (FDD). Consecutive children (4–12 yrs) presenting with FDD according to the ROME III criteria were screened for symptoms of ASD by two validated questionnaires; the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and the Social Communication Questionnaire-Lifetime (SCQ-L). Children were defined as having symptoms of ASD when they scored at or above the cut-off value on one or two questionnaires (SRS ? 51; SCQ ? 15). This study included 96 age-matched controls from the general population and 242 pediatric patients with FDD of which 70 had symptoms of ASD. Significantly less children with FDD and ASD symptoms were toilet trained for stools and urine during daytime before the age of 4 yrs (41% and 58% respectively) than children with FDD only (56% and 72%), whereas almost all controls had completed toilet training daytime before this age (95% and 98%). Children with FDD and ASD symptoms completed toilet training both for stools and urine during daytime at a significantly later age than children with FDD only and controls.

Conversational topic moderates social attention in autism spectrum disorder: Talking about emotions is like driving in a snowstorm / Tiffany L. HUTCHINS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 26 (June 2016)

BRIEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.99-110 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Social cognition  Face processing  Conversation  Executive function  Visual attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We compared the visual attention of typically developing (TD) children and age-matched children with ASD in two conversational contexts. Compared to the TD group, the ASD group had significantly fewer fixations to eyes and increased fixation time to mouths during a conversation about ‘how people feel’ but not about ‘what people do’. This shift away from eyes and towards the mouth in ASD was associated with higher autism severity, more limited executive function (EF), and poorer verbal and intellectual ability. One particularly striking result was that eye-fixation and mouth-time data correlated with different EF subdomains. We argue that talk about emotions strains EF which may contribute to atypical visual attention to faces and that eye-fixation and mouth-time data may be under the control of different facets of EF.
