KIRK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.76-86 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic spectrum disorders  Corpus callosum  Interhemispheric time transfer  Event-related potentials  Poffenberger  Electroencephalography Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground The Poffenberger task is a useful paradigm that measures the interhemispheric transfer time (IHTT) across the corpus callosum. Past research has demonstrated that the right to left transfer is faster in typically developing individuals compared to a left to right transfer. Numerous studies have found that the corpus callosum is structurally smaller and atypical in individuals with Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) but whether this is associated with changes in interhemispheric time transfer in adult individuals with ASD is relatively unknown. Method The current study used a Poffenberger paradigm in combination with electroencephalography (EEG) to measure IHTT between individuals with ASD and typically developing controls. The IHTT in each direction was estimated by comparing the latencies of P100 and N170 components in hemispheres contralateral and ipsilateral to lateralised visual stimulation. Results Both groups demonstrated faster right to left transfer of information compared to the left to right transmission. Individuals with ASD exhibited faster IHTT latencies overall for the P100 and N170 components compared to matched typically developing controls. More importantly, these results demonstrate that the ASD group exhibited faster transfer in both directions compared to matched typically developing controls. Conclusion These findings suggest hyper-connectivity of local networks in parietal and occipital regions of the corpus callosum in ASD and may have implications in how information is integrated between hemispheres in ASD.

A qualitative study of noise sensitivity in adults with autism spectrum disorder / Jason LANDON in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 32 (December 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 32 (December 2016) . - p.43-52 Titre : A qualitative study of noise sensitivity in adults with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jason LANDON, Auteur ; Daniel SHEPHERD, Auteur ; Veema LODHIA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.43-52 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Noise sensitivity  Adults  Auditory processing  Qualitative Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may respond to environmental stimuli more intensely and less conventionally than typical peers. Research has generally focused on sensory sensitivity broadly, rather than individual modalities. Thus, experiences of noise sensitivity (NS) have not been specifically documented in detail. This study documents the experiences of NS in adults with ASD. Method Semi-structured interviews were undertaken and recorded with 10 participants. The resultant data were analysed using a descriptive thematic approach to summarise the patterns in the participants’ experiences. Results The analysis identified four themes emphasising the unique way those with ASD experience sound, and the impacts of noise sensitivity on them. Conclusions Documenting experiences such as these is an important early step towards a better understanding and hence supporting those negatively experiencing sound. The present results are both useful for those affected and those working with them, in terms of developing improved methods of coping and clinical interventions. The results are also consistent with recent neurophysiological research.
