Autistic traits, emotion regulation, and sensory sensitivities in children and adults with Misophonia / L.J. RINALDI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-3 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 53-3 (March 2023) . - p.1162-1174 Titre : Autistic traits, emotion regulation, and sensory sensitivities in children and adults with Misophonia Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : L.J. RINALDI, Auteur ; Julia SIMNER, Auteur ; S. KOURSAROU, Auteur ; Jamie WARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1162-1174 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Misophonia is an unusually strong aversion to everyday sounds such as chewing, crunching, or breathing. Previous studies have suggested that rates of autism might be elevated in misophonia, and here we examine this claim in detail. We present a comprehensive review of the relevant literature, and two empirical studies examining children and adults with misophonia. We tested 142 children and 379 adults for traits associated with autism (i.e., attention-to-detail, attention-switching, social processing, communication, imagination, emotion regulation, and sensory sensitivity across multiple domains). Our data show that autistic traits are indeed elevated in misophonics compared to controls. We discuss our findings in relation to models of the interface between autism, sensory sensitivities, and the specific features of misophonia.

Components of Empathy in Children: Factor Structure of the Empathy Quotient for Children (EQ-C) / Rebecca SMEES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-6 (June 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-6 (June 2026) . - p.2148-2161 Titre : Components of Empathy in Children: Factor Structure of the Empathy Quotient for Children (EQ-C) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rebecca SMEES, Auteur ; Louisa J. RINALDI, Auteur ; Julia SIMNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2148-2161 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Empathy is multifaceted, involving sharing and understanding the emotional and mental states of others. This study investigated the factor structure of the English-language version of the Empathy Quotient for Children (EQ-C; Auyeung et al., 2009), an empathy measure previously well-validated only as a global scale. We aimed to compare children with and without educational differences (i.e., Special Educational Needs & Disabilities, SEND), and explored associations between empathy and sensory sensitivities across the whole sample. Based on responses from 680 parents, we analysed data from English-speaking children aged 6–12 years, via a series of factor analyses using polychoric correlation matrices and bass-ackward analysis. Empathy domain profiling for children with SEND status (versus children without SEND status) was investigated as group differences (t tests). Sensory sensitivities were examined via associations (correlation) and net effects (regression). We identified an optimal four-factor solution (emotional empathy, social-cognitive empathy, negative interactions, antisocial behaviours), and robust higher order one-, two- and three-factor models. Children with SEND status displayed empathy differences across all four empathy domains (all p < .001). Children with greater sensory sensitivities displayed significant differences for social-cognitive empathy and negative interactions only (both p < .001). We demonstrated the potential utility of the English-language EQ-C as a domain-level measure of empathy. Our paper discusses how the domains align with traditional emotional and cognitive dimensions in adults and cross-culturally. Our empathy profiles can be used alongside global empathy measures for different groups of children, with and without educational differences and sensory sensitivities.

Savant syndrome has a distinct psychological profile in autism / James E. A. HUGHES in Molecular Autism, 9 (2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > 9 (2018) . - 53p. Titre : Savant syndrome has a distinct psychological profile in autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : James E. A. HUGHES, Auteur ; Jamie WARD, Auteur ; Elin GRUFFYDD, Auteur ; Simon BARON-COHEN, Auteur ; Paula SMITH, Auteur ; Carrie ALLISON, Auteur ; Julia SIMNER, Auteur Article en page(s) : 53p.

Informed consent was gained from  all individual participants.Not applicable.The authors declare that they have no  competing interests.Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional  claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Savant syndrome is a condition where prodigious talent can co-occur with developmental conditions such as autism spectrum conditions (autism). It is not yet clear why some autistic people develop savant skills while others do not. Methods: We tested three groups of adults: autistic individuals who have savant skills, autistic individuals without savant skills, and typical controls without autism or savant syndrome. In experiment 1, we investigated the cognitive and behavioural profiles of these three groups by asking participants to complete a battery of self-report measures of sensory sensitivity, obsessional behaviours, cognitive styles, and broader autism-related traits including social communication and systemising. In experiment 2, we investigated how our three groups learned a novel savant skill-calendar calculation. Results: Heightened sensory sensitivity, obsessional behaviours, technical/spatial abilities, and systemising were all key aspects in defining the savant profile distinct from autism alone, along with a different approach to task learning. Conclusions: These results reveal a unique cognitive and behavioural profile in autistic adults with savant syndrome that is distinct from autistic adults without a savant skill.
