Broad Autism Phenotypic Traits and the Relationship to Sexual Orientation and Sexual Behavior / Lydia R. QUALLS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-12 (December 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-12 (December 2018) . - p.3974-3983 Titre : Broad Autism Phenotypic Traits and the Relationship to Sexual Orientation and Sexual Behavior Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lydia R. QUALLS, Auteur ; Kathrin HARTMANN, Auteur ; James F. PAULSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3974-3983 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Broad autism phenotype  Same-sex attraction  Sexual behavior  Sexual orientation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with higher levels of the broad autism phenotype (BAP) have some symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Like individuals with ASD, people with higher-BAP may have fewer sexual experiences and may experience more same-sex attraction. This study measured BAP traits, sexual experiences, and sexual orientation in typically developing (TD) individuals to see if patterns of sexual behavior and sexual orientation in higher-BAP resemble those in ASD. Although BAP characteristics did not predict sexual experiences, one BAP measure significantly predicted sexual orientation, beta = 0.22, t = 2.72, p = .007, controlling for demographic variables (R(2) change = .04, F = 7.41, p = .007), showing individuals with higher-BAP also reported increased same-sex attraction. This finding supports the hypothesis that individuals with higher-BAP resemble ASD individuals in being more likely than TD individuals to experience same-sex attraction.

Examining the relationship between face processing and social interaction behavior in children with and without autism spectrum disorder / Blythe A. CORBETT in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 6-1 (December 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 6-1 (December 2014) . - p.35 Titre : Examining the relationship between face processing and social interaction behavior in children with and without autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Blythe A. CORBETT, Auteur ; Cassandra R. NEWSOM, Auteur ; Alexandra P. KEY, Auteur ; Lydia R. QUALLS, Auteur ; E. Kale EDMISTON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.35 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Ecological validity  Face memory  Neuropsychology  Play Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show impairment in reciprocal social communication, which includes deficits in social cognition and behavior. Since social cognition and social behavior are considered to be interdependent, it is valuable to examine social processes on multiple levels of analysis. Neuropsychological measures of face processing often reveal deficits in social cognition in ASD including the ability to identify and remember facial information. However, the extent to which neuropsychological measures are associated with or predictive of real-world social behavior is unclear. METHODS: The study investigated 66 children (ASD 34, typically developing (TD) 32) using neuropsychological measures of face processing (identity, affect, and memory). Children also participated in a peer interaction paradigm, which allowed observation and coding of natural social interaction behaviors during play with peers (e.g., Self-Play, Cooperative Play, Verbal Bout). ANCOVA, regression, and correlation models analyzed between-group differences, the ability of neuropsychological measures to predict social behavior, and the strength of the associations. RESULTS: Between-group differences were shown on Memory for Faces Delayed and the peer interaction variables Self-Play and Verbal Bout. Regression models indicated that Memory for Faces Delayed predicted the amount of Self-Play, Equipment use alone, and Cooperative Play with peers on the playground. Autism symptomology only predicted verbal exchange with peers. CONCLUSIONS: Face memory strongly predicts relevant social engagement patterns in both children with and without ASD. Impairment in facial memory is associated with reduced 'real-world' social interaction and more self-play, whereas higher performance in face memory predicts more cooperative play. Results highlight the strong connection between face memory and reciprocal social interaction, suggesting that improvement in one may benefit the other.

Examining the relationship between social communication on the ADOS and real-world reciprocal social communication in children with ASD / Lydia R. QUALLS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 33 (January 2017)

QUALLS, Auteur ; Blythe A. CORBETT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  ADOS  Social communication  Play  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : While many children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) communicate better with adults than peers, diagnostic measures are given by adult examiners. These measures may not accurately capture the deficits that children with ASD have in communicating with their peers. This study examined the ability of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) Social Communication scale to predict reciprocal communication in children with ASD during natural play with peers using the Peer Interaction Paradigm (PIP). Thirty participants with ASD were given the ADOS and then participated in the PIP, after which their behavior was analyzed. Results Using linear regression, we found that Social Communication was the primary significant predictor for reciprocal communication during play, and that reciprocal communication was not predicted by Verbal IQ or the Restrictive and Repetitive Behaviors scale on the ADOS. The findings suggest that the ADOS measures naturally-occurring social communication patterns with peers and can be used to inform treatment options for children with ASD based on an accurate measure of their level of impairment in social communication.

Thirty 8-to-14 year-olds with ASD were randomly assigned to the treatment (n = 17) or a wait-list control (n = 13) group. Immediately after treatment, group effects were seen on social ability, (d = .77), communication symptoms (d = −.86), group play with toys in the company of peers (d = .77), immediate memory of faces as measured by neuropsychological (d = .75) and ERP methods (d = .93), delayed memory for faces (d = .98), and theory of mind (d = .99). At the 2 month follow-up period, group effects were detected on communication symptoms (d = .82). The results of this pilot clinical trial provide initial support for the efficacy of the theatre-based intervention.

The purpose of this study was to compare reports from young adults with ASD and parents from the same families on the young adult's sexual behavior, experiences, knowledge, and communication. 100 young adults (18-30 years) and parents completed an online survey. Results indicated that young adults reported more typical privacy and sexual behaviors, and higher sexual victimization than their parents reported on their behalf. Our findings indicated that individuals with ASD desire and pursue sexual relationships typical of most people and suggest the need for sex education and communication about topics generally covered for neurotypically developing young adults.
