In this study, 180 autistic children, age 2-8?years, participated in a study examining the relationship between executive function abilities, measured by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, and assessments of sustained attention measured via eye-tracking and several language and social communication measures. Results revealed that children with higher caregiver-reported executive function skills, specifically, working memory and planning/organization abilities, demonstrated higher levels of caregiver-reported receptive-expressive social communication abilities measured via the Pervasive Developmental Disorder Behavior Inventory. Higher executive function abilities across all domains were associated with lower levels of social pragmatic problems. Children who were able to sustain their attention for a longer duration demonstrated higher expressive language abilities. These results suggest that executive function and attention skills may play an important role in multiple domains of functioning in autistic children. It will be useful to determine whether therapies that seek to improve executive function skills in autistic individuals also positively influence their social/communication and language abilities.Lay AbstractExecutive functioning describes a set of cognitive processes that affect thinking and behavior. Past research has shown that autistic individuals often have delays in the acquisition of executive function abilities. Our study explored how differences in executive function and attention abilities relate to social abilities and communication/language in 180 young autistic children. Data were gathered via caregiver report (questionnaires/interviews) and an assessment of vocabulary skills. The ability to sustain attention to a dynamic video was measured via eye tracking. We found that children with higher levels of executive function skills demonstrated lower levels of social pragmatic problems, a measure of having difficulties in social contexts. Furthermore, children who were able to sustain their attention longer to the video displayed higher levels of expressive language. Our results emphasize the importance of executive function and attention skills across multiple areas of functioning in autistic children, in particular those that involve language and social communication.

Automated movement tracking of young autistic children during free play is correlated with clinical features associated with autism / Andrew YUAN in Autism, 27-8 (November 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 27-8 (November 2023) . - p.2530-2541 Titre : Automated movement tracking of young autistic children during free play is correlated with clinical features associated with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andrew YUAN, Auteur ; Maura SABATOS-DEVITO, Auteur ; Alexandra L BEY, Auteur ; Samantha MAJOR, Auteur ; Kimberly LH CARPENTER, Auteur ; Lauren FRANZ, Auteur ; Jill HOWARD, Auteur ; Saritha VERMEER, Auteur ; Ryan SIMMONS, Auteur ; Jesse TROY, Auteur ; Geraldine DAWSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2530-2541 Mots-clés : autism  caregiver-child  free play  movement  video tracking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic children?s play provides insights into social, communication, and other skills; however, methods for measuring these observations can be labor-intensive and rely on subjective judgment. This study explored whether children?s movement and location during play measured via automated video tracking correlates with clinical features. Movement tracking metrics of 164 autistic children (27-96?months old) during free play were analyzed in relation to standard assessments of cognitive, language, social-communication, and adaptive skills. Children with higher cognitive and language abilities were more likely to spend time in the center toy region and more slowly or never approached the region without toys. Children with higher autism-related features spent less time in the center. Children with lower daily living skills spent more time near the caregiver and those with lower overall adaptive and language skills approached the caregiver more quickly. Over 90% of autistic children representing a range of ages and skills provided analyzable movement data during play and those with higher cognitive, language, and adaptive skills displayed movement tracking patterns that reflect more sustained focus on toy play and independence from the caregiver. Results suggest that automated movement tracking is a promising complementary, objective method for assessing clinical variation during autistic children?s play.Lay AbstractPlay-based observations allow researchers to observe autistic children across a wide range of ages and skills. We recorded autistic children playing with toys in the center of a room and at a corner table while a caregiver remained seated off to the side and used video tracking technology to track children?s movement and location. We examined how time children spent in room regions and whether or not they approached each region during play related to their cognitive, social, communication, and adaptive skills to determine if tracking child movement and location can meaningfully demonstrate clinical variation among autistic children representing a range of ages and skills. One significant finding was that autistic children who spent more time in the toy-containing center of the room had higher cognitive and language abilities, whereas those who spent less time in the center had higher levels of autism-related behaviors. In contrast, children who spent more time in the caregiver region had lower daily living skills and those who were quicker to approach the caregiver had lower adaptive behavior and language skills. These findings support the use of movement tracking as a complementary method of measuring clinical differences among autistic children. Furthermore, over 90% of autistic children representing a range of ages and skills in this study provided analyzable play observation data, demonstrating that this method allows autistic children of all levels of support needs to participate in research and demonstrate their social, communication, and attention skills without wearing any devices.

Eye-tracking measures of social versus nonsocial attention are related to level of social engagement during naturalistic caregiver-child interactions in autistic children / Carla A. WALL in Autism Research, 16-5 (May 2023)

This study investigated ET measures of social attention as predictors of social engagement during a naturalistic caregiver-child interaction (CCI). Participants included 132, 2-7-year-old autistic children (77% male) and their caregivers. Participants engaged in a CCI and an ET task in which they viewed a video of an actor making dyadic bids toward the child with toys in the background. Pearson correlations and multiple regression analyzes revealed that ET measures correlated with social engagement behaviors, including degree of attention to the caregiver and objects, joint engagement with the caregiver, and language-based joint engagement. Children who spent more time looking at toys were more likely to be unengaged during social interaction. Those who spent more time looking at the actor's mouth were more likely to engage in coordinated play with and without language. Sex moderated the relationship between time looking at toys and unengagement during play; males who spent more time looking at toys spent more time unengaged during play, whereas females who spent more time looking at toys spent less time unengaged during play. Overall, ET measures of social and nonsocial attention correlated with the level of social engagement during naturalistic play, with some sex differences. Eye-tracking measures that predict interaction patterns may provide insight into promoting social engagement between caregivers and their autistic children and can inform outcome monitoring and intervention development.

Gastrointestinal problems are associated with increased repetitive behaviors but not social communication difficulties in young children with autism spectrum disorders / Payal CHAKRABORTY in Autism, 25-2 (February 2021)

These gastrointestinal symptoms have been associated with higher levels of irritability and aggressive behavior, but less is known about their relationship with core autism spectrum disorder symptoms. We investigated the relationship between autism spectrum disorder symptom severity and gastrointestinal symptoms while accounting for three associated behavioral symptom domains (Irritability, Aggressiveness, and Specific Fears), in a sample of 176 children (140 males and 36 females) ages 2-7?years old with autism spectrum disorder. A large majority (93.2%) of the sample had at least one reported gastrointestinal symptom, and most (88.1%) participants had more than one gastrointestinal symptom. Various types of gastrointestinal symptoms were reported; the most common symptoms reported were constipation, food limits, gas/bloating, and stomach pain. After accounting for each associated behavioral symptom domain, repetitive behaviors and stereotypies were significantly associated with gastrointestinal symptom severity. Increased severity of autism spectrum disorder symptoms was correlated with increased gastrointestinal symptom severity. Social and communication difficulties were not significantly associated with gastrointestinal symptom severity after accounting for associated behavioral symptoms. Our findings replicate a previously described association between irritability and aggression and gastrointestinal symptoms. Furthermore, we found that repetitive behaviors, but not social or communication symptoms, are associated with gastrointestinal symptom severity, even after accounting for associated behavioral symptoms. This suggests that gastrointestinal symptoms may exacerbate repetitive behaviors, or vice versa, independent from other associated behavioral symptoms.
