Predictors of daily physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration in children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) / Maninderjit KAUR in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 115 (July 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 115 (July 2024) . - p.102398 Titre : Predictors of daily physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration in children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Maninderjit KAUR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102398 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder  Physical activity  Sleep  Screen time Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background There is evidence for reduced physical activity, increased screen time, and poor sleep quality in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, a comprehensive investigation of the factors predicting these daily behaviors in children and adolescents with ASD is relatively unexplored. Methods The current study conducted a secondary analysis of a 2021 national survey completed by parents with or without a child with ASD. Factors specific to the child (e.g., age, sex, race), family (e.g., parent education, employment), and neighborhood (e.g., geographic location, neighborhood amenities) predicting daily health behaviors of children were analyzed. Results Specifically for the ASD population, several child-specific variables predicted one or more of the daily health behaviors in children with ASD such as age, sex, participation, and ASD severity. In contrast, none of the family and neighborhood variables (except geographic location) predicted the health behaviors of children with ASD. Conclusions Recommendations for planning and implementation of health wellness and promotion programs targeted towards promoting physical activity and reducing screen time in children with ASD are discussed.

However, the literature on the associated phenotypes to specific copy number variants of these genes is still scarce. Therefore, limiting clinicians' and researchers' understanding of the impact of these CNVs makes genetic counselling regarding recurrence risks more challenging. In this study, we report on five patients with rare CNVs involving the CNTN4 gene and the associated clinical and neurobehavioral phenotype. Overall, the patients exhibited stereotypic motor symptoms, including finger and hand mannerisms (4/5), and repetitive use of objects (4/5), as well as sensory symptoms, including unusual sensory interests or hypersensitivity (4/5). One child of the cohort had epilepsy, and (4/5) had Intellectual Disability. All cases fulfilled DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, larger cohorts are needed for unbiased characterization of the phenotypic features associated with the genetic variations in CNTN4.

The role of emotional factors in face processing abilities in autism spectrum conditions / Hannah HOBSON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 115 (July 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 115 (July 2024) . - p.102400 Titre : The role of emotional factors in face processing abilities in autism spectrum conditions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hannah HOBSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102400 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Facial emotion recognition is considered atypical in individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC), but emotion recognition abilities vary widely in autistic people, and there are inconsistent findings on the causes of these differences. Research indicates alexithymia may result in facial emotion recognition differences in ASC. Alternatively, mood disorders have been linked to atypical facial emotional expression recognition abilities in neurotypical adults. Investigating both the effects of alexithymia and mood disorders (depression and anxiety) is necessary to establish which of these factors may cause atypical facial emotion recognition in ASC. This study aimed to examine whether alexithymia or mood disorder symptomology is a predictor of atypical facial emotion recognition in individuals with ASC. Ninety-eight non-autistic adults and 80 autistic adults were recruited. Participants completed an online facial processing task to examine emotion and identity recognition abilities, the AQ-28, the TAS-20, and the HADS to measure autism severity, alexithymia symptoms, and depression and anxiety symptoms. Regression-based analyses found that autistic traits and autistic group membership did not predict facial emotion processing abilities after accounting for demographic variables, alexithymia and mood disorders: however, neither alexithymia nor mood disorder symptoms predicted variance in face processing abilities either. Our results concur with previous meta-analyses of facial emotion processing in autism spectrum disorder which report that studies do not always report deficits in face processing in autism: our findings are also not supportive of the model that argues that alexithymia explains facial emotion processing difficulties in autism.

However, the correlates of quality of life in this population are not well known. The purpose of this project was to investigate the extent to which employment, depression, anxiety, and social participation were associated with quality of life in autistic individuals. We also explored potential associations between emotion dysregulation and quality of life. Method Baseline data from two randomized control trials were used for analysis. A total of 125 autistic adolescents and adults aged 16-45 (M = 25.40) participated. Linear regression models were constructed to investigate whether employment, depression, anxiety, and social participation were associated with five domains of quality of life: overall, physical health, psychological, social relationships, and environment. Additional linear regression models explored whether emotion dysregulation was associated with the same quality of life domains. Results Surprisingly, employment was not significantly associated with any quality of life domain. Greater depression severity was significantly associated with poorer quality of life across all domains. Greater social participation was associated with better quality of life, but only for individuals with lower anxiety. More severe dysphoria was associated with poorer overall quality of life and the psychological and physical health domains. Conclusions Results suggest that mental health and emotion dysregulation are important predictors of quality of life for autistic people. They also suggest that anxiety symptoms may attenuate the beneficial effects of social participation. This study provides insight into the unique experiences of autistic individuals and highlights potential unmet need.

