Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-2 (February 2022) . - p.308-316 Titre : Alexithymic and autistic traits in children and adolescents: A systematic review of the current state of knowledge Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : P. VAIOULI, Auteur ; O. LUMINET, Auteur ; Georgia PANAYIOTOU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.308-316 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : alexithymia  autism  children and adolescents  psychometric and assessments Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this study, we aim to explore the ability of autistic children to process emotions and respond to a range of feelings in relation to a triad of difficulties known as alexithymia, namely children's difficulties to recognize, describe, and distinguish emotions. Alexithymia is common in autistic adults but we know very little about children. To understand this condition better, within a large group of studies, first we study the extent to which alexithymia difficulties are present in autistic children. In reviewing the literature, we also present the assessment measures implemented in each study, their limitations, and potential effects on our understanding of findings. This knowledge will help us understand the extent to which alexithymia is present in autistic children and how it may be related to their emotional difficulties. Also, it will allow us to further detect challenges early on in children's lives so that we recommend interventions that teach autistic children how to recognize, describe, and distinguish emotions in themselves and in others. Such interventions may include family members of autistic children to assist interactions with their child. Supporting children from an early age will help them develop skills that will ready them for school and life and it will enhance their ability to build supportive relationships and meet their fullest potential.
