However, such monitors may not be comfortable for children with autism due to sensory sensitivities. To determine the feasibility of wearable technology in children with autism age 8-12 years, we first selected six consumer-grade wireless cardiovascular monitors and tested them during rest and movement conditions in 23 typically developing adults. Subsequently, the best performing monitors (based on data quality robustness statistics), Polar and Mio Fuse, were evaluated in 32 children with autism and 23 typically developing children during a 2-h session, including rest and mild stress-inducing tasks. Cardiovascular data were recorded simultaneously across monitors using custom software. We administered the Comfort Rating Scales to children. Although the Polar monitor was less comfortable for children with autism than typically developing children, absolute scores demonstrated that, on average, all children found each monitor comfortable. For most children, data from the Mio Fuse (96%-100%) and Polar (83%-96%) passed quality thresholds of data robustness. Moreover, in the stress relative to rest condition, heart rate increased for the Polar, F(1,53) = 135.70, p < 0.001, ηp(2)  = 0.78, and Mio Fuse, F(1,53) = 71.98, p < 0.001, ηp(2)  = 0.61, respectively, and heart rate variability decreased for the Polar, F(1,53) = 13.41, p = 0.001, ηp(2)  = 0.26, and Mio Fuse, F(1,53) = 8.89, p = 0.005, ηp(2)  = 0.16, respectively. This feasibility study suggests that select consumer-grade wearable cardiovascular monitors can be used with children with autism and may be a promising means for tracking physiological stress or arousal responses in community settings. LAY SUMMARY: Commercially available heart rate trackers have the potential to advance stress research with individuals with autism. Due to sensory sensitivities common in autism, their comfort wearing such trackers is vital to gathering robust and valid data. After assessing six trackers with typically developing adults, we tested the best trackers (based on data quality) in typically developing children and children with autism and found that two of them met criteria for comfort, robustness, and validity.

Physiological and communicative emotional disconcordance in children on the autism spectrum / Emma FINKEL in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 16 (2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 16 (2024) Titre : Physiological and communicative emotional disconcordance in children on the autism spectrum Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Emma FINKEL, Auteur ; Eric SAH, Auteur ; McKenna SPAULDING, Auteur ; John D. HERRINGTON, Auteur ; Liza TOMCZUK, Auteur ; Aaron MASINO, Auteur ; Xueqin PANG, Auteur ; Anushua BHATTACHARYA, Auteur ; Darren HEDLEY, Auteur ; Yelena KUSHLEYEVA, Auteur ; Phoebe THOMSON, Auteur ; Natalie DOPPELT, Auteur ; Jessica TAN, Auteur ; Jeffrey PENNINGTON, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Christopher P. BONAFIDE, Auteur ; Heather J. NUSKE, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humans  Autism Spectrum Disorder/physiopathology  Child  Male  Female  Child, Preschool  Emotions/physiology  Heart Rate/physiology  Stress, Psychological/physiopathology  Affective Symptoms/physiopathology  Communication  Arousal/physiology  Facial Expression  Autism  Emotional coherence  Emotional concordance  Heart rate  Stress communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Individuals on the autism spectrum commonly have differences from non-autistic people in expressing their emotions using communicative behaviors, such as facial expressions. However, it is not yet clear if this reduced expressivity stems from reduced physiological reactivity in emotional contexts or if individuals react internally, but do not show these reactions externally to others. We hypothesized that autism is characterized by a discordance between in-the-moment internal psychophysiological arousal and external communicative expressions of emotion. METHODS: Forty-one children on the autism spectrum and 39 non-autistic, typically developing (TD) children of two age groups (2-4 and 8-12 years) participated in a low-level stress task whilst wearing a wireless electrocardiogram. Children's negative emotional expressions (facial, vocal, bodily) were coded following standardized protocols. Alexithymia traits were assessed using the Children's Alexithymia Measure with school-aged children only. Data analyses involved ANOVAs, correlations, and sensitivity analyses. RESULTS: There were no group differences in physiological arousal (heart rate) or in communicative expressions of stress to the stress task. For TD preschoolers, physiological arousal during the stress task was associated with vocal expressions and for TD school-aged children, they were associated with facial and bodily expressions. By contrast, for children on the autism spectrum, physiological arousal during the stress tasks was not associated with communicative expressions across age groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that children on the autism spectrum might experience emotional disconcordance, in that their physiological arousal does not align with their communicative expressions. Therefore, the internally experienced stress of children on the autism spectrum may be inadvertently missed by teachers and caregivers and, consequently, learning opportunities for teaching emotional communication and regulation may be also missed. Our results support the use of wearable biosensors to facilitate such interventions in children on the autism spectrum.
