Motor atypicalities in infancy are associated with general developmental level at 2 years, but not autistic symptoms / Sheila ACHERMANN in Autism, 24-7 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-7 (October 2020) . - p.1650-1663 Titre : Motor atypicalities in infancy are associated with general developmental level at 2 years, but not autistic symptoms Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sheila ACHERMANN, Auteur ; Pär NYSTRÖM, Auteur ; Sven BÖLTE, Auteur ; Terje FALCK-YTTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1650-1663 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : *autism spectrum disorder  *infancy  *interceptive action skills  *motion capture technology  *motor development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Atypicalities in motor functioning are often observed in later born infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder. The goal of our study was to investigate motor functioning in infants with and without familial history of autism spectrum disorder. Specifically, we investigated how infants catch a ball that is rolling toward them following a non-straight path, a task that requires both efficient planning and execution. Their performance was measured using detailed three-dimensional motion capture technology. We found that several early motor functioning measures were different in infants with an older autistic sibling compared to controls. However, these early motor measures were not related to autistic symptoms at the age of 2 years. Instead, we found that some of the early motor measures were related to their subsequent non-social, general development. The findings of our study help us understand motor functioning early in life and how motor functioning is related to other aspects of development.

Parents’ experiences from participating in an infant sibling study of autism spectrum disorder / Sheila ACHERMANN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 69 (January 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 69 (January 2020) . - p.101454 Titre : Parents’ experiences from participating in an infant sibling study of autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sheila ACHERMANN, Auteur ; Sven BÖLTE, Auteur ; Terje FALCK-YTTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101454 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Infant siblings  Early identification  Ethics  Risk factors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Prospective longitudinal studies of infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) play an important role in advancing our knowledge about early developmental pathways in ASD. Despite this clear benefit, currently little is known about potential risks or disadvantages for participating families. As a first step in addressing this issue, we asked parents about their experiences from participating in an infant sibling study. Method Eighty-eight families responded to a questionnaire examining parents’ experiences from participating in an infant sibling study. The questions assessed parents’ satisfaction with the study, the child’s perceived satisfaction, and the parents’ motivation for participating. The study included parents of two groups, (1) infants with an older sibling diagnosed with ASD (HR, high risk, n?=?43) and (2) infants with no familial history of ASD (LR, low risk, n?=?21). Results The results indicated that parents are generally positive about study participation and few disadvantages were reported. This pattern was mirrored when splitting parents’ responses into the two groups. There was no indication for group differences between parents of infants at high risk and low risk for ASD. Conclusion Our findings present a first step into understanding parents’ experiences from participating in an infant sibling study. Most parents were satisfied with participation in the study and only few disadvantages were reported. Our results have implications for ethical discussions about benefits and risks regarding infant sibling studies in various fields.

Updating Expectations About Unexpected Object Motion in Infants Later Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Sheila ACHERMANN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-11 (November 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-11 (November 2021) . - p.4186-4198 Titre : Updating Expectations About Unexpected Object Motion in Infants Later Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sheila ACHERMANN, Auteur ; T. FALCK-YTTER, Auteur ; Sven BÖLTE, Auteur ; P. NYSTROM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4186-4198 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnosis  Child  Humans  Infant  Motivation  Autism spectrum disorder  Eye tracking  Infants  Prediction  Tolerance for uncertainty  Visual motion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In typical development, infants form predictions about future events based on incoming sensory information, which is essential for perception and goal-directed action. It has been suggested that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make predictions differently compared to neurotypical individuals. We investigated how infants who later received an ASD diagnosis and neurotypical infants react to temporarily occluded moving objects that violate initial expectations about object motion. Our results indicate that infants regardless of clinical outcome react similarly to unexpected object motion patterns, both in terms of gaze shift latencies and pupillary responses. These findings indicate that the ability to update representations about such regularities in light of new information may not differ between typically developing infants and those with later ASD.