Despite the increase in drill practice and consistent prevalence of school shootings, little information exists to deem current practice effective, and little guidance exists to guide educators' preparation efforts. As it stands, schools are planning and executing lockdown drills with variability with little to no planning dedicated to diverse learners such as young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). At the same time, a vast research base that supports evidence-based practices for learners with a diagnosis of ASD exists, yet these known supports are not being utilized to prepare them for these life-threatening emergencies. This article summarizes the current guidance and research surrounding lockdown drills and evidence-based practices used to teach children with ASD similar skills that could be applied to teach lockdown drills.

An imbalanced oxidative stress status and neuroinflammation are involved in ASD development. In this study, we investigated the effects of pyridoxine, a form of vitamin B6 with potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory features, on autism-like behavior in BTBR T + ltpr3tf/J (BTBR) mice, a model of autism. Mice received pyridoxine from postnatal days 7 to 14. Behavioral tests were conducted on 8-week-old male mice, and the inflammatory status and oxidative stress levels were also assessed in the mouse hippocampus. Postnatal pyridoxine treatment significantly improved social deficits, stereotyped behaviors, and cognitive deficits in BTBR mice. In addition, pyridoxine treatment alleviated neuroinflammation in the hippocampus manifested by reduced Iba1+ microglia and inflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1? (IL-1?), IL-6, TNF-?, and NF-?B. Further, pyridoxine-treated BTBR mice had elevated Nrf2 and HO-1 in the hippocampus. Postnatal pyridoxine administration might improve autistic-like behaviors in BTBR mice via attenuating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus.

Mice received pyridoxine from postnatal days 7 to 14. Behavioral tests were conducted on 8-week-old male mice, and the inflammatory status and oxidative stress levels were also assessed in the mouse hippocampus. Postnatal pyridoxine treatment significantly improved social deficits, stereotyped behaviors, and cognitive deficits in BTBR mice. In addition, pyridoxine treatment alleviated neuroinflammation in the hippocampus manifested by reduced Iba1+ microglia and inflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1? (IL-1?), IL-6, TNF-?, and NF-?B. Further, pyridoxine-treated BTBR mice had elevated Nrf2 and HO-1 in the hippocampus. Postnatal pyridoxine administration might improve autistic-like behaviors in BTBR mice via attenuating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus.

The aim of the present study was to compare urine excretion of sulfated glycosaminoglycans in children with autism spectrum disorder, with neurotypical controls and explore its association with co-occurring symptoms. Method Random urine samples were collected from children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 61) between the ages of 2 and 6 years, and age- and sex-matched neurotypical controls. Urine glycosaminoglycan levels were quantified by the dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) dye-binding assay. Results Mean glycosaminoglycan/creatinine ratio of children with autism spectrum disorder was 22.279 + 13.044 mg/mmol while that of neurotypical controls was 19.121 + 7.319 mg/mmol. Eight patients with autism spectrum disorder (13.11%) exhibited abnormally high glycosaminoglycan excretion. Unstandardized urine glycosaminoglycan levels are significantly higher (p = 0.019) in the autism spectrum disorder group when covariates such as age, urinary creatinine, and height are taken into consideration by ANCOVA. However, the outcome showed a trend towards significance when glycosaminoglycan/creatinine ratio was used in ANCOVA (p = 0.058). In neurotypical subjects, the urine glycosaminoglycan levels appear to decline with age, height, and weight while this trend was not apparent in subjects with autism spectrum disorder. Glycosaminoglycan excretion did not correlate with the presence of co-occurring symptoms of autism spectrum disorder; frequent gastrointestinal symptoms, self-injurious behaviors, food aversions, or parent-reported sleep problems. Conclusions A subset of children with autism spectrum disorder exhibits higher urine glycosaminoglycan excretion. Further research is needed to explore the molecular basis of this finding.

