Motor competency and social communication skills in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder / Francesco CRAIG in Autism Research, 11-6 (June 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-6 (June 2018) . - p.893-902 Titre : Motor competency and social communication skills in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Francesco CRAIG, Auteur ; Alessandro LORENZO, Auteur ; Elisabetta LUCARELLI, Auteur ; Luigi RUSSO, Auteur ; Isabella FANIZZA, Auteur ; Antonio TRABACCA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.893-902 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Acsf:Sc  intellectual disabilities  motor skills  social cognition  social communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to investigate the association between motor competency and social communication in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) compared with children with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) and typically developing (TD) children. Motor competency, ASD symptoms, and nonverbal Intelligent Quotient (IQ) were investigated through the following tests: Movement Assessment Battery for Children, second edition (MABC-2), Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), Autism Classification System of Functioning: Social Communication (ACSF:SC) and Leiter International Performances Scale Revised (Leiter-R). The ASD + ID and ID groups had lower MABC-2-manual dexterity mean scores, MABC-2-aiming and catching mean scores, MABC-2-static and dynamic balance mean scores and MABC-2-TTS compared with the TD group (P < 0.05). In addition, the ASD + ID group had lower MABC-2-aiming and catching mean scores compared with the ID group. In the ASD + ID group, we found a significant negative correlation (P < 0.001) between MABC-2-aiming and catching scores with SCQ scores, nonverbal IQ and ACSF:SC levels. Our findings provide new insight into the common neuropsychological mechanisms underlying social communication and motor deficits in ASD. Multiple deficits in motor functioning may be present in ASD and ID, however deficits involving the ability to integrate motor and social cues are somewhat specific to ASD. Autism Res 2018, 11: 893-902. (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: This study highlighted the specificity of motor impairment in ASD comparing performances on a frequently used measure of motor impairment between clinical groups (ASD + ID and ID) and a non-clinical group. While previous research has suggested that multiple deficits in motor functioning may be present in ASD, our findings suggest that deficits in tasks involving the ability to integrate visual and motor cues (aiming and catching task) are somewhat specific to ASD.

Social communication in children with autism spectrum disorder (asd): Correlation between DSM-5 and autism classification system of functioning—social communication (ACSF:SC) / Francesco CRAIG in Autism Research, 10-7 (July 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-7 (July 2017) . - p.1249-1258 Titre : Social communication in children with autism spectrum disorder (asd): Correlation between DSM-5 and autism classification system of functioning—social communication (ACSF:SC) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Francesco CRAIG, Auteur ; Isabella FANIZZA, Auteur ; Luigi RUSSO, Auteur ; Elisabetta LUCARELLI, Auteur ; Lorenzo ALESSANDRO, Auteur ; Maria Grazia PASCA, Auteur ; Antonio TRABACCA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1249-1258 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism classification system of functioning: social communication  autism spectrum disorder  diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders-5th edition  social communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this study was to classify children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) according to Autism Classification System of Functioning: Social Communication (ACSF:SC) criteria, in order to investigate the association between social communication ability, ASD severity, adaptive functioning, cognitive abilities and psychoeducational profile. The severity of social communication impairment was specified through Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th edition (DSM-5) and ACSF:SC tool. The ADOS-2, Vineland-II and PEP-3 were administered to all participants. We found a positive correlation between DSM-5 levels and ACSF:SC-Typical Performance (r = 0.35; P = 0.007) and ACSF:SC-Capacity (r = 0.31; P = 0.01) levels. Children included in the five levels of ACSF:SC (Typical Performance and Capacity) showed statistically significant differences in ADOS-2 (Social Affect), Vineland-II (Communication and Socialization), and PEP-3 (Communication, motor skills, maladaptive behavior) scores. The results of this study indicate that ACSF:SC provide a better understanding of functional profile of children with ASD based on the social communication abilities. Children with greater severity of social communication showed more difficulty in adaptive behavior and psychoeducational profiles. In conclusion, the ACSF:SC could help clinicians and therapists not only to understand the strength and weakness of preschool children with ASD but also to devise specific treatment in order to promote their social integration.
