We suggest that unique aspects of the predictive brain in autistic individuals might contribute to these challenges, potentially varying by sex. Our study aimed to test these hypotheses by examining cognitive flexibility under different predictability conditions in a sample including a similar number of males and females. We conducted an online study with 263 adults (127 with an autism diagnosis), where participants completed a flexibility task under varying levels of predictability (unpredictable, moderately predictable, and predictable). Our results indicate that as task predictability increases, performance improves; however, the response time gap between autistic and non-autistic individuals also widens. Moreover, we observe significant differences between autistic males and females, which differ from non-autistic individuals, highlighting the need to consider sex differences in research related to the cognition of autistic individuals. Overall, our findings contribute to a better understanding of cognitive flexibility and sex differences in autism in light of predictive brain theories and suggest avenues for further research.

Fundamental movement skills in children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review / Aditi GANDOTRA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 78 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 78 (October 2020) . - 101632 Titre : Fundamental movement skills in children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Aditi GANDOTRA, Auteur ; Eszter KOTYUK, Auteur ; Anna SZEKELY, Auteur ; Krisztian KASOS, Auteur ; Luca CSIRMAZ, Auteur ; Renata CSERJESI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101632 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fundamental movement skills  Autism spectrum disorder  Movement assessment batteries Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are basic movement skills (i.e. balance, object control, and locomotor skills) that form the foundation for more advanced movement patterns. These skills are a crucial but often an overlooked part of the development process, especially in populations with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In view of this, the present review was undertaken with the purpose of determining the extent of FMS impairments in children with ASD compared to typically developing children and those with other developmental disorders. Method A total of 24 studies that measured FMS in children with ASD using product- and process-oriented standardized movement assessment batteries were included in the review. Results The results showed that impairments in FMS are highly prevalent across the ASD spectrum and that children with ASD exhibited greater impairments in FMS competencies especially object control and locomotor skills compared to typically developing children and those with other developmental disorders. Moreover, these impairments in FMS appear to emerge early in life and persist throughout late childhood years in the majority of children with ASD. Conclusion These findings provide preliminary evidence suggesting that FMS has the potential to be an early motor marker in children with ASD, and that practitioners should therefore be encouraged to consider movement skill evaluations as a routine investigation for children with ASD.