However, few studies explored the inter links between autistic traits, alexithymia, sleep disturbance and aggression. Using network analysis, current study explores relationships between these symptoms within a general population sample. Method Seven hundred and sixty-one (age 18-30, 351 male, 410 female) participants were recruited through an online platform. Network analysis was used to clarify relationship between these symptoms, and network comparison was conducted to determine whether network pattern differed between male and female. Results Discernible patterns linking autistic traits to alexithymia, sleep disturbance and aggression. These patterns exhibited a satisfactory level of stability and consistency when tested and retested. Among the nodes examined, the node with the highest centrality and expected influence in the network is aggression. Network constructed using male and female data show different patterns of structure and strength. Conclusion Understanding the association between autism traits and other behavioral and emotional issues, as well as the possible role of gender, can help optimize targeted interventions and improve the quality of life of individuals with autism.

Two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, eye-tracking methodology was used to compare 26 participants with high autistic traits to 26 individuals with low autistic traits. The latency of the first fixation on images of angry faces, neutral faces, and objects during a free viewing task was measured. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Self-rating Anxiety Scale. Experiment 2 utilized an overlap task to examine attentional response patterns toward angry faces in individuals with high and low autistic traits. The findings revealed that participants with high autistic traits displayed a longer latency to first fixation on angry faces during the free-viewing task compared to those with low autistic traits. However, no significant differences were observed for neutral faces and objects. In the overlap task, the group with high autistic traits demonstrated a significantly prolonged latency to first fixation on angry faces in peripheral positions when the central stimulus was a neutral face and the peripheral stimulus was an angry face, relative to the group with low autistic traits. Importantly, when taking anxiety traits into account as a covariate in both experiments, the previously observed group effects no longer remained significant. These results were discussed within the frameworks of social motivation theory and the autism continuum hypothesis.

Less frequent face looking in infancy is related to autism likelihood status but not diagnosis: A study of parent-infant interaction / Sven BÖLTE ; Terje FALCK-YTTER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 115 (July 2024)

The aim of the current study was to assess 10-month-olds' gaze to faces in a more naturalistic context - during free play with a parent - in relation to later autism diagnosis. Method Parents were asked to play with their infant 'as they usually would' with a set of toys on the floor. During the first 5 min of play, infant gaze to parent?s face was video coded. Results Infants at elevated likelihood of autism (N = 18 with later diagnosis; 46 without later diagnosis), regardless of later diagnostic status, produced fewer gaze shifts towards their parents' faces than infants at low likelihood of autism (N = 18). Infants in all groups spent only ?3 % of their time looking at parents' faces, and there was no group difference in terms of the proportion of time spent looking at faces. There was neither a correlation between infant face looking and scores on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2, nor between infant face looking and autistic traits in the parent. Conclusions During toy play, all infants - irrespective of later diagnosis - spent very little time looking at parents' faces. Infants at elevated likelihood of autism made fewer gazes to their parents' faces than neurotypically developing infants, which could potentially affect opportunities for social learning. The effect was not specifically linked to later autism diagnosis.

Methods We investigated the impact of having an autistic child on the wellbeing of 103 parents in Pakistan. Data were collected using the Self-Reported Questionnaire (SRQ-20), Autism Parenting Stress Index (APSI) and the WHO?s Quality of Life Brief Version. Results Parents reported reduced psychological health and worsened social relationships in comparison with population norms. The mean prevalence of APSI responses indicating frequent stress was 78 % overall; 91 % around core autism behaviours, 77 % around comorbid behaviours and 65 % around comorbid physical problems. SRQ-20 scores suggested that there were moderate mental distress levels in parents of children with ASD; 60 % of participants scored ? 8 indicating probable mental disorder. Parenting stress, including stress specific to comorbid behaviours, was modestly associated with (total) levels of (general) mental distress and with poorer physical and psychological health. Mothers reported significantly poorer psychological health and greater levels of mental distress than fathers, while quality of life markers concerning social relationships and environmental health were higher in parents of younger children with ASD. Conclusions Parents of children with ASD experience significant ASD-specific parental stress, psychological distress and decreased quality of life and wellbeing. These parents frequently present with reduced energy levels and depressive symptoms. This data provide a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by parents of children with ASD in Pakistan and provides a framework to guide further research and clinical practice.
