Beyond Modularisation: The Need of a Socio-Neuro-Constructionist Model of Autism / Beatriz LOPEZ in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-1 (January 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-1 (January 2015) . - p.31-41 Titre : Beyond Modularisation: The Need of a Socio-Neuro-Constructionist Model of Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.31-41 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Neuro-contructivism  Developmental trajectories  Engagement  Intersubjectivity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism is a developmental disorder defined by social and communication impairments. Current theoretical approaches and research studies however conceptualise autism as both static and independent from the social context in which it develops. Two lines of research stand out from this general trend. First, research from the neuroconstructivist approach of Karmiloff-Smith (Hum Brain Mapp 31:934–941, 2010) aims to establish developmental trajectories of cognitive impairments in autism over time. Second, studies from intersubjective approaches such as that of Hobson (The cradle of thought, Macmillan, London, 2002) focus on the influence of emotional engagement in cognitive impairments. Although these two lines of research have made an invaluable contribution towards our understanding of autism, both offer only partial explanations: Intersubjective approaches fail to provide a developmental perspective and the neuroconstructivist model neglects the role of the social context. This paper argues that the nature of autism demands the theoretical and methodological integration of these two approaches so that developmental and social aspects are investigated in tandem.

How central is central coherence? / Beatriz LOPEZ in Autism, 12-2 (March 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 12-2 (March 2008) . - p.159-171 Titre : How central is central coherence? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur ; Susan R. LEEKAM, Auteur ; Gerda R . J. ARTS, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.159-171 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism central-coherence-theory face-perception semantic-memory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to test the assumption drawn from weak central coherence theory that a central cognitive mechanism is responsible for integrating information at both conceptual and perceptual levels. A visual semantic memory task and a face recognition task measuring use of holistic information were administered to 15 children with autism and 16 typically developing children. If there is a central integration mechanism, performance on the two tasks should be positively associated. No relationship was found, however, between the two abilities in the comparison group and, unexpectedly, a strong significant inverse correlation was found in the autism group. Classification data further confirmed this finding and indicated the possibility of the presence of subgroups in autism. The results add to emerging evidence suggesting that central coherence is not a unitary construct.

Mental health in autistic adults: Key stages in the journey from experiencing psychological distress to recovery / Beatriz LOPEZ in Research in Autism, 124 (June 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 124 (June 2025) . - 202584 Titre : Mental health in autistic adults: Key stages in the journey from experiencing psychological distress to recovery Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202584 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Quality of life  Qualitative research  Depression  Anxiety  Health services  Adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autistic people are more likely to experience mental health difficulties than non-autistic people, yet they are less likely to access formal support. This study explored autistic adults' experiences of poor mental health at three key stages: at onset; at the stage of seeking and obtaining support; and after recovery. Methods Twelve autistic adults who had experienced, but were no longer experiencing, poor mental health, participated in a semi-structured interview. Their responses were analysed using thematic analysis clustered around the three stages of this journey. Results In terms of participants' first experience of poor mental health, findings confirm previous research highlighting social isolation as the main trigger for poor mental health, and also as a consequence. Participants also reported having difficulty recognising the symptoms and using self-help strategies. When seeking support participants reported not knowing how to seek support, seeking support from family, having difficulty communicating their need for support or not knowing what support to ask for, and having to ask for support more than once. After recovery, participants felt more confident and experienced improved psychological awareness. However, some participants still felt uncertain of what support they would seek if they experienced poor mental health again. Conclusions This study identifies the need to develop tailored interventions at key stages in the journey to poor mental health. We propose a multifaceted approach that focuses on the prevention of social isolation, the promotion of mental health literacy for autistic adults and their families, and improving recognition of symptoms and nonverbal communication of poor mental health in families and professionals.

Self-conceptualisation in autism: Knowing oneself versus knowing self-through-other / Adam FARLEY in Autism, 14-5 (September 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 14-5 (September 2010) . - p.519-530 Titre : Self-conceptualisation in autism: Knowing oneself versus knowing self-through-other Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Adam FARLEY, Auteur ; Beatriz LOPEZ, Auteur ; Guy SAUNDERS, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.519-530 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to extend Lee and Hobson’s (1998) findings regarding self-conceptualisation in autism by using a more verbally able sample. The study also investigated the ability to conceptualise self through other. Sixteen typically developing and sixteen adolescents with ASD matched for chronological and verbal mental age were administered a modified version of Damon and Hart’s (1988) self-as-subject interview, which also required participants to conceptualise themselves from another’s perspective. Self-conceptualisation ability was similar between groups across the categories of distinctiveness and continuity, but reduced in the ASD group under the category of agency. Participants with ASD were, however, less able to conceptualise themselves from another’s perspective. These results are discussed in relation to second-person processes and narrative abilities.
