Alexithymic and autistic traits: Relevance for comorbid depression and social phobia in adults with and without autism spectrum disorder / Laura ALBANTAKIS in Autism, 24-8 (November 2020)

The reasons for this are still unclear. Many studies found that alexithymia plays an important role in mental health problems like depression. People with alexithymia have difficulties identifying and describing their emotions. Almost every second person with autism has alexithymia. Therefore, we explored in this study whether alexithymia is linked to worse mental health in autistic people. We looked at two common diagnoses, depression and social phobia. We found that alexithymia increased symptoms of depression, while autistic traits increased symptoms of social phobia. Our results suggest that alexithymia and autistic traits can increase the risk of mental health problems. An early assessment could help prevent mental health problems and improve quality of life.

Effects of Observing Eye Contact on Gaze Following in High-Functioning Autism / Anne BÖCKLER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44-7 (July 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 44-7 (July 2014) . - p.1651-1658 Titre : Effects of Observing Eye Contact on Gaze Following in High-Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne BÖCKLER, Auteur ; Bert TIMMERMANS, Auteur ; Natalie SEBANZ, Auteur ; Kai VOGELEY, Auteur ; Leonhard SCHILBACH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1651-1658 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Gaze following  Joint attention  Social cognition  High-functioning autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Observing eye contact between others enhances the tendency to subsequently follow their gaze and has been suggested to function as a social signal that adds meaning to an upcoming action or event. The present study investigated effects of observed eye contact in high-functioning autism (HFA). Two faces on a screen either looked at or away from each other before providing congruent or incongruent gaze cues to one of two target locations. In contrast to control participants, HFA participants did not depict enhanced gaze following after observing eye contact. Individuals with autism, hence, do not seem to process observed mutual gaze as a social signal indicating the relevance of upcoming (gaze) behaviour. This may be based on the reduced tendency of individuals with HFA to engage in social gaze behavior themselves, and might underlie some of the characteristic deficiencies in social communicative behaviour in autism.
