This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Job-Based Social Skills (JOBSS) curriculum, a manualized, 15-week, group-delivered intervention for adults with ASD. The intervention aimed to increase social-pragmatic skills necessary to obtain and maintain employment. Twenty-two adults were randomly assigned to either JOBSS intervention or wait-list control groups. Results showed significant improvement in social cognition, as reported by caregivers, among JOBSS group participants compared to wait-list control participants. Forty-five percent of intervention participants gained employment in the six months following participation. This curriculum has potential to improve social skills of adults with ASD, thereby increasing successful employment.

Investigating Motor Preparation in Autism Spectrum Disorder With and Without Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder / Marta MIGO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-6 (June 2022)

Motor impairments are common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which commonly co-occur. Alterations in predictive processes may impact motor planning. Whether motor planning deficits are characteristic of ASD broadly or magnified in the context of co-morbid ADHD is unclear. ASD children with (ASD+ADHD; n=12) and without (ASD?-?ADHD; n=9) comorbid ADHD and typical controls (n=29) performed voluntary motor actions that either did or did not result in auditory consequences. ASD?-?ADHD children demonstrated LRP enhancement when their action produced an effect while ASD+ADHD children had attenuated responses regardless of action-effect pairings. Findings suggest influence of ADHD comorbidity on motor preparation and prediction in ASD.

Phenotypic variation in neural sensory processing by deletion size, age, and sex in Phelan-McDermid syndrome / Melody Reese SMITH in Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 17 (2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders > 17 (2025) Titre : Phenotypic variation in neural sensory processing by deletion size, age, and sex in Phelan-McDermid syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Melody Reese SMITH, Auteur ; Elizabeth BERRY-KRAVIS, Auteur ; Andrew THALIATH, Auteur ; Emily L. ISENSTEIN, Auteur ; Allison R. DURKIN, Auteur ; Jennifer FOSS-FEIG, Auteur ; Paige M. SIPER, Auteur ; Charles A. NELSON, Auteur ; Lauren BACZEWSKI, Auteur ; April R. LEVIN, Auteur ; Craig M. POWELL, Auteur ; Stormi L. PULVER, Auteur ; Matthew W. MOSCONI, Auteur ; Alexander KOLEVZON, Auteur ; Lauren E. ETHRIDGE, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humans  Female  Male  Adolescent  Child  Electroencephalography  Chromosomes, Human, Pair 22/genetics  Chromosome Disorders/physiopathology/genetics  Chromosome Deletion  Phenotype  Evoked Potentials/physiology  Age Factors  Sensory Gating/physiology  Acoustic Stimulation  Brain/physiopathology  Evoked Potentials, Auditory/physiology  Auditory Perception/physiology  Sex Factors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) is a rare genetic condition characterized by deletion or mutation of region 22q13.3, which includes the SHANK3 gene. Clinical descriptions of this population include severely impaired or absent expressive language, mildly dysmorphic features, neonatal hypotonia, developmental delays, intellectual impairments, and autistic-like traits including abnormal reactivity to sensory stimuli. Electroencephalography (EEG) has shown promise as a tool for identifying neurophysiological abnormalities in neurodevelopmental disorders. However, few EEG studies focused on sensory processing have been performed on this population. Thus, this study focuses on comparisons of event-related potential (ERP), event-related spectral perturbation (ERSP), and inter-trial coherence (ITC) between PMS and typically developing (TD) individuals in a standard auditory gating task measuring attenuation of neural activity to repetitive auditory stimuli. METHODS: A total of 37 participants, 21 PMS (12 females, age range 8-18.6 years) and 16 TD individuals (8 females, age range 8.2-15.3 years) were included. Analysis consisted of a series of general linear models using a regional (frontal) and global (whole-head) approach to characterize neural activity between PMS and TD participants by age, sex, and group. RESULTS: Most notably, individuals with PMS had delayed or low amplitude P50, N1, and P2 responses in frontal and whole-head analyses as well as poor frontal phase-locking to auditory stimuli for alpha, beta and gamma ITC, indicating impaired processing of stimulus properties. Additionally, individuals with PMS differed from TD by age in delta, theta, and alpha power, as well as frontal beta-gamma ITC, suggesting different developmental trajectories for individuals with PMS. Within PMS, larger deletion sizes were associated with increased auditory processing abnormalities for frontal P50 as well as whole-head P50 and N1. LIMITATIONS: This is one of the largest EEG studies of PMS. However, PMS is a rare genetic condition, and our small sample has limited statistical power for subgroup comparisons. Findings should be considered exploratory. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that participants with PMS exhibit auditory processing abnormalities with complex variation by deletion-size, age, and sex with congruency to impaired early recognition (P50), feature processing (N1), information integration (delta, theta), sensory processing and auditory inhibition (alpha), and inhibitory modulation of repeated auditory stimuli (beta, gamma). Findings may provide valuable insight into clinical characterization of sensory and speech behaviors in future studies.

Reduced engagement of visual attention in children with autism spectrum disorder / Christopher S. MCLAUGHLIN in Autism, 25-7 (October 2021)

It is unclear, however, whether these are specifically social differences; it is possible that they are a result of broader alterations in engaging and disengaging visual attention. We used eye-tracking technology with children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 35) and typical development (n = 32), showing them both social and nonsocial imaging to test their visual attention. Children with autism spectrum disorder had a significant difference in how long it took them to look from an image in the middle to one on the side, depending on whether the middle image stayed on the screen or flashed off before the one on the side appeared. This difference was present for both social and nonsocial images, and was related to cognitive ability for only the children with autism spectrum disorder. Our findings suggest that children with autism spectrum disorder have differences in general processes of engaging visual attention that are not specifically social in nature, and that these processes may relate to cognitive ability in autism spectrum disorder. Affected processes of visual engagement in autism spectrum disorder may contribute to symptoms like reduced eye contact, but social-specific symptoms of autism spectrum disorder likely do not stem from reduced visual engagement alone.
