Dimensional Validation of the Italian Revised Version of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ-r) for Children and Adolescents with ASD / Ilenia LE DONNE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 55-12 (December 2025)

Parent reports are the most used method to assess sleep in pediatric populations and a modified 23-item of Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) for ASD has been proposed in the United States. The generalizability of the CSHQ for ASD has yet to be validated across countries, including Italy. To extend the CSHQ applicability to Italian youth with ASD, we back-translated to Italian and revised the 23-item CSHQ, validating its dimensional structure in a sample of children and adolescents with ASD using Explorative Graph Analysis. In addition, we compared the revised scale scores of the ASD group with a typically developing (TD) group. The revised Italian version of the CSHQ (CSHQ-r) consisted of a 15-item tool with a four-dimension structure (Sleep initiation/duration, Sleep anxiety/Co-sleeping, Night awakenings/Parasomnias, and Daytime alertness) with good structural stability. Group comparison indicated significantly higher scores in the ASD group than the TD group, suggesting greater prevalence of sleep disturbances in ASD. The four-dimensional CSHQ-r may represent a useful screening tool to assess sleep disorders in Italian children and adolescents with ASD, with potential implications for clinical practice.

In sync or not in sync? Illusory body ownership in autism spectrum disorder / Silvia GUERRA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 41-42 (September 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 41-42 (September 2017) . - p.1-7 Titre : In sync or not in sync? Illusory body ownership in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Silvia GUERRA, Auteur ; Andrea SPOTO, Auteur ; Valentina PARMA, Auteur ; Elisa STRAULINO, Auteur ; Umberto CASTIELLO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Body ownership  Numbness illusion  Multisensory temporal integration  Tactile sensory processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A fundamental aspect of self-consciousness is body ownership, which refers to the experience that our body and its parts belong to us and it is distinct from those of other persons. Body ownership depends on the integration of different sensory stimulations and it is crucial for the development of functional motor and social abilities, which are compromised in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we examined the multisensory nature of body ownership in individuals with ASD by using a procedure based on tactile conflicts, namely the numbness illusion (NI). Method We induced an illusory feeling of numbness and ownership for another person’s finger by asking participants to hold their palm against another person’s palm and to stroke the two joined index fingers with the index and thumb of their other hand. Results As expected, when the agent self-strokes their finger, healthy participants do not perceive the NI if the stroking is performed asynchronously. Conversely, in individuals with ASD the illusion occurred with both synchronous and asynchronous self-stroking. Conclusions We contend that individuals with ASD are more vulnerable than controls to this illusory tactile experience and we discuss the findings in light of impaired perception of the temporal relationships between tactile and proprioceptive inputs.

Neurobiological Mechanisms of Anxiety in ASD / John D. HERRINGTON  

Public ISBD in Anxiety in Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Connor M. KERNS Titre : Neurobiological Mechanisms of Anxiety in ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John D. HERRINGTON, Auteur ; Valentina PARMA, Auteur ; Judith S. MILLER, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Importance : p.55-77 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Amygdala  prefrontal cortex  social intelligence  heart rate variability  electrodermal activity Index. décimale : PAR-B PAR-B - Anxiété Résumé : Abstract Decades of research on the neurobiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have generally overlooked the importance of co-occurring anxiety. This is surprising, as neurobiological accounts of ASD and anxiety disorders point to highly overlapping systems. This chapter describes the overlap between the neurobiology of anxiety and ASD, with a particular emphasis on amygdala function and structure. As we discuss, the successful integration of diverging patterns of amygdala activity in ASD and anxiety represents one of the biggest advances we could make in understanding their co-occurrence. This chapter also reviews the role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in modulating amygdala function, and how differences in amygdala/PFC connectivity may influence the presentation of anxiety in ASD. Lastly, we review the overlap between anxiety, ASD, and peripheral nervous system function (heart rate, heart rate variability, and electrodermal activity). Key agendas for future research on anxiety in ASD include the validation of new, wireless technology for large-scale investigations of peripheral nervous system function, the increased use of experimental manipulations of anxiety, and an increased reliance on developmental perspectives.

Profiles of Autonomic Activity in Autism Spectrum Disorder with and without Anxiety / Valentina PARMA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-12 (December 2021)

Few studies have systematically assessed the resting physiological activity in ASD with co-occurring anxiety disorders. We tested 75 participants divided in four groups: youth with ASD, with (ASD + Anxiety = 22, 6F, 12.29 ± 2.83 years old) and without co-occurring anxiety (ASD Alone = 15, 6F, 11.59 ± 2.85 years old) and compared their physiological profile with that of matched typically developing controls (TDC) with (Anxiety Alone = 16, 6F, 11.24 ± 3.36 years old) and without co-occurring anxiety disorders (TDC = 22, 8F, 11.88 ± 2.88 years old). Results indicated reduced sympathetic and parasympathetic activity at rest in ASD as compared to TDC youth. ASD + Anxiety and Anxiety Alone groups showed different sympathetic, but similar parasympathetic activity. These findings suggest that autonomic profile-based approaches may advance research, diagnosis, and treatment of ASD and anxiety.
