Do Individuals with High-Functioning Autism Who Speak a Tone Language Show Intonation Deficits? / Kary K. L. CHAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-5 (May 2016)

This study also investigated the use of sentence-final particles (SFPs) and their relationship with intonation in both groups. Standard deviations (SDs) of the fundamental frequency (F0), the total number and the type of SFPs were calculated based on narrative samples. The HFA group demonstrated significantly higher SD of F0 and a positive correlation between the type of SFPs and SD of F0. Both groups produced a similar total number and type of SFPs. The results supported the universality of atypical intonation in ASD. The relationship between intonation and SFPs could be further explored by focusing on sentences containing SFPs.

Examining parental stress factors in Hong Kong Chinese parents of autistic and neurodevelopmentally atypical children / Xin QI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 119 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 119 (January 2025) . - p.102512 Titre : Examining parental stress factors in Hong Kong Chinese parents of autistic and neurodevelopmentally atypical children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Xin QI, Auteur ; Carol K. S. TO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102512 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Broad autism phenotype  Chinese  Coping  Neurodevelopmental disorders  Parental stress  Psychological flexibility  Social support Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Parenting an autistic child can be physically and mentally challenging. The approach parents take in response to these challenges can vary and may be related to the level of stress they experience. Aims This study compared the stress levels among Hong Kong Chinese parents of autistic children, typically developing (TD) children, and those with other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and their relationship with associated parental and child?s factors. Methods In this cross-sectional online survey, 314 Chinese parents completed self-reported questionnaires assessing parental stress, child's autism and other NDDs diagnosis, broad autism phenotype (BAP), coping strategies, social support, and parental psychological flexibility (PPF). Hierarchical multiple regression was used to analyze the contribution of these factors to parental stress, and mediation analyses examined how social support and PPF might mediate the relationship between: (1) an autism diagnosis and parental stress, and (2) BAP and parental stress. Results Parents of autistic children reported significantly higher stress levels than other parents. The presence of a child?s autism and other NDDs, along with greater BAP traits, significantly contributed to higher parental stress. Social support and PPF were strong protective factors that mediated the relationship between having an autistic child, exhibiting BAP traits, and parental stress. Conclusions Management for parents of autistic children should focus on promoting social support networks and fostering psychological flexibility to alleviate caregiving burden, especially for those exhibiting greater BAP traits.

Persuasion in Chinese School-Age Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorders / Carol K. S. TO in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 31-3 (September 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 31-3 (September 2016) . - p.231-240 Titre : Persuasion in Chinese School-Age Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Carol K.

LAM, Auteur ; Lai-Sang IAO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.231-240 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : persuasion  autism spectrum disorders  Chinese  Cantonese  theory of mind  perspective-taking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A large body of work has been done on the deficient conversation skills in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), yet little is known about their performance in other discourse types such as persuasion. The study investigated the persuasion skills in Chinese children with high-functioning ASD. Ten school-age Chinese children with ASD were gender, age, and language matched with 10 typically developing (TD) peers. Persuasion was evaluated via a role-play and a direct temptation task in terms of the participants’ persistence and the persuasive strategies used. Results showed no difference in persistence between the two groups. The TD group performed significantly better in their persuasive strategies used. A significant main effect of task was observed where children in both groups performed better in the role-play than the direct temptation task. The present findings provide an account of why children with high-functioning ASD often experience unsuccessful persuasion outcomes in real-life situations.
