Participants were categorized by social communication questionnaire score into groups of 10 individuals within the autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) range, 14 within the pervasive developmental disorder range and 18 with few autistic traits. The ASD group were significantly poorer than the other groups on a test of cognitive flexibility. In the ASD group only, there was a strong relationship between executive performance and TOM which remained after controlling for IQ. Our findings suggest that the relationship between cognitive traits may more reliably distinguish autism than the presence of individual deficits alone.

The Boundaries of the Cognitive Phenotype of Autism: Theory of Mind, Central Coherence and Ambiguous Figure Perception in Young People with Autistic Traits / Catherine S. BEST in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-5 (May 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-5 (May 2008) . - p.840-847 Titre : The Boundaries of the Cognitive Phenotype of Autism: Theory of Mind, Central Coherence and Ambiguous Figure Perception in Young People with Autistic Traits Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Catherine S. BEST, Auteur ; Vivien J. MOFFAT, Auteur ; Michael J. POWER, Auteur ; David G. C. OWENS, Auteur ; Eve C. JOHNSTONE, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.840-847 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic-spectrum Continuum Theory-of-Mind Central-coherence Ambiguous-figures Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Theory of Mind, Weak Central Coherence and executive dysfunction, were investigated as a function of behavioural markers of autism. This was irrespective of the presence or absence of a diagnosis of an autistic spectrum disorder. Sixty young people completed the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ), false belief tests, the block design test, viewed visual illusions and an ambiguous figure. A logistic regression was performed and it was found that Theory of Mind, central coherence and ambiguous figure variables significantly contributed to prediction of behavioural markers of autism. These findings provide support for the continuum hypothesis of autism. That is, mild autistic behavioural traits are distributed through the population and these behavioural traits may have the same underlying cognitive determinants as autistic disorder.
