Brief Report: Atypical Social Cognition and Social Behaviours in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Different Way of Processing Rather than an Impairment / Kate O’CONNOR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-10 (November 2008)

This review discusses problems with the “social deficit” model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is suggested that superior attention to low-level perceptual information potentially coupled with decreased attention to global information may provide a more comprehensive explanation for atypical social behaviours in ASD. This processing style may reflect increased activation of occipital-temporal regions and reduced functional (and possibly anatomical) connectivity. It is concluded that atypical social behaviours in ASD are more likely to be a consequence reflective of a general processing difference than impairment in social cognition and/or motivation.

Brief Report: Impaired Identification of Discrepancies Between Expressive Faces and Voices in Adults with Asperger’s Syndrome / Kate O’CONNOR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 37-10 (November 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 37-10 (November 2007) . - p.2008-2013 Titre : Brief Report: Impaired Identification of Discrepancies Between Expressive Faces and Voices in Adults with Asperger’s Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kate O’CONNOR, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.2008-2013 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger’s-syndrome Sensory-integration Expression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of the present experiment was to examine the ability of adults with Asperger’s syndrome and age-matched typically-developing controls to identify incongruent and congruent emotional information from the face and voice. In the first part of the experiment, participants determined whether simultaneously presented expressive faces and voices were the same or different. In the second part, participants identified expressive faces and voices in isolation. Results showed that relative to controls, adults with AS were less accurate at distinguishing between congruent and incongruent expressive faces and voices. Both groups obtained similar accuracy to expressive faces and voices presented in isolation. These findings may partially explain some of the difficulties individuals on the autistic spectrum have with social interaction.
