Caregiver sensitivity predicts infant language use, and infant language complexity predicts caregiver language complexity, in the context of possible emerging autism / Jodie SMITH in Autism Research, 16-4 (April 2023)

In the context of infants showing early signs of autism, we investigated prospective bidirectional associations with 6-min free-play interaction samples collected for 103 caregivers and their infants (mean age 12-months; and followed up 6-months later). We anticipated that measures of caregiver sensitivity/language input and infant language would show within-domain temporal stability/continuity, but also that there would be predictive associations from earlier caregiver input to subsequent child language, and vice versa. Caregiver sensitive responsiveness (from the Manchester Assessment of Caregiver-Infant interaction [MACI]) predicted subsequent infant word tokens (i.e., amount of language, coded following the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts [SALT]). Further, earlier infant Mean Length of Utterance (MLU; reflecting language complexity, also derived from SALT coding) predicted later caregiver MLU, even when controlling for variability in infant ages and clear within-domain temporal stability/continuity in key measures (i.e., caregiver sensitive responsiveness and infant word tokens; and infant and caregiver MLU). These data add empirical support to theorization on how caregiver input can be both supportive of, and potentially influenced by, infant capacities, when infants have social-communication differences and/or communication/language delays suggestive of possible emerging autism.

Continuity of temperament subgroup classifications from infancy to toddlerhood in the context of early autism traits / Lacey CHETCUTI in Autism Research, 16-3 (March 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-3 (March 2023) . - p.591-604 Titre : Continuity of temperament subgroup classifications from infancy to toddlerhood in the context of early autism traits Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lacey CHETCUTI, Auteur ; Mirko ULJAREVI?, Auteur ; Kandice J. VARCIN, Auteur ; Maryam BOUTRUS, Auteur ; Stefanie DIMOV, Auteur ; Sarah PILLAR, Auteur ; Josephine BARBARO, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur ; Jonathan GREEN, Auteur ; Andrew J. O. WHITEHOUSE, Auteur ; Kristelle HUDRY, Auteur ; the AICES TEAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.591-604 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Our previous cross-sectional investigation (Chetcuti et al., 2020) showed that infants with autism traits could be divided into distinct subgroups based on temperament. This longitudinal study builds on this existing work by exploring the continuity of temperament subgroup classifications and their associations with behavioral/clinical phenotypic features from infancy to toddlerhood. 103 infants (68% male) showing early signs of autism were referred to the study by community healthcare professionals and seen for assessments when aged around 12-months (Time 1), 18-months (Time 2), and 24-months (Time 3). Latent profile analysis revealed inhibited/low positive, active/negative reactive, and sociable/well-regulated subgroups at each timepoint, and a unique reactive/regulated subgroup at Time 3. Cross-tabulations indicated a significant likelihood of children having a recurrent subgroup classification from one timepoint to the next, and no apparent patterns to the movement of children who did change from one subgroup to another over time. Temperament subgroups were associated with concurrent child social-emotional functioning and autism traits, but unrelated to child age, sex, or developmental level. These findings suggest that temperament subgroup classifications might represent a reliable and very early indicator of autism characteristics and social-emotional functioning among infants/toddlers with autism traits.

Performance of the Autism Observation Scale for Infants with community-ascertained infants showing early signs of autism / Kristelle HUDRY in Autism, 25-2 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 25-2 (February 2021) . - p.490-501 Titre : Performance of the Autism Observation Scale for Infants with community-ascertained infants showing early signs of autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kristelle HUDRY, Auteur ; Lacey CHETCUTI, Auteur ; Maryam BOUTRUS, Auteur ; Sarah PILLAR, Auteur ; Emma K.

VARCIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.490-501 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : developmental psychology  diagnosis  early signs  individual variability/heterogeneity  infants  psychometrics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We investigated whether a commonly used research assessment - the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI) - accurately measures autism behaviours among infants showing early signs of autism identified within the community. The AOSI is often included in studies tracking the development of infants at increased likelihood of autism, such as the infant siblings of diagnosed children. However, the suitability of this measure has not previously been tested with community-referred infants. We administered the AOSI with infants when aged 9 to 14 months and again 6?months later. Our researchers - independent of the AOSI development team and newly trained on this measure - were able to administer the brief interactive assessment and score it accurately. The infants' AOSI scores were linked to their scores on other established and validated clinical assessments, particularly at the second visit when average age was 18?months. Stronger correspondence of AOSI and other scores at this second visit suggests early autism behaviours are better established and more consistent by 18?months of age, even though these infants showed clear enough signs of possible autism to prompt referral to our study around 12?months of age. However, the moderate association of AOSI scores over time suggests that, like infant siblings - who mostly do not develop autism - community-identified infants showing early signs may also have variable developmental pathways in early life.
