Eight personal events were elicited from three groups of schoolage children: 14 high-functioning with Autism Spectrum Disorders (HFA), 12 non-autistic with developmental language disorders (DLD), and 12 typically developing matched for chronological age and non-verbal IQ. The coding focused on narrative format (constituents) and style (coherence). The analyses indicate basic knowledge of conventional narrative format in all groups but a consistent lack of high-point in HFA children’s stories interpreted as a consequence of their lack of social understanding of narrative. The results suggest novel interventions to foster autobiographical memory in HFA children which may assist in their self-awareness development.

Brief report: Parent-guided movements during play with children with autism spectrum disorder / Natasha YAMANE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 94 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 94 (June 2022) . - 101968 Titre : Brief report: Parent-guided movements during play with children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Natasha YAMANE, Auteur ; Arielle D. SNOW, Auteur ; Deborah A. FEIN, Auteur ; Letitia NAIGLES, Auteur ; Sylvie GOLDMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101968 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dyad  Parental strategies  Movement behaviors  Receptive language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate social and communication impairments from an early age. While researchers have long investigated parenting behaviors in relation to children?s social and communication development, fewer studies have examined the relevance of movement-based parenting behaviors to facilitating communication and social engagement with young children. The present study aimed to investigate: (1) parent-guided movements (PGMs) within dyads of parents and typically developing (TD) children and children with ASD; and (2) children?s ASD diagnostic and receptive language scores as predictors of PGM frequency. Method Video-recorded play interactions of 33 TD dyads (mean age: 20.4 months) and 31 dyads with ASD (mean age: 32.6 months) were matched on child?s expressive language. Data were obtained from a longitudinal study on developmental language trajectories in ASD and coded for PGMs. Results Overall, parents of children with ASD initiated PGMs more frequently than parents of TD children during play (U = 269.00, z = ? 3.58, p < 0.001). PGM frequency was predicted by children?s ADOS scores (X2 = 5.46, p = 0.02, OR = 1.26, 95% CI [1.04, 1.54]) and receptive language (X2 = 4.15, p = 0.04, OR = 5.43, 95% CI [1.10, 27.67]). Conclusions Findings suggest that parents of children with ASD and low receptive language may utilize more movement-based strategies to compensate for their children?s impaired social engagement and verbal comprehension. This study offers insight on a particular movement-based modality characterizing ASD dyads that can be used as a measure in parent-mediated interventions.

Intermodal matching of emotional expressions in young children with autism / Ronit KAHANA-KALMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-2 (April-June 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 2-2 (April-June 2008) . - p.301-310 Titre : Intermodal matching of emotional expressions in young children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ronit KAHANA-KALMAN, Auteur ; Sylvie GOLDMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.301-310 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Intermodal-matching Emotional-expression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the ability of young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to detect affective correspondences between facial and vocal expressions of emotion using an intermodal matching paradigm. Four-year-old children with ASD (n = 18) and their age-matched normally developing peers (n = 18) were presented pairs of videotaped facial expressions accompanied by a single soundtrack matching the affect of one of the two facial expressions. In one block of trials, the emotions were portrayed by their mothers; in another block of trials, the same emotion pairs were portrayed by an unfamiliar woman. Findings showed that ASD children were able to detect the affective correspondence between facial and vocal expressions of emotion portrayed by their mothers, but not a stranger. Furthermore, in a control condition using inanimate objects and their sounds, ASD children also showed a preference for sound-matched displays. These results suggest that children with ASD do not have a general inability to detect intermodal correspondences between visual and vocal events, however, their ability to detect affective correspondences between facial and vocal expressions of emotions may be limited to familiar displays.

Male predominance in autism: neuroendocrine influences on arousal and social anxiety / Donald W. PFAFF in Autism Research, 4-3 (June 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 4-3 (June 2011) . - p.163-176 Titre : Male predominance in autism: neuroendocrine influences on arousal and social anxiety Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Donald W. PFAFF, Auteur ; Isabelle RAPIN, Auteur ; Sylvie GOLDMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.163-176 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : behavioral analysis of animal models  developmental neurobiology  sex differences  testosterone  androgen receptor Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We offer a neurobiologic theory based on animal work that helps account for the conspicuous male predominance in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In young male animals, testosterone (TST) binds to androgen receptors (AR) in brainstem neurons responsible for enhancing brain arousal. As a consequence, arousal-related neurotransmitters bombard the amygdala hypersensitized by TST acting though AR. Arousal-related inputs are known to prime amygdaloid mechanisms for fear and anxiety, with resultant social avoidance. We hypothesize that similar mechanisms contribute to autism's male predominance and to its defining impaired social skills. The theory rests on two key interacting factors: the molecular effects of TST in genetically vulnerable boys in combination with environmental stresses they experienced in utero, neonatally, or during the first years. We postulate that higher TST levels and, therefore, higher amounts of arousal-related inputs to the amygdala sensitize these genetically vulnerable male infants to very early stresses. In sharp contrast to boys, girls not only do not have high levels of TST-facilitated arousal-causing inputs to the amygdala but they also enjoy the protection afforded by estrogenic hormones, oxytocin, and the oxytocin receptor. This theory suggests that novel technologies applied to the molecular endocrinology of TST's actions through AR will offer new avenues of enquiry into ASD. Since the high male preponderance in autism is important yet understudied, we offer our theory, which is based on detailed neurobehavioral research with animals, to stimulate basic and clinical research in animals and humans and hopefully help develop novel more effective medical treatments for autism.

Motor stereotypies and volumetric brain alterations in children with Autistic Disorder / Sylvie GOLDMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)

These stigmatizing motor behaviors represent one manifestation of the third core criterion for an Autistic Disorder (AD) diagnosis, and are becoming viewed as potential early markers of autism. Moreover, motor stereotypies might be a tangible expression of the underlying neurobiology of this neurodevelopmental disorder. In this study, we videoscored stereotypies recorded during semi-structured play sessions from school age children with AD. We examined the effect of severity and persistence over time of stereotypies on brain volumetric changes. Our findings confirmed that the brain volume of school age children with AD is, on average, larger than that of age-matched typically developing children. However, we have failed to detect any sign of volumetric differences in brain regions thought to be particularly linked to the pathophysiology of stereotypies. This negative finding may suggest that, at least with respect to motor stereotypies, functional rather than structural alterations might be the underpinning of these disruptive motor manifestations of autism.
